On the Morning of Balaclava,
died up aci fed au hour before
dawn and inoyiug at a trot across
the open field to the Berryyille road
and to Johnston's assistance; There
was not a fence nor a house nor a
bnah nor a tree to obscure the yiew.
Way off, more than two miles, we
could see the crest of the hill, cover
ed with a cloud of cavalry, and in
front of them, 500 yards in front,
was a thin grey line moving off in
retreat solidly and with perfect cool
ness and 8eTf-possession. As soon as
I got to realize what was going on I
quickened our gait, and when with
in a mile broke into u gallop.
The scene was plain as day. A
regiment of cayalry would deploy
into line, and then their bugles
would sound the "Charge" and
they'd swoop down on the "thin
grey line of 2sorth Carolina." The
instant the Yankee bugles sounded
North Carolina would halt, Jace by
the rear ranK. wait until the horses
got within 100 yards and then fire
as deliberately and as coolly as if
tiring volleys on brigade drill. The
cavalry would break and scamper
back, and North Carolina, would
"about face" and continue her march
in retreat as solemnly and with as
much dignity as if marching in re
view. Hut we got there just 114
time.

Certainly half a dozen charges
has been made at the back of the
retreatiug line, and half a dozen
times the chargiug squadrons had
been driyen back, when the enemy
sent his line with a rush at - tne
brigade of Tarheels, and one squa
dron oyerlapped ihe infantry line
and was just passing it as we got
up. in another minute they'd
have been behind the line, sabring
the men from the rear, while they
were held by the fight in front. But
we struck a headlong strain aud
went through the Yankees by the
flank of North Carolina anil carried
their adversaries back in a whirl,
bick to the crest of hill, back
through the guns of their battery,
clear back to their infantry lines.

In a moment they ml lied auu were
charging us in trout and on both
flunks, and we went in a hurry. 15ut
old North Carolina was safe. They
had got back to the rest of the in
fantry and formed Hue at right an
