From speech of Judge Clark at the unveiling of the Confederate mon ument at Hertford last week.) Perquimans is Hot a large county and when the war broke- out it con tained a large number of slaves so that it could not furnish a large num ber of men for the army. Besides for three years of the war the county was In the enemy's lines and men could not reach the Confederate army except at great hazard. Yet the coun ty did its full duty. Besides scat tering soldiers in other commands it furnished one full company Com pany F. 27th Regiment,Vommanded by Capt. William Nixon and later by Capt. B. S. SkinneT and a large part of four other companies, to-wit: Co. A. FJrstNr-C; regiment; Co. F. HJiCTregimentr Co. L. 17 N. C. regiment of which Thomas Gilliam of this county was captain, and Co. A. 13th Battalion which was an artil lery Co. and Commanded by Capt. Iws H. Webb. Of the captains from this county, Capt. Jones and Skinner were both killed in battle, one. at Bristow and the other at fteim's station. Co. A. 1st N. C. regiment was at arrenton, N. C, when that regi , The next company was jftrt of Co. F. 11 N. C. regiment which w'ty also composed of men from Perquimans and Chowan. This regiment was cemmanded first by Col. W. J. Mar tin. In 1862 it served from Frank lin, Va., to Wilmington, N. C, and was in the battle at Whitehall near K'nston in December, 1862. It was in Gen. D. H. HHPs . expedition In April, 1863 against Washington. N. C. In May 1863 it was sent to Va. and assigned to Pettigrew's brigade and as such had a share in the Immor tal charge on the enemy's lines on the 3rd day at Gettysburg. Gen. Pet tigrew was killed at Falling Waters or. the retreat and It then became Kirkland's brigade and afterwards McRae's. As part of that brigade, tie Perquimans Co. in this regiment vas at Bristow Station in Oct. 1863 when by a blunder of Gen. A. P. Hill that brigade and Cooke's (in which were the Perquimans company in the 27th regiment) attacked Warren's uCJ'l'8 ly'nS behind a railroad em banknlflnt, and were repulsed with terrible loss. It- Is said that Gen, A. P. Hi!! was Intoxicated. This was but one of the many instances dur ing the war in which brave men were slaughtered on account of the drunk- ment was organized with Montford eimess of the commanding officers.

Benbury of Chowan. But Lieuten ants John A. Morgan and A. R. Stamer were from Perquimans. The lut N. C. regiment to which it be- j longed was in the "7 Days' Fight" around Richmond in June and July 1S62 and suffered terrific loss. Both C;:pt. Skinner who had become Ma jor of the regiment and Capt. John, A. Benbury were killed. This regi ment to which the Perquimans Co. belonged was in the first Maryland Campaign and was heavily engaged at Boonesboro, Maryland, Sept. 14, and again in Sharpsburg in one of the greatest battles of the war) Sept. 17th, 1862 when General Lee, with 30,000 r.en and with his back to the river held back McClellan with 95,000 men. This has been called the "Soldiers' Battle'' for there was no room for maneuvering. It was a square up, give, and take fight. In that battle the 1st fi. C. regiment was part of the troops Which under D. H. Hill held the famous peach orchard with men five feet apart. Just to their left was the 27th N. C- regiment, containing another . Perquimans county compa ny, at the Dunkard church, and im mediately to their left was the 35th N. C. regiment commanded by Col. (afterwards TJ. S Senator) M. W. Ransom, of which regiment I was ai: that time Adjutant, so that I was a close neighbor of the Perquimans men and with my own eyes saw the gallantry of the commands to which they belonged. The Perquimans Co. in the 1st N. C. regiment was with us at First Fredericksburg in December . 