r about the night that General Martin received his commission as brigadier-general, the governor of North Carolina received a communication from the war department of the Confederate States giving him in full the plan of the campaign to crush McClellan's army, and asking the governor's co-operation with the North Carolina troops in camp, but not then turned over to the Confederate government, and also attempting to reconcile him to the moving of all the other troops in the State to the State of Virginia. The statement above that the war department would communicate the plans of one of the most famous campaigns of the world more than a month before a shot was fired, might, without explanation, seem incredible. The State of North Carolina had at this time fifteen regiments, each nearly 1,000 strong, and none of them turned over to the Confederate government.

Rebellion Records, XLIII, 557. Among the wounded were Colonel Cobb and Colonel Thruston. General Ramseur succeeded Rodes in command of his veteran division, and Pegram took charge of Early's old division that Ramseur had been commanding. General Breckinridge's command was sent to southwestern Virginia. On withdrawing from Fisher's Hill, Cox's brigade handsomely repulsed the portion of the Federal army that was pressing the rear. At Cedar creek, General Kershaw's command returned to General Early. Sheridan having fallen back, Early moved forward again to Fisher's Hill. Then by a flank movement, Gordon, Pegram and Ramseur moved all night, and at dawn attacked Sheridan's left flank and rear on Cedar creek. Wharton and Kershaw, with all the artillery, made the front attack.

was a part of Howell Cobb's brigade, first under the division command of Magruder and later of McLaws. At Sharpsburg he commanded the brigade, reduced to 250 men, repelled three assaults of the enemy, and fell back when he had but 50 men left and the ammunition was exhausted. At Fredericksburg he fought with his regiment at Marye's hill. Immediately after this battle the Fifteenth was transferred to J. R. Cooke's North Carolina brigade, with which he served in his native State and southeast Virginia until after the Pennsylvania campaign. Rejoining the army of Northern Virginia, he was distinguished for valor at the battle of Bristoe Station. After General Kirkland was wounded at Cold Harbor, 1864, Colonel MacRae, with the temporary rank of brigadier-general, was assigned to the command of that brigade, General Pettigrew's old command, and he proved a fit leader for the heroes which composed it. He was identified with the record of Hill's Third army corps during the Richmond camp
