Snlwcril for The Lenoir News.
We were moved from place to
place all the time exposed to the
sheila of the. Federal Batteries, un
til near nightfall. About ' this
time we were v crossing a low
meadow iu line of battle when we
came to a branch and across the
branch was a piece of woods cover
ed with a thick undergrowth of
bushes. On account of the nature
of the ground we were detained at
this branch. About this time we
heard troops marching just across
the branch from us but it was such
a thicket we could not see them,
our Colonel called to them to know
who they were. The Federal Offi
cer, as it proved to be, replied iu
this way: Who are you! Col.
Gray replied this is the L'L'nd N.
C. The Federal Officer replied
back, this is the 4th Michigan. At
once we opened lire on them so
quickly that they did not return
the fire, but took to heals. We
know we wounded some of them if
we did not kill them as we could
hear them groaning as they left.
We immediately fell back without
knowing any of the effects of our
shots. The next morning we were
moved down to our right to Elli
sons Mills, where the evening be
fore had been a very hard fought
battle along the bank of the creek
the Confederate dead were very
thick as the Confederates had no
protection, and the Federal were
protected by their rifle pits up on
the side of the hill, but when our
men got into the creek, they
abandoned their rifle pits and fell
back to Cool Harbor. We imme
diately followed after them, pass
ing where their camps had been
and where they had set fire to vast
quantities of stores of all kinds and
they were destroyed. We pushed
on to Cool Harbor to find they had
prepared themselves for another
stand. We were first lined up in a
large wheat field, where the wheat
was just ripening, and we could
see and hear their artillery some
one aud one-half miles off. While
we were here there was some artil
lery and picket firing. Later in
the evening we were moved out to
the left in a piece of woods where
they said ouHines had been driven
back several times that evening.
We were formed into line of battle
and were crossing a road when a
woman very much frightened ran
down the road, bare headed with
her hair down and flying back. As
we advanced we met troops coining
back very much in disorder. We
kept on advancing until we crossed
very small branch. The battle
oj Cold Harbor or sometimes called
(i. lines Mill was fought the '27th

day. was one killed on the field,

there Pickets began firing and
then were ordered to charge. One
gave the Rebel yell and about the
same time we heard the Federals
give a yell. It was only a short
distance up the hill where we were
to the top of the hill, and when we
reached there we were close togeth
er. Each side was doing the best
with their guns and while thus en
gaged the writer received a shot in
his right arm. Though the wound
was not serious i t was some

him from re-joining his company

time. The next dav we moved on
to Malvern Hill, where we were
under shell, but had no one hurt
