They were both born In Guilford county, Patter

fit h of November, 1839. They are son of Mr.
Peter Clapp, who resides some fiTe or eix miles east
of Greensborough. lie U a farmer, and so soon as
his boys were large enough to work, he- introduce-!
them to the pleasures and dignity of manual and
field labor. - Patterson learned to plow when he was
eight years old, and, after that yeas, he m a
regular bandit the plow-handle. Fromtheu very
first lessons in agriculture, they were utusually de
lighted with this great and ancient science.
During their boyhood, they were sent periodically
to the free and subscription schools where they
learned to read and write ; and theyxiphered nearly
through the arithmetic, which they studied. But
the enticements of books and the beauties of mental
science could not win them from the early attach
ment which they formed for labor on the farm. They
were both rather fall, neither being under flve.feet
ten inches, and enjoyed most excellent health. The
exercise, which they took in the pure air'of a country-life,
developed their physical vigor and fitted
them well for the heavy and hard toil incident to
that business.
" Oft did the harvest to the sickle yield,
Their harrow oft the stubborn glebe h th broke ;
How jocund did they drive their teams afield,
How bow 'd the woods beneath their sturdy stroke !"
About two years before the separation took place
between the two sections of the old Government
they both made professions of the religion of Christ.
Rankin connected himself with the Methodist Epis
copal Church at Mount Pleasant; and Patterson
joined the Lutheran Church at Frieden. They were
naturally gentle, kind hearted, dutiful, affectionate
and steady boys. They never caused sorrow to their
parents even before they experienced this happy
change of heart by any rude and immoral deport
ment. To the outward decorousneuj of the moral
gentleman this added the internal meekness and
gentleness of the humble believer.
Unfortunately for the service of their country,
they were early prostrated upon the couch of an in
curable sickness. Rankin was taken with the typhoid
fever while we were at Camp Rhett. He was- gjck
for several days. His brother Patterson waited apon
and nursed him with unwearied attention. He was
assisted by others ; but he never left him until his
demise. The aesis'ant surgeon attended him, and
he was visited by Dr. William A. Coble, who was
there attending his own sick brother. But all their
medical aid and careful nursing were in vain ; he
died on Jhe il'Ah day of August at 4 o'clock in the
morning, and his remains were conveyed home by
the Rev. Mr. fccheck.
When Tatterson joined the company at Camp
Hardee, after his brother's death, he did not com
plain of anything except extreme exhaustion ; but
before we movsed from that place, he took a severe
chill, which was followed by a high fever. Alter
ward, two companies and my own were allowed to
pitch a camp apart from the others ; and we selected
and occupied a high hill south of the Warnnton
turnpike where we had a'dricr and better location
and water less brackish and more palatable. Most
of my men improved at Camp Crittenden ; but Pat
terson did not seem to be bettered by the change.
We were, then, transported by the Manassas Gap
rtilrond to Thoroughfare Gap in Bull Run Moun
tain where I procured a comfortable little out-house
for those patients who were worst. For several
days, we hoped and thought Fatterson was improv
ing and would soon be able to return to his father's
on a sick-leave ; but he suddenly grew worso and
expired on the 10th of October, at a quarter past 0
o'clock in -the evening. On that very day, his appli
cation for a furlough came back from the Depart
ment headquarters approved ; but it was too late,
a higher and holier Power had furloughed him for
ever from the troubles, toils, wars and ravages of
time and sense his soul was " absent from the body
but present with the Lord !" All his fond dreams
of home and the loved of earth were swallowed up
and lost in "the valley of the shadow of Dath :"
but, infinitely to his own gain, he had entered with
his beloved brother, who had preceded him little
more than a month, upon the realization and enjoy
ment of the glorious beatific vision !

FROM THE SIXTH REGIMENT.
Camp 6th N, C. Troops, Fort Jackson, Va ,
- June 17U, 1868.
: Messh.8. Editors : I goess you will be
lightly surprised lo Uarn that oar bate
has been changed to such a remote corner, j
bat each is. the way of military affairs that
the soldier cannot sven conjecture with
ny thing like precision, where he will be
or what tie may- be doing one hour hence.
On the night of the 4th instant, we loaded
our camp plunder inte the baggage wagons
preparatory to moving at 12 o'clock; the
regiment was formed and marched to
Headquarters where we were soon joined
by the remainder of the brigade. Near 1
o'clock we took up a line of march in the
direction of Culpeper Court House, and
after a fatiguing march of fourteen hours
hailed, and pitched camp for the night.
After euppor we resigned uur weary car
casses to the arms of Morpheus who soon
snatched us far away into the land of
dreams where visions of peace, sweethearts,
homes and happiness hovers around our
hard pillows as ministering angels com
forting our sleeping hours. Morning found
us vory much refreshed, we cookod two
days additional rations and resumed our
march. We arrived at Culpeper Court
House on the 8th and pitched camp two
miles west of town, and cooked up three
days rations; on the 9th we wero detained
from our march by or& of Stoneman's at.
tempts at a raid in the county of Culpeper.
On the 10th finding that our sorvices could
not be required, cAy march was rcsunfed
and continued without furthor hindrance
until we arrived within two miles of Win
chester where we were halted, and placed
in line of battle. Gens. Rhodes' aod John
son's Divisions wero sent around to cut off
tho enemy's communication with Martins,
burg and prevent their reinforcing, while
our Division (Early') retained its position
in front of town, skirmishing and using our
batteries with great effect upon their forts.
Darkness closed the operations of tho first
day which was hailed with an air of joy by
he men, but a heavy fall of rain prevented
our resting much. On tho 14th we com
menced operations in earnest, our division
being moved constantly around to -the rear
of the Yankee fortifications where we
placed five batteries in position and com.
menced the attack by opening seventy two
pieces of artillery upon the. fort simulta
neously completely surprising the whole
Yankee garrison. By 6 o'clock we wcio in
posaepsion of all the best heights around
Winchester and had taken thirteen pieces
of artillery. Again darkness closed the
s- ene of operations and we were permitted
to sleep in lino of battle upon our arms.
While we were sleeping the enemy wero by
no means idle, but all of their assiduous
efforts to escape capture proved to be of
little avail, for as their only way of escape
was by . way of Martinsburg they were
hailed by Jthodes and not being able to
give tho countersign tb moRtof them were
sent to Gen Ewell's Head Quarters and
from there to this place (Fort Jackson)
where they have the honor to be guarded
pro tern by tho 6th .N. C. Rebels. We cap
tured thousands of Quarter Master and
Commiebary stores, wagons, horses and
every species of army equipage. Our victo
ry is complete, and the loss of tho enemy
is very great. No time for wiiting moro
at present but promise more and in little
better style if we ever get iuto camp again.
Serg't. SINCLEAR.

