Oradually tbe man who fought In the laU war for Coetlliatlonal rigbu and Moutbam Independence are drop ping from tbe rank* of the living, liafora many years all will be gone, acd unless tome effort la wuo made much of the history of tbe Confederacy will perlab tritb them. Already much of It can never be raoovvred It l» in tbe bop* of raeculoc tome of it from oblivion that I have complied from my old Company roll* "nd obtained from attmbmt of my Company or tiielr fami lies tbe following information concern loi b* mco.

Although North Ckroilne can oow prove that the fa rn It bed more men than aoy other Southern eute (about one fourth i f one-Aftb of tbe entire Confederate Army) darlog the Civil War, yet our renord would bo oven brighter than It ta if our roll* were ootnpleu.
