ollicc, who luis loromc, through
faithful service, a fixture in that position,
having served in the capacity
for all the Governors since '70, and
indeed for a time in 1808 for Governor
Honham.
As the hodv-sorvant of General
Maxcv Grej^ through all his jorvice
'in the w*r up to the time when his
oallant career was terminated by
death, Hose's relations with the Genoral
wore naturally of such a "character
as to brinjr to his personal knowledge
much (.oncTuintr the General's
life in the armr and the exact circumstances
attending his death possessed
by no one else.
This has lonjr been known to inanv
of the friends of the dead hero
who have therefore often found i f. '
tor' amino .to talk with Hose upon tlie
swbj"ct but his reminiscences and
statements have never so fur as
known been published.
To securely preserve this un written
chapter o" the history of one or South
Carol na's most gallant and devoted
son's, a reporter of '/'.7c />'< /isfcr last

bo-l v-servant Ins complete teen.
tions of tlm matter. i 1 e has * r
live memory and speaks positive.,
oven as to exact words m? ' , . corVi\
tain cases and the story w? , .refill!v
.taken down ?s'it foil from iiis lips,
lie holds the memory of hi* departed
master in the greatest reverence, and
at times, as his narrative took him
mentally back to the old scenes and
brought up thoughts of the kindness
he had received, his voice would
choke with emotion and tears of gennine
feeling fill his eyes.
Will Rose's first recollections of
Maxcy Gregg go back to when he
first knew of him as a student at the
South Carolina College, but his first
at intimate 'connection with him was
when, as his servant, and Colonel
Groirir then a member of Governor
Mean's stafT, he accompanied him on
bis various trips with the Governor
to military inspections and encampments
of that time.
\\ hen the war broke out Gregg,
being commissioned as Colonel of
the First South Carolina Volunteers,
went at once to Charleston, where
his command was soon joined by the
Richland Volunteers.
Rose was with them as a musician
and applied for and secured the position
of-body ; servant to Colonel
Gregg. From that time until death
severed the "connection, Rose
was his devoted follower and attendant,
unci his faithfulness was prouerly
appreciated. As an illustration of
General Gregg's high opinion of his
servant the following may he related:
Whilst in camp at Suffolk, Va.,
General Gregg's tent was robbed.
Several oOicers accused Rose of being
the robber and so stated to
Gregg* but the General wouldn't behove
it; laughed at the accusation.
It finally transpired that the robbcrv
bad been perpetrated by one of (Japtain
Shooter's men, in whoso possession
several of the stolen articles
wenn.dund.
Concerning General Gregg's character
and habits as a soldier, his humble
devoted follower pays high tribute,
describing him as an officer beloved
by all his men, over mindful of
their co\n{ivr\ and interested in their
welfare. *' *_ Y> says he often expected
to heaf^v v* General being killed
long lie was, for when at
Centreville and elsewhere, being on
...
the advanced line, it was his constant
custom to leave camp early in the
morjiiffg alono and bo absent some
'nftioy^mtil after daik exploring the
eoutitry in frotu wnd seeking to gain
any information that might bo of
value.
Coming to gie fatal time, around
which naturally the greatest interest
must centre, Rose describes the circumstances
attendant upon General
Gregg's wounding and death as follows:
Tlio day was Saturday, arid the
fighting had been going on since
morning. At about half-past ton
o'clock Hose went towards a brick
Y house where ho was accustomed to
^ get milk. Ho saw a young man

lie feared was dead by that time, liw

Rose at once reported the mows to

the brick house already allude 1 to he
found I )r. I'owell taking o(T lot's ami
arms in the upon air, ami was told by
him that General Greys', badly shot,
was inside.
Rose found his suffering master in
h room on the first floor, lvinjr on a
mattress on the floor.
"Well, William, I'm shot," ho
said as his servant entered, and on
bein^r told the news of it had reached
camp, asked how it trot there. Hater,
ho ordered all his belonuinos brought
where he was, which was (hum, ami

in and saw him. General (J repp also
said lie should die at V) o'clock
that nipht, Init in this he proved mis- j
taken, for lie lingered lnnp after that.
Ahout midnipht lie asked if there
was anv one in the house who knew
where General Stonewall .laekson's
headquarters were. A stout pontleman
in citizen's dress, who was pros-|
ent, said lie did and asked why the
question. General Grepp replied
that lie wanted to see him and accordingly
the General was sent for.
General Grope* cautioned Rose
whojwas beside his lied that if asleep
when General Jackson arrived he
must he awakened, and as it happened
when General Jackson did reach
the place General Grepp was sleepinp.
1 hi was awakened by l?oso
who told him who whs there.
tjeneral Jackson, approaching the
bed, stretched out his hand and said:
"How do you do, General Gregg?"
Taking tho offered hand Gonoral I
Gregg saiii: "Is that yon, General j
Jackson?"
' Yes," was the reply, "how are
you feeling?"
"Feeling as well as a man can feel,
shot as I am," was Gregg's response;
1 and then ad lressing his superior ollit
cer earliestly, ho sai ', "General Jackson,
J sent for vou, knowing that I
/ 7
am compelled to d e, with no nnxi >fv
at dying and having no malice in my
, heart for any one."
To this great Stonewall rejoined,
| "General Gregg, you did exactly as
I ! should hayo done myself."
In reply to a question from Gener|
nl Gregg as to where ho was going.
General .Ire ksor said he was 1<> iking

for provisions for h:s men. Soon af- i

that in case he grew worse his Medical
Director, Dr. Magnire, was loft

silver r.as poured into the mold and

silver at the assay otlico means h,000

way with the whole number of this
3,f)00,000 of trade dollars about
7(H) "melts" were necessary. A re- ;

added, every atom of which is taken

no cloudiness appeals, showing
that no silver remains in solution;1
that has all been precipitated.)
Then a calculation is made as to tho
