Gen. Hagood's Of Battle of Drury's Blt Were Riddled (From The Southen Headquarters Hago3d's Brigade, S. C. Volunteers, May 22, 1864. Capt. Adams, 'Acting Adjutant-Gen eral-Captain: i am directed to sub mit a report of the part taken by my brigade in the battle 3f Drewry's Bluff, of the 16th instant. My command occupied the left nf our second or intermediate line, em bracing Fort Stephens, and w-ith its right on the turnpike. The enemy occupied our exterior line of breast works, which had been previously abandoned, supported by a battery of live pieces where the turnpike crosses -these works, with skirmishes well thrown out towards us. They had also constructed a second line of works in rear of this, at somle two- hundred yards distance, and had entangled the abattis between the two lines with wire. Shortly after Gen. Ransom's Divi sion had engaged the enemy on my left, and while his advance was still paralleled to my line, I was ordered to advance and drive the enemy from our outer line of works. This was happily accomplished under cover of the early daylight without se;ious loss-the brigade capturing the bat tery of five pieces before referred to and.several prisoners. My men now occupied this outer line, a desultory exchange of shots going on between ij: and the enemy's second line of works. Three companies of the Twenty-fifth Regiment on my extreme right were also at this time. thrown back perpen dicularly to my front, to assist by a :flank fire Johnson's Brigade, which was driving the enemy from the por tion of the outer line on my right. Gen. Ransom's division had now, in accordance with the plan of battle, advanced some three hundred yards in front of my left, and was pivotitg upon its right to sweep the enemy by a flank at-tack from the woods and works in front of our center. At this time I was ordered by the division commander to change front, forward to the right and form line of battle -parallel to the turnpike. In accom plishing this niy left drove the enemy from that portion of their second line at works which it struck, and the whole movement was much impeded by the abattis and wire entanglements referred to. I 'now held the turiapike with my !Sne at right angles to the * eneral line of battle. Gen. Ransom's division advancing in echelon full eight hundred yards upon and in rear of my left, the enemy firing obliquely from my rear from the woods between Gen. Rnsom and myself, and I was immediately attacked by a heavy force to my front. The position was trbstinately held in the hope that the * advance of the di'vislon on my left and the brigade on my right would .relieve -me. Seeing, -however, that the -brigade was suffering severely, and the regiment on the left having, -under orders of the colonel. (properly given'-under the circumstances), he gun tdretire from the heavy pressure of the enemy upon the flank, I directed the resumption of our former position behind our outer line of works. The enemy almost,.immediately retreated from my immediate front. Subsequently my brigade -was put in position to protect the right flank of -- the dki'sion from an apprehended at tack which did not occur, and Col. Gaillard's regiment (Twenty-Seventh) was detached to assist Gen. Ransom. .further .advance. down the general line of battle. The brigade generally behaved with a steadiness and gallantry that wa extremely gratifying. Col. Gantt, Col. Gaillard, Lieut-Col. Nelson, Ma-. jor Glover and Capt. Wilds, command ing regiments, discharged their duty with marked ability. Ma.ior Rion, of .the Seventh South Carolina Battalion, and Capt. Brooks, of the same, behaved with conspicuous gallantry, continu ing with their commands, the former . throughout the day and the latter un til I ordered him to the rear after be had received three severe wounds. The severity of the fire of the enemy is illustrated by the fact that fifty seven bullet mar-ks were found upon the flag of the Seventh Battalion South Carolina Volunteers after the fight, and in one of its -companies there were sixty-five casualties, of which nineteen were killed outright. The general list of casualties ap pended will show that the losses of this battalion were scarcely excep tianal. My staff, Capt, Molony and Lients. Mazyck and Martin, behaved with great gallantry and marked efficiency. They were all dismounted by the en emy's fire during the fight, Capt. Mo lony having a second horse, which he obtained during the .day, killed. I also desire to mention ?or merit orious conduct coming under my im mediate observation the names of Pri - vate L. K. Will.iams, of the Twenty seventh. - The casualties of the brigade were Official Report if, in Which the Colors With Bullets. P. His+orical Papers.) 433. Its field return of the preceding day was 2,235. I append a list of names mentioned for gallantry by regimental commai ders, many of which came also under my observation. A number of prisoners were captur ed by the brigade, but as they were hu:ried immediately to the rear, I can only estimate the number loosely -at 300, including several officers. The battery captured consisted of three Napoleo-s and two twenty pounder Parrotts, fully equipped, and i was turned over to Col. Waddy With a request that it be assigned to Capt. Owens, of the Washington Artillery, whose fire materially assisted in its capture.

THE SOUTHERN GIRL. 0, yes' I am a Southern girl, I glory in the name; I boast o2 it with greater pride Than any wealth or fame. I envy not the Northern girl, Her robes of beauty rare, Though diamonds deck her snowy neck And pearls bestud her hair. 1y~ homespun dress is plain, I kniow, My h.at's palmetto, too, But yet it shows what Southern girls For Southern rights will do.. WV~e send our sweethearts to the war, But, girls, ne'er you mind; The soldier lad will ne'er forget. The girl he left behind. The Northern goods are out of date, And since old Abe's blockade We Southern girls can be content With goods that's Southern made. We send the bravest of our band Tbatewith the foe. And we will lend a helping hand To the.South, you know. The soldier lad's the lad for me, A brave heart I adore; And when the Sunny South is .free IAnd fighting is no more, I choose me then a lover brave, From out that gallant band; The soldier lad I love the best Shall' have my heart and hand. The Southern land's a glorious land, And has a glorious cause; Then cheer three cheers for Southern rights, And for the Southern boys. We scorn to wear a bit of silk, A bit of Northern lace; But make our homespun d:resses up And wear them' with a grace. And now, young men, a word to you, If you would win the fair; Go to the field where duty calls And your lady !there: Remember that our sweetest smiles Are for the true and brave, And that our hearts are all for those That fill the soldiers' grave. GnPhlSheridan was at one time askedwhatincident in his life caus ed im he ost muemnt "Well," he said, "I always laugh when I think of the Irishman and the army mule. I was riding down the line one day when I saw an Irishman on an army mule that was kicking rather freely. The mule finally got his foot caught in the stirrup, when in the excitement Pat remarked: "Well, if you're goin' to get on I be gittin' off.'
