C., just a tonth before t,he surrender of Lee't. rmy. It .is one of the most notable icidents of the war, and Gen. Butler vs rendered a good service in recount ig the facts for the pr( sont genera on : Our cavalry consisted of Wheeler's nd my own division, under the con iand of Gen. Wade Hamptotl. --On the )tb of ' March our column, on the itarch, was in about one day's na"c f 1"ayettevillc, N. C. My old brigade, t th-at Linie command by ;ei. 1. I aw, of this State, was in front, 'oung's brigade, commanded by Col. ... Wright, next, with Wnooler )lliowing. Humphreys's Fquadron, of the 6th outh Carolina cavalry, Law's.brigade, iustituted the advance guard. By 1o ru1e usually observed on such ce Lisions, Young's (Wright's) brigade uild have taken the load the next fty. You are no doubt aware that hile marching in the neighborhod f the enemy. advanec and rear guards re thrown out welb to tbe front, and mr, with active, vigilant scouts and idette s operating on the ti.nks, front nd rear. it rained in torrents the -hole day of the lW h of March. She ian's army was to the south and ea-t i our line of march, ilpatrick's avalry covering his left tlauk. About ightfahl IIumphreys halted his squad on at the intersaction of a ree.l lead ne fromt the south. Ona inquiriuig of Capt. 'lfHmphre"ys he causei of his hal, he informed me hat the r'oad be had intersected had ecentiy been travelled by a heav3 5)umn) LI(f miounrted troops. Oin e-xauri intion0 1 found this'to be trite, andl con uded wre had run into K ilpatrick'e rack.

Whcolor and myself, it was declded to yttack Kilpatrick the next morning at Jaylight. In order to do so more ad vantagoously, the whole column moved orward from whore we captured the dotauhmenot, in columns of fours, cau .louely and quietly, about four miles, whore we halted and dismounted on the roadside without unsaddling and .vithout fires. The night was dark vith a cold, drizzling rain. I can never forget that night as we lay with ,at sholtor or food for man or horses, each man with his bridle on his arm. I threw out some distance .in our (ront, on each side of thl road, a line of dismounted skirmishers. They had ,carcely dope'yed wben one of Kiluat rick' lieutenants walked or rode into the line. Ie was brought to my head quarters, a pine log on the roadside. and on beitg interrogated as to why be was there at that time of the night, he replied that he had b:en sent back to look for a b.'oken down wagon, and had walked unawarEs into our picket 'ines. He was not in:-ined to be com municative, but I learned enough to enable me to locate Kilpatrick's camp pretty accurately. On the strength of this information we reconnoited his camp about midnight., riding up almost to his camp iires. Not a picket wa posted, nor other precaution taken as far as we could discover, to protect his cattip against surprise. My conclusion At, the tilm was, (which was confirmed by Gen. Kilpatrick in a conversation I had with him since the war) that the "uetachment of the 5th Kentucky wa expected to perform that duty, and in stead they had been made prisoners of war without firing a shot and without uis know ledge. So you see the im portant bearing of their capture. Kilpatrick had moved around the head of the swamp, and bivouacked with the swamp behind him, and the order of the attack was arranged as follows : bly division, Wright's brigade now being in front., was to be closild up in column of regiments before daylight, so as to enable Wheeler, stretched back the full length of his large divi sion in columns of fours, to close up l was to follow up the line of march taken up by Kilpatrick, move around the head of the swamp, and enter hib camrnp from the left. Wheeler was to turn to the right from about the point where the head of my column was located, and move to the right through the open pine woods and come from the rear, as nearly simultaneously wit.b my attack as possible. Accord ingly, when I learned that Wheeler had turned off t'o the right, I moved forward up the ro:td, Meanwhile :I had directed Col. Wright to select a squadron, whose commander ho could vouch for, and order him to report for instruction. My recollection is that he selected Capt. Bostick, of tho Cobb Legion (and if I am in error in this I trust that some survivor of that splendid gallant regiment will correct me.) My instructions were that the lead ing -quadron should rush into the camp, surround the house where Kit patrick made his headquarters and remain there, if postt>me, until we could occupy the camp, and make Kil patrick a prisoner. I further in ntructed Col. Wright to follow up the 1 admuig -quadron by throwing a regi ment at a time limta the camp ; that I would have Law's br'igade so posted as to go to the rescue at the proper time. Wright moved promply, followed by fI w in a trot ; just before the dawn of .ay he charged pell-melI into the camp, and as [-turned the head of the swamnp at the head of Law's brigade, we we ro greed with a scene of the wiloest con fussion. Alquau of about, 130 Con federates came rushing frant. ually towards us, and at first we sup posed or feared that wrignt had been rep)ulsed, and yet could not understand 1ow that could be,- ats his rear regi ment h4~d left us not more than two minutes. OuIt minds were soon 're ,ieved on that score, as the Con fed erates turned' out,-t-> be prisoners who tore aw4ay. from. their guards when Wrigh rt ied in, and were making good hUrescape. Tihe poor fello.ws repo(rte~d theyWere-half starved on the march with K lpat~rick, and naturalIly eolued -in t14eir; deliverance.. -Our men aroused the,sleoping. Federals and captured four hun'dred and seventy live. At this -point let me relate what Geon. JkGlpatrik- said of this event in a conversar,ion with me after. the war. Etoldl him we had riddoL up to his .aiiny lires the night before; without ingir ch'allenge'd by his picket or oven a-camp guard, and expressed surprise thua.t, he had not taken this natural pre cautior ; that he paid a very poor com fpl - ment to our vigIlance and enterpriee, which I thought was scarcely .justified by past experience.

Speu. cer, on the other hargd, denied thi, and fixed the responsibility on' Kil patrick. Of course, I coul not settle that controversy and left it where I found it. Gn. Kilpatrick further said that he walked out about daylight that worn lag, as was his custom, to look after his horses. lie heard our yell as we broke into his camp, and said to him. self, "by God, here is a major general' commission, earned after four years' bard fighting, gone up in a surprise;" that about that time a man rushed up Jj o lm and said: "Whre is Gen.' Kilpatriek ?" and that he replied " aThere he oes on that bl&ck bors :, (as one 'of his men was est:aning upon a black horse:) tht he, K:patriok, mounted in dishabille and escaped. The Confederate who accostd hi left him and pursued the man on the . black horse, and thus by a ruee "he. saved his bacon." I have never ascertained who ti man was, but my theory is thdt in his -- anxiety to take Kilpatriok prieoner he . was naturally misled and dropped the substance to pursue the shadow "on a olack horse." Be that as it may,.". .
