THR' DAILY JOURNAL. WILMINGTON, N. C. : SUNDAY, OCTOBER T. 1806, THE GALLANT PELHAM. 4 From the Houston (Texas) Journal. "Where is there a soldier of the old army. wbo was on tbe heights of Fredericksburg, but can recollect the hero, yoanp Pelham. c.ui: . . . Vi ... .' ugiiuuf ins guns m i rout oi r raniuin a corps. One thrill of admiration ran throughout the army, and the great hero, as bravo as he was modest, had his reward in tho general orders of Gen. Leef of the battlo, when ho atyled him ' the gallant remain, a name that was at once adopted throughout the army.,' 'The sublimity of this compliment is enhanced by the fact tnat ne was tne only one ever mentioned by Gen. Lee in general orders, under the rank of a General. Wo watched him fighting with unremit ting ardor the guns that he commanded. Now firing, now retreating, and then returning almost to tho very line of the re turning foe at each discharge a silver line of white wonld gleam where the line of blue had before stood. It was a grand and terriflo sight. We could hear all around the shouts of our men as they cried : " See how he fights. Who is it? .What a sol dier 1 It is Pelham !" and cheer after cheer went up when making his stand near the centre of the field, he fonght until nearly every horse ho had was killed, and the men torn to fragments by shot and ' shell. Then wo understood his work, for gliding to the right of us came Stonewall Jackson's and A. P. Hill's corps, and the lines collided. Pelham's work was done. and General Lee, in presence of his corps commanders and his staff made the remark, " Is it not a wonder how one so young can be so brave ?" This compliment brought from nun only a oiusn upon his beardless cheek. lirave and heroic heart, we saw him. fall in the front of Averill's fierce surprise. He was leading to the front some stragglers, ana endeavoring to rally a broken line, his fine sabre glistening in patriotio circles over nis neaa, ana nis clear voice cheering up eacn weary neart to one more honest effort, when a shell burst over his head, and one fragment went hissing through his brow. He fell, and for a moment there was a pause, btuart for a moment stopped and looked at him, and said in a solemn tone, the tears trickling from his eyes, " Serving on my staff is fatal it is fatal. " The following narrative of Hamr Gil- more tells the rest of the close of this pure good Life : "He was taken from the field bv Col. Harry Gilmore, laid upon his horse and placed in charge of two dismounted men witn orders to carry him to an ambulance and call a surgeon. . OoL Gilwore thus re lates in his book, entitled " Four Years in the Saddle," the subsequent fate and brutal treatment of one of the noblest spirits that perished for the "Lost cause." " On my way to Culpepper, I overtook, near Brandy Station, the two men I had placed in charge of Pelham, making their way back to Culpepper, with the body across the horse, just as they had started from the field of battle, his head and hands hanging1 down on one side, his legs on the other face, hair and hands soaked and clotted with mud and blood. "Overwhelmed with horror. I had him laid on the grass in the fence corner, and then, to my astonishment, found him still alive. Imagine my indignation and vented wrath, when I found that instead of look ing for an ambulance, they had moved to ward Culpepper, a distance of eight miles, four of which they had already accom plished. I firmly believe that had suroieal aid been called to remove the compression At , L , . l . on tne unuii, ms me might nave oeen saved. "An ambulance was immediately sent for him, and by the time I had dispatched my business with tho telegraph, Pelham had arrived in town, and was at once con veyed to Bessie's home, where the ladies had all things in readiness for his te- eeption. Three surgeons were soon in at tendance ; and after, by gentle hands he had been washed with warm water, his feet and hands swathed in flannel, and some brandy poured in his mouth, the surgeons commenced relieving the compression on tne brain, llie piece of shell that had struck him was not larger than the end of my Little finger. It entered just at the curl of the hair on the back of the head, raking through the skull without even piercing the brain, coming out two inches below the point where it had entered. The skull was badly shattered between the entrance and the exit of the shell As the surgeons re moved the pieces, I selected one as a me mento of one of the most gallant and high ly esteemed officers of the Southern army. He was just 21 years of age. I lie surgeons soon pronounced his case hopeless, and left him to the care of Betie and myself other friends crowded in. About L, p. m., his eyes opened he turned toward me with an unconscious look closed them drew a long breath, and died with out a struggle. We dressed liim in his best uniform, and had bnt ju3t laid him on the bed, when the door was gently opened, and Stuart entered, having returned from the fight at Kelly's Ford. G reat tears rolled down his cheeks as he silently gazed on the lifeless form, and then retired. "Exhausted with fatigue. I lay down upon the floor, and slept soundly beside the mortal remains of a companion who had ridden to tbe field that morning in usually fine spirits ; but such is the fortune of war." . ) Thns, indeed, rerihcd a great and food lad. He was carried to his home in Alaba ma, and buried beneath her loved soiL In Richmond his body lay in state, and the ladies of the doomed city not only covered his coffin with wreaths of evergreens, im mortelles ana pure white roses, to desig nate the purity of his life, bnt they paid to the form mbi peur, tani rrproch the tri bute ol their tears, i. very where on the way he was greeted with funeral honors, and the noble heart of Pelham passed into his tory as the type of that pure chivalry that glowed in tho hearts of the youth of the army, and the loss of whom hath caused much mourning throughout the South. I write the above, glad of the opportuni ty to bear my testimony, feeble a it is, to the virtue, to the honor, the peerless cour age of the subject of this sketch. lours, Trrou.