1862 when we drove back Burnside. It was at Chancellorsville and in that famous flank march when we put to flight Howard's corps and would have cut off Hooker's army from United States ford and have captured that army and probably ended the war, buf for the accidental fall of Stone wall Jackson who was shot by mis taTTe Ly our own' men. ..This Perquimans Co. was in its regiment In the Pennsylvania cam paign and as usual Buffered heavily, in the great battle Of Gettysburg. When Grant opened the tight on the 4th of May, 1864, this company with its regiment was at the front in the Wilderness campaign am) at Spotts ylvania. On that terrible day of the "Bloody Angle.' May 12th, 1864 the greater part of this regiment and of the 3rd N. C. were captured. These regiments at that time belonged to George H. Stuarts brigade. The few that' were left were assigned to Cox's brigade and as such fought in the battles when we were facing Grant down to the James. They made part of the corps which were detached under Early- and marching tfp the valley of Va." crossed the Po tomac and on A'iig. 11th, 1864 were I-i sight of the dome of the Capitol at Washington. Returning to the army around Petersburg they served in the trenches In front of that doom ed city and when our lines were brok en on April 2nd, 1865, they were In the long retreat to Appomatox where they formed a part of the column in Cox's brigade, Grimes' division, which made the last charge of that historic army. Thus Perquimans coon&r-waa in the 1st N. C regi ment jand was In the last active hos tilities of Lee's array. Cen. Lee's rehiark when he arrived on the battlefield was sufficiently curt. He said, "Gen. Hill there is nothing left to do but to bury your unfortunate dead." The 11th regiment, with the Pe. (luimans company, was at Mine Run or. Dec. 2nd, 1863, which soldiers will remember as the coldest weath er of the war. It was with Lee on May 4th, 18G4. when Grant opened his fiht in the Wilderness and at Spottsylvania and alF the way down to Richmond. It was in the trenches around Petersburg. It was in the splendid fight at Reim's Station Aupr. 2i-. 18fi4, which is known as the "North Carolina Victory" when the three N. C. brigades of Cooke, Mc Rae, and Lane, drove Hancock's corps, out of his breastwords, captur ing 2,000 prisoners and 9 pieces of artillery. Gen. Lee telegraphed his congratulations to Gov. Vance on ac count of the Magnificent fighting of the N. C. troops oh that day. The 11th N. C. was in the trenches around Petersburg during the weary months of that fall and winter until our lines were broken on ApriL2nd, 1865. They were in the long retreat to Appoma tox which has - been appropriately called the Funeral March 'of the Confederacy and laid down their arms only when that historic army passed into history, April 9, 1865. The next company from this coun ty was a part of company L. 17th N C. regiment commanded by Capt. Lucious J. Johnson and after his piomotion to Major, by Capt. Thomas H. Gilliam of Perquimans. This com pany was captured at Hatteras in August, 1861 and was sent North. After being paroled and exchanged the regiment was placed in Martin's brigade. It served in Eastern North Carolina till the campaign of 1864 opened when it was sent to Virginia and was at the oreftt- battle of Second Cold Harbor June 3rd, 1864. It was h the battles around Petersburg and in the trenches till December, 1864 when Hoke's Division to which this brigade belonged was sent to Wil mington. It was at the battle of' Southwest Creek near Kinston, Mar. 8th, 1865, when we attacked Scho- field's army which was coming up from New Bern and captured 2,000 men. They were "also in the great three days' battle at Bentonville, March 19th, 20th and 21st, 1865. th these two battles, I was in the same division, and saw them show their splendid qualities under fife. We were in the long retreat together un der Joseph E. Johnson and were pa roled near High Point, on May 2nd, 1865, nearly three weeks after Lee's surrender. The next company from the coun ty was a full, company. F. 27th N. C regiment This regiment was in the battle at New Bern March 14th, 1862. In May. 1862, the regiment was assigned to J. C. Walker's bri gade but afterwards Col. Jno. R. Cooke of this regiment was promot ed to Brigadier General . and com manded the brigade till the surren der. The brigade was not actively engaged in the "7 Days Fighf? around Richmond, but it and Ransom's bri gade were formed into a small divis ion and as such they were in the first Maryland campaign and at Sharps burg where it fought at the Dnn krd church immediately on the rlgnt of Ransom's brigade, and at first (Continued on page Three) i Open Saturday Nights 6:00 TO 8:00 P.
