Orr resigned, having been elect ed to the Confederate States senate. The other field officers were advanc ed in rank and Capt. J. W. Livings ton became major. The command was first under fire at Mechanicsville June 26. 1861, and from that time un til Appomattox It had “a place in the picture near the flashing of the guns.” At Gaines' Mill June 27, 1862, the 1st S.
