Ihe narrative itself is aa immortelle aad I rever ently lay it upon the tomhof Beau regard, tha soldier." Foiled in his attempt to carry Petersburg by General Grant now laid siege to tha city. I can not better describe the hardships endured by the hb.re thai to make extracts from the recent address of Captain Elliot "At the beginning of the siege. June aoth, the report of Martin> Brigade occupying C«b|uitt's snli ent showed s.soo men for duty. In Septemlter, when th-y were re lieved, the totnl force was 700 nothing but living skeletons. Oc copying the sharpsslient, the work was enfiladed on both flanks by dinct fire nnd the mo: tar shells cam! incessantly down irom above. Every man was detailed every night, either 00 guard duty or to labor wi.h pick and spa ic repairing works knocked down dating the day. There was ao shelter that summer from sun or ram. K loud could be cooked there but the scanty provisions were brought in Wags on the shoulders of men from the cook yard somemiies distant. The ration* consisted of one pound of pork and three pounds of meal meals lor three days—ao coffee, oc sugar, no ao grog, n» toltacep, nothing but the bread and meat. No wonder that the list ol officers was reduced to three Cap tains snd a few Lieutenants with but one staff officer, (spared through God's mercy) to this brigade of 70c skeletons. But every feeble body contained aa unbrokea spirit and sfter the Fall mouths came, those who had not fallen into their graves or been disabled, returned to tbeii colors snd saw them wave in vic tory ia their last fight at Beatoa ville." In July their beloved Brigade Commander. General Martin, war transferred to North Carolina and General Kirk land became hk •ac cessor. General Martin was great If beloved by bit soldiers. Tfcej had the most unbounded confi dence in his military skill and ad miration for bis personal bravery illustrated on every battlefield •beta they hnd followed htm. In October the brigade was sent to the Richmond front and parti upated in the minor engagements of Hen rico C H„ Charles City Road and others, maintaining its high reps la tion for bravery. Advices having readied General Lee of the preparation by the Fed erals of a land and naval expedition for the capture of Fort Fisher. Hoke's division was seat to its re lief. The Stv«mleeath mid parts of the Forty-second and £ixty-sutb division and reached WJaiogton at 1 a. m.. on December a«, and. aler being lunched at the depot by the patriotic ladies of that city, took np the Hnfc of toarck lor Fort Fisher, the Seventeenth bivoaackiag there On the night of the saiae day. The enemy baring effectel a landing at Port Catling on tSe ocean side the regiment was withdrawn front Fort Fisher on the morning of the ijfr. and moving down the m li 'ary road were ordered to attach BatlerV troops. Normals con pony in front, supported by the balance of the regiment, deployed as J kirmisbers assailed the enemy. General Kirklanl in his official re port said : *' Lieutenant-Colonel Sharp, Sev enteenth N. C.. presided clone upon and drove their skirmish liac back upon their main body, which was covered by the guns of at least thirty men of war l> ing broadside to the beach. Captain Norman. Company O, dserres special notice:" A Lieutenant and tea men were captured. The regimect lost three men killed and twenty wounded in this engagement. Before the arrival of the balance «of our division. Batter had re em barked bis troops and thus ended the powdership fiasco and the military career of this modern FaL ataff—be being reb«. vod by General Grant. The ease with which this land aad naval attack was repulsed, uu d-übtedly created in the mind oI General Bragg and undue feeiing of aeruritj. Not anticipating a re newal cf the attack on Fort Fisher, unfortunately the division was nltl drawn to Wilmington. On Ihe after noon of January 14 whilst the rrgimenls of the division were' on dress parade in Wilming ton. the enemy had re appcare. before Fort Fisher and were land tug their forces, and before the ■lit ision could be transported to Sugar Loaf, Ihe liu'k of thi K-ili:.«! forces had landed and. pnhib; thai night across the peninsula, con structed a line of field works frcm the ocean to the Cape Fear, !nu» cutting off all land communication l«etwcen Hoke's Division and Fo.t Fisher.
