GEN. R. H. ANDERSON. Sketch of h:s Military Career. Pepare? by Robt. J Brownfield, and Read Before Dick Anderson Camp U. C. V. COMRADES: In preparing a sketch of Gen. Richard H. Ander? son's military career, I may be permitted to make a few observa? tions, as relevant to the subject,, on the organization of the Con? federate States Army, and the part borne in that army by the Volun? teers from Sumter. The nucleus of the Confederate j States Army, was the appointment to nominal rank, of the graduates of the U. S. Military Academy, who, as their States seceded from | the Union, resigned their Com- j missions in the U. S. Army, and j offered their services to their! native States, or to the Confeder ate States. The several States j seceding soon after the State of South Carolina, had enrolled, as j had this leading State, the arms bearing citizens in Companies and Regiments. At the inception of the war, such of these troops as were ordered to the front, went unattached. As early as March 1861, after the organization of the j Provisional Government of the j Confederate States, when war was impending, officers were appointed j % in P: Army C. S., and ordered to | the front where forts were gari soned by United States Troops, and held in adverse claims against the demands of the Confederate States. They were authorized to appoint a staff and enroll troops in the Provisional Army of the Confederate States. This was carried out in part, and they took command of State troops already at the front, and others ordered out, until after the bombardment of Fort Sumter, and surrender of ^?ajor Anderson. After this period, when the United States government called for seventy-five thousand volunteers to put down the "Rebellion/' in May 1861 ^vo?unte?r State troops were enroll? ed in the Army C. S. for one year, sent to-'the front, and occu? pied strategic points, to meet th? invading enemy. In. the first battles the brigade was the high? est formation.. During 186?, under the five generals appointed by act of Con? gress, in the regular Confederate States Army, the organization of the Provisional Army of the Con Tederate States was perfected by assignment of Brigades to Divis- ? ions, and divisions consolidated I as the right and left wings of an i armv, under command of a rank-1 ing Major General in the P. A. C. j S. In May 1S62 the term of en- : listment of the one year troops expired, and the P. Army C. S.. \ was re-organized for the war. Later in tbis year, the rank of, Lieutenant General was created by j act of Congress, army troops were formed, consisting of -r>>00 men j .divisions under command of a ! Lieut. General. This was the; highest rank tn the Provisional Armv of the Confederate States, i Longstreet was the senior Lieut, j Gen. in the Army of Va., and j Lejonidas_Polk in the Army of the ? West. During 1861 some of the States kept detached companies and ? regiments in the field, and in j camps of instruction. Towards j 1862 they were discharged from i State service, and absorbed in the ' P. A. C. S. The Conscript acts i were in operation after this period. All the population not subject to enrollment in the P." A. C. S. were organized with companies and regiments of State reserves, including the cadets of Military Academies. Towards the end these latter troops were ofien sent to the trout in active service. From South Carolina there \wre in the P. A. C. S.. twenty five Brigadier Generals, and nine Major (Te?erais, three of the latter rose to the rank of Lieut. General, viz ; Anderson, Stephen D. Lee, ? aud Hampton. Besides the above, the Brigadier General in charge Conscript Bureau, the Commissary General, the Surgeon General, and the Chief of Engineers, (General Gilmer?) were from South Caro? lina. Six or seven native South Carolinians, but citizens of other States, attained high rank, Long? street and Hill, I). H.. the highest. Fremont and Hulburt on th?' Federal side are said to hav<? been born and educated in South Caro? lina. Sumter district was weil repre- ; sen ted in the P. A. C. S., in every arm of the service. The highest1 rank attained in ?he line of pro-: motion was that of Colonel, and we now have amongst us as honored veterans. Cols., Bi anding, Stephen Boykin, and Walsh and Graham. The roll of survivors indicates a total enlistment of enough men to have formed a full Regiment or Legion. They marched and fought to the end, under the "Bonny Blue Flag,v under the "Stars and Bars," and "left in battle no blot on ? their' "names Richard Herron Anderson was I born on the 7th October. 1821 ? I near Statesburg, in Sumter dis? trict, South Carolina, where his father, Dr. W. \Y. Andersou, plant? ed and practiced medicine. His early scbool days were passed at Edgehill Academy in that dis? trae. He entered the IT. S. Mili? tar}7 Academy July 1st, 1838, and graduated July 1st, 1882, when he was appointed Brevet 2nd, Lieut. 