This historic old. pile brought the munificent sum of $400, the highest bidder being Mr. A. Hatcher Webb. Although not so stated, it is generally believed that Mr. Webb made the pur chase as the agent; of the con tractors who are to build the new court house.

I would like very- much for some one to write a history of . the war of the 60'$. Of course all the events are deeply impressed on my mind, but I could not supply words to write a complete his tory;u would be very mucb de lighted - to pick up a book and read the daring adventures; of our brave heroes? ; s I will try and giYCA few dots of our adventures after I enlist ed. I am a native of Gaston county, ' N. C, and was born Auc. 16. 1840 near Crowders Mountain. . I voluntarily enlist ed on May 20, 1862with Co. H. 49th Regt. of North Carolina under Capt. C. Q. Petty, Our captain and many others of our com nan v havrf passed over the river to rest under the shade of the - trees. I will not mention the run at City Point, Jor I know the boys will not want to read about it. After I enlisted, we first .went to Goldsboro, where we drilled for jome time. We went from there to Richmond to prepare lor tne aeven nnes fight. We skirmished around there and went from Richmond to Malvern. Hill, where our loss was great. I can't remember the number of men killed and wounded. We then came back to . Drewry's Bluff and stopped there for -some time and drilled. We were ordered from urewrt's Bluff back to Petersburg and then back to Richmond. - Then we were marched into the valley of Virginia. .We marched al most day and night and endured many hardships. We captured Harper's Ferry, which was good in our behalf, for the Yanks were well supplied. We crossed the Potomac river into Maryland and fought all day in the battle of Sharosburg. We lost a lot of our men and' our color bearer was killed. My father was also wounded on that battlefield. That niebt we crossed the Po totnac river and marched up and down the river banks for three davs and nights. I lost one of mv shoes in the quick sand. We certainly; endured hardships on that march.. We left Martins burg and went to Winchester and there we stayed for,, some time. We marched from there to . Fredericksburg, and all through the valleys of . Virginia. I don't remember every point that we passed. We landed at Fredericksburg sometime in the, winter for the fight. I don't re member the date. We lay on the field at Fredericksburg and fought' for three days and niffhts on the snow, with out any nre Our rations were light. We left Fredericksburg and marched to Richmond, mounted the train and went to Wilmington. N. C. We marched down on tba ea coast and stayed around there for some time. There f was no fightine on the coast at that time. We then went to war saw where we stayed awhile and went from there to Kinston and went into winter quarters for awhile. We left ; K-inston and went to Weldon ' and there we stayed in winter quarters. We were ordered from Weldon east, and were in" the eastern part of North Carolina and Virginia, some days in one State, some days in another.; We. were In several skirmishes and captured the Yankees at South Mills. We captured their whole possessions, including the government mills. Then we left South. Mills and came back across the dismal swamp. ' Then we were ordered from there to Suffolk, Va.,, to mm n v 1.- ' Clit negroes. AVe captured the town, but took'no prisoners, for we " were' not allowed to. .We just put them out of the way as we came to them. We burnt 27 neproes in one house. The ne groes were mistreating the white women and children. We were then ordered . backto Weldon and there 'we stayed for some time and rested up. Then the campaign , opened up in full ai Petersburg.. Prom Petersburg we went to Drewry's Bluff, where we fought, day in and day out Our big fight came 6ff at Drew ry's Bluff on May 16, ' '64;: On May 14th I fought on picket al day snd shot 125 rounds. . I had four men shot down at my side one of them my Lieutenant. was the only one tbaf got back out of my corps that was not killed ' or wounded. On that night I was ent back , to the wagon yards to rest up, ; I was ordered ; to rest that night and the next : day. On the . morning of May 15, 1 got up, ate ray breakfast and felt so much re freshed ; that I crawled on ;. my bands and knees '"back to my company, ine tnemy were so close I would havf been a living target if X had .been walking. thought I would tryljrt ; safe plan.

The Yanks were so close I could not . walk, I had to crawl. I stumbled and made a noise aud i could near tne click, click, of the Yanks guns. but I braved my way. through in search : of wounded. I "carried one man back to the ambulance corps that night." On May 16th we were ordered to charge a bat tery, which we did with success. We lost 33 men. 4 killed and 29 wounded, r In that charge I had the straps-of my cartridge . box, haver-sack and ; canteen cut off me with a bomb shell, 27 bullet holes shot through my blanket and never got a. .scratch on my bolv- We lost all our color bfcdrers that day. They called for volunteers to fill their places. I graciously complied I would not be color sergeant, but I was color guard until I was wounded. We were in one - skirmish after another from that day on. I was wounded Dec. 17th and - had to leave them for the hospital, nev er got. any better, and bad to -go home. I was wounded tn my right side,- one rib broken - and one split by a bullet. I went in an old . gentleman's . place on guard.
