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

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.

Brigadier-General Commanding.
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.' ".
wlrSpecial attention called to
our candies, some choice choco
late almonds at only 50 cents a
pound. Just as good as any sold
&lsewhere for 60 cents a pound.
Try us for candies. S. E. Gwin