1st, Dragoons. While at West Point he was universally a favorite having many friends, and no ene? mies. After graduating he was sent first to the cavalry school for practice at Carlisle, Penn., where he remained until 1843, when he was ordered to Little Rock, Ark., on frontier duty. Thence he was stationed at Fort Gibson, and was with the command which marched to Fort Washington, Indian Terri? tory, escorting the Indiau agent to Red River. After his return he remained until 1844, and was I then ordered to Fort Jessup, La., ! In eighteen forty five and forty i six he was with the troops occupy ing Texas. Thence he was ordered j on recruiting service, but was j engaged at the siege of Vera Cruz j in March, 1847. Was in the skir- ! mish at La Hoya, June 20th, and with the army of Gen. Scott which marched on the City of Mixico, being engaged in the battle of Contreras 19th, Aug., and in the skirmish of San Augustine, 20th August, and in the battle of Molino Del Ray. 8th Sept, He was breveted 1st. Lieut, for gallant and meritorious conduct in an affair with the enemy at San Au? gustine, Mexico. Was engaged in the operations proceeding the cap? ture of the City of Mexico, Sept. 12th and 14th. After the Mexican War he was on recruiting service 1849, and then to the cavalry school of practice at Carlisle, Penn. Again on recruiting ser? vice eighteen fifty and eighteen fifty-two. He was then ordered to j Fort Graham, Texas, eighteen fifty-two and fifty-three, thence to Fort McKarett, New Mexico eigh? teen fifty-three and fifty-four, thence to San Antonio, Texas, and back to Fort McKarett eighteen fifty-five. Was sent to Fort Riley, Kansas, eighteen fifty-six, and aided in quelling disturbances there until eighteen fifty-seven. Thence he was again sent as instructing officer to the cavalry school of practice, and in eighteen 'fifty eight was ordered on service conducting recruits to Utah. Was with Utah Expedition. Eighteen fifty-eight and fifty-nine, j and thence was sent to Fort Kar- j ney, Nebraska, eighteen sixty and sixty-one. His letter of resigna? tion from the ?. S. Army is dated ? 16th February, 1861. Most of the j foregoing is from Cullonfs Regis? ter of the West Point Alumni The State of South Carolina had I passed the Ordinance of Secession, j some of her sister ?States had fol- ? lowed, and it was evident thai | Civil War approached. Anderson j deemed it his duty to follow the i fortunes of his native St?te. and j to do her bidding. Accordingly I he tendered his services to Gov. Pickens. and was immediately ap- j pointed Colonel of the 1st Regular! Infantry, State Troops. Ham arc E. Bee was Lieutenant Colonel. ! and John Dunnovant, Major. His j Regiment was posted on Sullivan's ; Island during the bombardment j of Fort Sumter. Shortly after the ? surrender of that Fort, General Beauregard, who had command- j ed the forces, C. S. Army, around j Charleston, was ordered to Vir- j ginia, and Col. Anderson assumed the command. He was appointed Brigadier General July 20, 1861, in the Provincial Army, C. S., and about the 1st Sept. following was ordered to report to General Bragg at Pensacola. His brigade occu- ! pied that town, and the navy yard. On the night of the 8th Oct". 1861, he commanded a detail of 10 men from each company of Brigg's Army, in all about 1,100 men, in an attack on the encampment on Santa Rosa Island. His command embarked at night, made asucces ful landing, burned the camp and many valuable stores, captured Mayor Vogeler and some 20 prison? ers, and returned without material loss. In this affair Anderson's arm was broken. In February 1*62 he received orders to report to Gen. J. E. Johnston, command? ing C. S. forces in Virginia, and was assigned to a brigade composed of the 4th, 5th, 6th and 9th, S. C. Volunteers and Stribling Battery. With this command he accompa? nied the army to Yorktown and its vicinity. When General Johnson retired up thc Peninsular, Ander? son's Brigade relieved Iiis r?-ar guard on the night of the 4th May and occupied the Redouts near Williamsburg. Early in the morn? ing of the ?th of May his pickets were driven in, a bloody engage? ment followed during which Ander? son commanded Longstreet's Di? vision, consisting of the Brigades of Wilcox. Pryor, A. P. Hill and Pickett's and his own. This was the first battle of any consequence in which his command was gaged. The troops SHOD lear to admire the cool, yet daring ? : lantry of their commander, anc : value his distinguished ability a leader-the survivors of his ! brigade retain to this day their miration of him as man and i dier. At the battle, or upon c ; tinning the retreat at the Penin : la, his brother, Capt. McKee ' Anderson,- riding by his side ! cheer his troops when hard pre j ed in the rear, was killed, j Next followed the Battle of S I ven Pines (or Fair Oaks,) He j too. Anderson had a conspicuc j part with his brigade. He fon j back Casey's Division, and gail : possession of his camp, and ceived the congratulations of 1 commander for the admiral handling of his troops. He act in this battle as Division Co j mander. Jenkins, Col. of the Fit ? S. C. commanded tha brigade. ! this battle he gained the soub: quet of "Fighting Dick Andersoi It was observed that when 1 ! eyes, "took on the dark glitter I steel," he was, indeed "fighti Dick Anderson." In this bat? also, he showed, that "on th( own merits, modest men a I dumb," as in the official repoi he allowed his juniors to take * the credit. Soon