Prayer for Peace.
A pious correspondent in the following
modest card, proposes a union of all chris
tians wherever they may bo on the first
Sabbath in July next, to pray for the res
toration of peace. The proposition is in
these words :
TO ALL CHRISTIANS AT HOME AND IN THE
ARMY.
Dear Brethren : Wo propose that in
all religious services, whether in camp or
in our churches, that special prayer bo
made ou the 1st Sabbath in July, say the
opening prayer, for a speedy peace. Where
it is impossible to assemble with the peo
pleof God.let us retiro athatfpast 10
o'clock (on that day) to our closets and
pray for peace. Faith.
It is almost the universal-desire of the
people of tho South, that we should have an
early and an honorable peace. There are
however, those who do not desire it yet,
perhapsupon any terms. Their coffers
are not yet filled with ill-gotten gain, or if
filled, their desire for money is not yet sat
isfied. Others have an unholy ambition to
gratify an eminence in view which they
have not yet attained. Others gloat upon
tho battle field the flow of human blood
does not easily satiate them rtcklet-a ol
life, oblivious of death and of eternal judg
ment, they would drivo on, till mourning
and poverty and blood and ruin fill the
land.
The desire for peace is a pious one. War
is antipodal to piety, to sound .morals, to
soual and moral fideli ly, and to the pros
perity of the church and of the nation;
hence, every man should seek peace .with
his fellows every nation with other na
tions of the earth. It should be sought and
pursued' after, with diligence, humility,
prayer, ingenioiisness, and with a due re
gard to ilfb rights of othors.
We hail therefore, any proposition for
prayer, on the part of tho christian people,
as an omen of fetter days. Let us pray,
trusting in God alono He works strangely,
incomprehensibly, yet Ho works efficiently
powerlulli' and olten instantly upon nations

Pouring out joy and woe.
My love for thee, shall ever rest
Still ch an gl ess yet I go I

Eyes that have watched my sleep ;
Will earth give love like yours again?
Sweet mother, let me weep !

Through many a pleasant hour,
Where the silvery beauty of the forest shade
Husg dim o'er fount and bower!
Yes, thou and I, by stream, by shore,

General. Referring to my brief report
of May 22, 1 have the honor to report that,
learning from Colonel J. Richter Jone,
commanding outposts, that ho deemed it
possible to capture tho enemy's outpott
regiments at Gum Swamp oight miles fiom
Kinston, I ordered Col. Lee's brigade,
consisting of tho Fifth and Fortysixth
Massachusetts regiments, three pieces of
Bogg's battery and a battalion. of caralry
to report to bim.
Colonel Jones ordered the Fifth, Twenty-fifth
and Forty-sixlh, with the artillery
and cavalry, under tho command of Col.
Pierson, Filth Massachusetts, to advanco
up tho railroad and Dover road to aitack
tho enemy's work in front, while tho Fifty
eighth, Pennsylvania Volunteers and the
Twenty-seventh Massachusetts, Volun
teers, under tbo immediate command of
Colonel Jones, took a path through tho
swamp to reach the rear of the enemy's po
sition.
The main column under Colonel Tiorson,
met the enemy's pickets at daylight on the
22d, and driving them in, commeuced an
attack on the front. Colonel Jones, "with
his command, owing to the character of
the road they had taken and the men hav
ing to go by singlo file, did net arrive at
tho desired place until nine A. M. On ar
riving in the rear of the enemy's position,
Colonel Jones deployed such batteries ot
his command as could bemused to advan
tage, opened fire and advanced. The ene
my fired a few desultory volleys; then
broke and fled in great conlurion, taking
to tho stamps and escaping by paths
known only to themselves. On hearing
tho firing of Colonel Jones' command Col.
Pearson advanced his command and enter
ed the work in front. After securing the
prisoners (one hundred and sixty-five) and
spoil-, demolishing the enemy's works and
resting his inen Colonel Jones made a
demonatialion and show of advance on
Kinston. At dusk the same evening bis

attacked by the enemy in force and with
artillery. Ho, in obedience to orders, at

reached our outpost line without loss.
