Halford occurred Wednesday even ing al 7 o’clock in Augusta, after an III- m as of 14 months. Mr. Halford was 21 yearn of age and was a son Of the late Mr. and Mrs Richard C Halford, of Barnwell. A few year* ago he went West In seurch of health and while he teemed to improve for a few months, he finally grew worse Ilia brother, Mr Daniel Halford, of Augusta, went to FI I’sao, Texas, some two weeks ago and brought him home, death claiming him the day alter his return. Mr Hal ford Is survived by two brothers, Messrs W. C, and Daniel Halford, both uf Augusta. The remains were brought to Harn- Thursday morning and intern din the Hiluam Churchyard, the fuuerel sen 'being conducted hy the Key. S. W. Henry, pastor of the Hum well Metho dist Church. Immediately following the fall of Fort Sumter, Wade Hampton received hiscommiaaion aa colonel from the Confederate Government with instruc tions to organize a legion consulting of cavalry^ infantry and artillery. It waa to act aa an inde pendent command and waa mustered into service as the Hampton Legion taking the name of its commanding 'officer. The Hampton legion began ita career in the Battle of Manaasas. July 21, IHtil. Although in experienced and untrained in methods of war fare, yet aa the record ahows all along, it was fearless of panic and unconscious of defeat, fight ing on and on until reinforcements turned the tide of battle into a brilliant victory for the Southern arms. The loss in numbers was not very large, but, in the death of Lieut. Col. John son, who fell early in the day, the I.cgion met with a sad Ions. Brave and gifted, he was loved and honored hy his men In the battle of Seven Pines, the legion did gallant service, but lost heavily. It was then marched to the north to join Stonewall Jackson and with him was en gaged m the Seven Days’ Fight. Afterwards, being attached to I^ngstreet's corps, it took part in the Second Battle of Manassas, Aug. 31, 18H2. The Legion’s part in the battle was very con spicuous and eventful. It swept three lines of the enemy from ita front, capturing three stands of colors and a band of artillery. So completely did it demolish Duryea's Zouaves that they were never reorganized The Battle of Sharpaburg was a drawn battle in which the Legion lost heavily and the color bearers were killed in quick succession; but the flag was rescued and borne out of the fight by Private Marion Walton of Kdgefield. Fearing the loss of the colors under similar circumstances, it was thought best to re turn it to the Slate for safe keeping; but after the war, it was destroyed by fire with the home of Gen. Hampton. The legion afterwards fought under a small buttle-Mu|^ presented hy the ladies of Lieut. Col. Logan's family. As the war progressed and the army became better organized, the Legion was se|wrated. The cavalry and artillery being detached and put into other eotupanies, (he infantry was filled out to the full strength of a regiment. It was reorgan ized Nov. 10, ’02, of companies from every section of the State. Although Hampton had received his promotion us Brig. Gen. and was assigned to cavalry in the Army of Northern Virginia, the Legion still retained its distinctive glume—the Hampton Legion.

Bids are hereby requested from re- ’ sponsible dealers, in accordance with ; j the terms of the Dispensary Law now form the celebrated Second South Carolina Caval ry Regiment and was commanded by that noble soldier, Gen. M. C. Butler. The artillery first un der Capt. Stephen D. Lee followed the rounds of different branches of the Army of Northern Vir ginia, thundering on every prominent battlefield ‘^^^thTaut d^TMa^ffi during the four years of the war, in that time be ing under fire one hundred and forty-three times, and coming out of the struggle covered with laurels and known as Hart's Battery. The Hampton I>»gion proper had a more varied experience of war than any other regi ment from South Carolina. First it was assigned to Whiting’s Brigade; then in (he invincible Hood’s Texas Brigade under the peerless leader Stonewall Jackson, it became familiar with the “foot caval ry” business. In the brigade of the brave and gallant Gen. Jenkins, it learned “hard fighting’’ under the trusted I»ngstreet. When l^*e was away on his campaign in Maryland and Pennsyl vania, the Legion with the rest of Jenkins’ Brig ade was stationed near Richmond as a protection against the Federals. After Ia*e’s return, it re joined the Army ordered with lajngstreet’s corps to reinforce the western army reaching Chtcamiuga in time to participate in the doaing scenes of that hard won battle. The suboequent fighting and camping around Chattanooga was attended with much hardship and suffering. The siege of Knoxville was the next set in th«- program of the war in which the legion took part—made interesting by alternate assaults and sorties. Being withdrawn from the west it was changed into cavalry, and, during the last year of the war, served on the left of l,ee’s army, doing picket duty on the James. Under the leadership of the dashing Gen. M. W. Gary, it saved Richmond many times. The Legion’s four colonels, Hampton, Gary, I<ogan, and Arnold, lived throughout the war. It lost in battle one lieutenant colonel, the lamented Johnson. It furnished the Confederacy two lieutenant generals, Wade Hampton and S. D. I.«e, one major general, M. C. Butler, and three brigadier generals, Gary, Logan anil Connor, and the W. L. I. claims Pettigrew a fourth. The survivors of the Legion are proud of the fact that the three most prominent leaders of the people of the Palmetto State in their deliverance from radicalism in ’7B were Hampton, Butler and Gary. Hampton was twice-elected Governor of the State. Hampton and Butler were South Caro lina’s honored representatives in the senate of the nation for many years. Bv authnrtljf frs« **■*>.