followed the battles aroui Richmond. At Gains' Mill I won new laurels. Late that afte noon, his Division Commandera proached bim and said, my part this task has not been accomplis! ed, and I have nobody to do with, but yon,'" referring to tl ; hard duty already performed I the Brigade-the reply was, "we General what isityouwant done' and the answer, "the enemy mu oome off that hill before night and his cheerful response-"if ar one brigade in the army can do i mine can," and it was so han* somely done that General Lee, wt was an eye witness congratulate him the next morning-so at Frj zers farm, Anderson commande three brigades, and again did we the part allotted him. At Mal ver Hill his brigade was in re se rv and took no especial part in thc battle. Early in July, 1862 he wa made Major General, and assigr ed to the command of the Divisio formerly known as Hnger's, com posed of the brigades of Mahon* Armistesd, Wright sod Martin Th last was left at Petersburg, Va Wit the of hern he marched towards Mana? sas' and occupied Warrenton Spring.? making a demonstration again sr Pope whilst General Lee with Loucstree pushed through Thoroughfare Gap t relieve Jackson ar Second Manassas Anderson reached that field on th uight of rhe 80rh of August, and tool parr in the battle of the next day VVbei General Lee moved into Maryland, An d croon with McLaws was sen to complete the investment o Harper's Ferry. After the fall o that, place Anderson joined Gen Lee at ?harpsburg, marching all night and in the battle near that, village wa: severely wounded in the thigh, but re fained his command until the emergency had passed, aud then fell, fainting frou loss of blood. Hi? wound healed it time for him to command his Divisiot at Frede: ioksburg, now composed of th? Brigades of Mahone, Wilcox, Wright, Featherstone and Perry. It was posteo on the left of Plauk Koad leading from Fredericksburg. supporting McLaws whose left rested on Marve's Hill. Here his infantry was not materially engaged, but his artillery did good ser? vice. During the winter he remained 1 near Friderickbburg, where two of his i brigades were occupied, one holding j Hank.?' Ford, and the remaining two ' were posted at U. S Ford. With ; these, supported by ooe of the brigades. Wrights, from Fredericksburg, he met : Hooker's advance on Chancellorsville j On the night of Weduesday, 29th i April, I860, Aodersou received a note from General Lee stating that he wish? ed him to go to U. S Ford, and in per sou command his brigades there, taking Wright with bim, and leaving Wilcox at Banks' Ford This was ll o'clock p. tu. General Andersou went at once, and early ou the morning of the 30th, (Thursday) he was entrenching near Tabernacle Church, to which point be was retiring slowly, fighting for every iuch of grouud. After a recunnoisancc, it was thought the whole of Hooker's Army was in front of his three bri? gades. He was asked what he was going to do V he answered, "fight, Gen. Lee says so." This laconic answer was the key to Anderson character. Hu blazed out che pathway to duty aod followed it under all circumstances. The object was to gain time for Jack? son to come up. Anderson delayed Hooker all of Thursday the oOth. OD Friday the 1st of May, by daylight, ; Jackson's troops arrived, by eight or ' nine o'clock his arrangements were : completed and the two commands ! fiercely attacked and drove Hooker back to Chancellorsville The next morning, Saturday the 2d of May, Jackson was directed to turn Hooker's right flauk and attack his rear. Ail , know how handsomely this was done. Andersou held thc center, bis right on the Plank Hoad ; McLaws was on his right, but only Kershaw's Bri I gade of this Division was advanced to i Anderson's support, and to make a j feint in heavy lines of skirmishers, i while Jackson's flank movement was : beiug executed. Anderson received ? thanks from General Lee on the field. rie formed a junction with Jae right and joined him or rather 5 in the attack on Chancellor Jackson was wounded on the ni the 2d. (Saturday).

The action was a brilliant It WHS necessary to dislodge and Sedgewick across the river befo newing the attack on Hooker. E McLaw? and Wilcox had not been to do this, and on Monday the 4 May, General Lee directed Andi to countermarch his: exhausted maud, to take command of e thing and drive Sedgewick the River.

Thus the attack was made until 6 o'clock, p. m. Sedges was beaten at all points. Night h vetted, and the failure of ?orne troop occupy Bank's Ford enabled Sedgei to escape. It w?? stated that Se wick had called his officers toge and told them that he would hav surrender, when a scout reported to that the Ford waa op?n, and he at ni under cover of a very dark night, III a hasty retreat, ?nd in the morn was safely on the other side of the ri' Had the attack been at 4 instead < p m , Bank's Ford would not h been of much use to Sedgewick. Tuesday, May 5th, Anderson and the troops near Fredericksburg w back to Chancellorsville to renew the tack on Hooker, but under cover c heavy storm Tuesday night, he I abandoned bis position and recros the river. While in winter quart? near Frederickburg, before the eve just noted, "P. W.

About t 30th May, 1863. his division was trat ferred to A. P. Hill's corps With he crossed the Potomac and fought Gettysburg, on the 2nd of July. F splendid division charged the Cemete Hill iu conjuuctiou with Longstree advance, and one .-f his brigade Wright's, actually carried the bridg but could not hold it. for want of su port, and the fearful tire of artille concentrated on him With the am of Northern Virginia he recrossed tl P< tomac.

Somehow he managed to gi betweeti the enemy's infantry ao cavalry, and ou the flank ot the re< guard, but there were great ravines u< tween, ano he could not reach theu though they bad no idea of his pros imity. He sent back for bis ar tiller} McIntosh's battalion, to come to him ? a gallop Geberal Hill cou merman tic the order (he happeued to be wit Melutosh at the time)-a second mon peremptory order was sent, and agai Gcueral Hill interfered, and directe McIntosh to go into battery where h was. McIntosh respectfully protested stating that he would be eufiiaded b five batteries, and begged to be allowee to go to General Anderson, and tba the battalion following should take th positiou he then occupied, and then tb? tables would be turned. Hill's aoswe was, Go into battery and open your fin at once. In a very few momeuts Mein tosh had Uve guns disabled, and bac lost 30 odd men aud a like number o horses, and a grand opportunity hac been lost. The enemy could be s3eE cooking, lying down, &c , with arms stacked, but at the first gun they seized their arms and formed behind a rail? road embankment, against which hurled Cook's brigade, just arrived from North Carolina, 8,000 strong, plumb iu front. Cook was beaten back, aud left about 1,000 men on the field, though it was said the position could have been easily turned. Hill endeavored to ex plaiu to Geueral Lee, who simply said, "General, better bury tho poor fellows, and say no more about it. In Decem? ber, 18(3o, Andersou wa9 ordered to the neighborhood of Mine Run to meet Gen. Meade's advance, but Meade retired without an engagement. When Grant advanced to the Wilderness, Ander? son's division did not move to meet him with the rest of the corps, but was left to guard the fords on theliapidan uutil the Confederate Cavalry had reached Ste? vensburg-thus he had no part io the action of May thc 5th, but ou thc morn? ing of the Otb. his command arrived at a most opportune moment and took an actire part in the bloody events of that day. Longstreet was severely wounded aud Andersou was transferred to the command of that corps, leaving his Division under the command of Mahone, and in a few days after he received a : Lieuteriatit Geueial's commission. With this corps he marched to ifpottsyl ?ania to check Grant's movement iu that direction/ He succeeded perfectly and received io an au? tograph letter, General Lee's thanks for the masterly handling of his corps With characteristic modesty, this nobie soldier published to hi* corps, the clause , relating to its gall ?nt conduct and re? frained from referring to that portion which named bis own distinguished ser? vices. He commanded Longstreet's ' corps in rho numerous and bloody bat? tles of the Summer and Autumn of j 1864, attending Grant's advance on Petersburg. He brought on the baffle the first day at Cold Harbor and t be 2d day greatly distinguished himself. Early in the winter of 1864, Long? street returned to duty and Anderson relieved General Beauregard in coan maud of his corps, consisting of Hoke'? aud B. li. Johnson's Division. Pick eft's was afterwards added, and occu? pied the Hues im mediately in front of Petersburg uutil February 1865, wheo he was relieved by Gordon and moved to General Lee's right flank near j Hatcher'? Run. When Gen. Grant pierced the lines at Petersburg, G**ne- j rai Anderson's left rested ou the Hun. i He struck Grant's advance at Gravelly Run and gained some success, but was j eventually forced to retire. At Church Crossing a part of his corps under Pickett was badly cut up. The retreat from Petersburg had uow commenced. . On the 6th of April 1865, Anderson fought for the last time. The j surrender of Lee's Army followed on the 9tb. ( From early in the year 1862 to -the end of the war, Anderson's career was so large a part of that of the army of North Virginia, that to tell of ir in detail would iuvolve the necessity of writing the history of that grand army. He hm? a place in ali of rne important events of those memora? ble campaigns, and Ute responsible aud difficult duties devolving or him were always so disc h ar ged as to add lustre to to bis fame, and glory to bis oeuotry'i banner. After' General Johnston's surrender j Geo. Anderson returned to hts ol j bone. He was engaged in fanning te several years, and afterwards occupid a p8?trkm of trust with the^Soflh -? Carolina Railway Company. A .fc mooth? before Hts death, te - w? appointed State Inspector of Phospnati. On the 26th of June? 1879 he diet in the town 'of Beaufort, S. -U, and fas ' buried there.
