Early in ' May, 1864. the North Caro ; Una Cavalry Brigade, consistiDZ of 'three regiments, yiz: the First, com tnauded by Col Cliek. the Secoud, by ' Col.

Gen. James B. Gordon, and was attached' to Hampton's Division. A. detachment of SOU men from the First ' Regiment, under. Major Cowles, had been engaged in picketing tne lower fords of the I&tpidan, and ren- - dsred efflcient service in narassing toe enemy, and had captured in all about 4(X prisoners. In May Gen. Hampton broke camp and pat himself iu motion to join Gen. B. E. Lee. On this march he met a - lunge body of the enemy's cavalry, near White HalL and drove them back. The Second and Fifth Regiments took the mt active part in this hsht. The Con federate loss was considerable.es pcially in. the Fifth Regiment, which had 18 men killed and wouuded. The North Carolina Brigade was now transferred to Major General W. U. jr. lAMs e Division, and reported to him on tne Btn ox tne same montn. On the Oth of May, Sheridan set out on nts raid upon mcnmono. ; uen. Stuart followed in pursuit. Two di visions of Confederate Cavalry Fits .Liee and lxmax moved on sneridan s fl ink. while Gordon, with the North Carolina Brigade, pressed his rear. On the morning of the 11th. Gen. Gordon " overtook the raiders at Goodall's Tav ern, attacked and completely routed a full brigade of the enemy's cavalry, with the Firat and Fifth Regiments. In the afternoon of the same day the First and Second Regiments attacked the ' enemr. The enemy lost heavily in killed woanded and prisoners. Our loss was also heavy, including Colonel Cheek, wounded, and AdjatanV Worth, i or tne second, killed. . Meanwhile General Stuart struck the . enemy's advance at Yellow Tavern,and in the conflict fell mortally wounded. -The Tirzinians were -repulsed. Sbert ' dan pursued his march towards Rioh mond; Gordon kept up a hot porsoit. and strain. attack od the main body on the 12th. at'Brook'ctrurch.only one mile fruui the outer defences of Richmond. Gea. Gordon, finding the enemy a posi tion too strong for the Tores under bis command, diaaalcbed his aide. IJeuC K-irr Craigi to propose to the officer- in , cnarge ot rue city defences in his front tnat a combined attack be made on tns enemy's rl4nk. . But before his aide re turned. General "Gordon received the wound which terminated his brilliant - career six days afterwards. All thought ' of attack was now abandoned. The enemy forced a passeee of the Chicka homiuy at the Meadow Bridges, and I thus succeeded 4a making good their escape. . The " command of the brigade now oevoived upon uoi. Anarews. a few days afterwards 225 picked officers and men were selected f rom the brigade and placed under command of Major McNeill, of the Fifth Regiment, to take part In the expedition against Ken non a - Landing, on the James river. Lieut. ' Paul B. Means, iu his spirited -sketches." say r -This attack was, in its result, m sisnal laiiure: witn neavy . loss in killed and wounded from the North Carolina detail, especially. But while it was a failure, this attack evinced, on the part of the assailants. some of the most desperate and heroic - fighting ever seen in war.- The charge, - - on foot, was made across an open field covered with abattis, against breast V works of the very heaviest kind, man ned with thousands of troops.who pour ed a continuous and deadly fire upon that little body of "picked teen" strug gling to effect an impossibility, while - the heavy field pieces of the works, and the great guns of the gunboats, sent shell and schrapnell. grape and canister crashing tnroogn our ranks, sun mat ' picked detail went on until, within thirty steps ot- those teriible works, built in the form of a semicircle, with - each end resting on . the river, we saw that they were protected, by an impas sable canal filled with flowing water ' from the James. Then began our re retreat, more terrible than the charge.' 2 On ths 26th of May the Third North Carolina Cavalry arrived and joined the brigade. The command now ' fell to Col. John A. Baker,of that regiment, who was highest in rank. The brigade was fighting nearly every day, at this . time, for more than a weak. On the 27th; CoL Baker moved to meet the advance ' of Grant, who had crossed the Pam an ker near Hanorer Tavern. The Con federates were forced .to retire with, a . loss of twenty or thirty, chiefly from the Third Regiment,' which acted with Esat gallantry, under the command of eut. CoL WaddelL On the 29th the brigade participated In the bloody ac tion at Haw's Shop.bot were not heavily engaged. . - . On the 80th Brig.- Gen. Toung, of Georgia, was assigned to the temporary command of the brigade. .; On the 31st the brigade took part-In the engage- - ment at Hanorer Court House, where the enemy was at first repulsed, but . whofterwardsreceiringlnforcements, drove back the Confederates in disorder and eonf nsion. On the first of June the First and Second Regiments succes sively fought the enemy's advance. About 2 p. m. on the same day the brig ade joined the main body of cavalry nndsr Hampton at Ashland, where a desperate conflict took place, in which the Confederate Cavalry swept the enemy's lines and works for more than a mile, capturing many prisoners and m large number of horses." The North' Carolina Brigaie acted with great gal- . Ian try in this action, and suffered se verely, losing 73 fn killed and wounded, including Geo. Toung, who was badly woanded In the arm. This threw the command a second time' on Col. Biker. ' On the 3rd of June Gen. HxrDton fought the second battle of Haw's Laop. CoL Baker handled his oommaoj' with such skill, and the Second and Fifth Regiments charged with eueh spirit as to elicit high encomiums .froni Gessv II&"toa fad Lea. - A Special Cosrt for the DraanuUrs.
