nd of Major Gaillard, they rallied and broke a fresh line of battle that attempted to follow them. The Third regiment, led by its efficient commander, twice changed front on the field, in magnificent order, and, after twice driving the enemy, retired with the precision of troops on review. The Seventh, led by Colonel Aiken, trailed their progress to the cannon's mouth with the blood of their bravest, and, when borne back by resistless force, rallied the remnant left under command of Captain John S. Hard, the senior surviving officer. Colonel Aiken was most dangerously wounded. Every officer and man in the color company was either killed or wounded, and their total loss one hundred and forty, out of two hundred and sixty-eight men carried in. The colors of this regiment, shot from the staff, formed the winding-sheet of the last man of the color company, at the extreme point reached by our troops that day. Major White, whose death we lament, was a most gallant and accomplished office

My right flank was exposed, by a slight depression in the hill, to an oblique fire from the enemy, which was taken advantage of. Hence the greater loss in the right wing. We continued in the engagement until night, when the final charge was made and the enemy repulsed. My officers and men behaved as became South Carolinians and soldiers of Kershaw's brigade. I received valuable assistance from Major J. S. Hard and Adjutant Carwill, of this regiment, and Lieutenant Doby, of General Kershaw's staff, whose gallant conduct cannot be too highly spoken of. After night, I relieved, by order, Phillips's legion, of General Cobb's brigade, which was behind the stone fence before mentioned, in my late front. We held this position, with the wings doubled, occasionally exchanging shots with the enemy, until Tuesday morning, tenth instant, when I was ordered into the city on picket duty. We were relieved
