On the monument ore engraved these words : "Lieutenant Colonel I>. A. Ledbotter, of Orr's South Carolina Kitlcs. Killed at the sec md batt'o of Manassas, August 29th, 1862," eic. The story of this monument is a tnost unusual and interesting one. Orr's South Carolina Hi ties won the uniau? Uiuiuction of having lost more men in the war for the number ou the rooster than any regiment engaged on either side in the great struggle, the deaths amounting to 32-1 actually ki led in battle. More than this, tho "Harry ]! fspur" sacrificed more men than any oihc State in ratio, which is no less than 2Y p r cent of her entire military j opulati< u as it stood in 1861, while Pennsylvania, which led the North, lost only 7 j er cent ?f hers. Orr's Kitles wss commanded by the celebrated James L. Orr, with Licutenaot Colonel L>. A. Ledbottor second in coounntid. Colonel Ledhetter was a giant, be ng in height 6 feet and 7 inches, and a shin ug mark for Yankee sharpshooters, n fact lie fully appreciated, but reckoned rot when duly called. On the ensanguined field of second Manassas South Carolina gave seven col ?nels, as galllr.nt gentlemen as evor drew the t-woid co tho cause she cherished so fondly. This fact will account in a Urge measure for tho taunt aotno havo dared to cast ai lior that "he furnished so few distinguished geuorn's in the war sho had inaugurated. Tliey forgot the brilliant possibilities who died at tlie beginning of the struggle in this bloody fight At eecond Manassas, Orr'a Kitlcs defended the rai'road cut, which was ."ft newail Jackson's key to the fight, an l i' wis (lu re that Colonel beuoetier ten.
