eon--Dr. Maxy. Company A--John H. Muldrow, Darlington. Company B--Richard T. Powell, Chesterfield. Company C--Thomas E. Powe, Chesterfield. Company D--Robt. P. Miller, Chesterfield. Company E--M.E. Keith, Darlington. Company F--T.E. Howle, Darlington. Company G--C.P. Townsend, Marlboro. Company H--Duncan McIntyre, Marion. Company I--A.T. Harllee, Marion. Company K--Frank Manning, Marlboro. Company L--Thomas E. Stackhouse, Marion. Company M--Thomas E. Howle, Darlington. Company L was a new company, and T.E. Stackhouse was made Captain; also A.T. Harllee was made Captain of Company I. Company M was also a new company. After the reorganization the Generals' staffs were reduced to more republican simplicity. General Kershaw was contented with-- Captain C.R. Holmes--Assistant Adjutant General. Lieutenant W.M. Dwight--Adjutant and Inspector General. Lieutenant D.A. Doby--Aide de Camp. Lieutenant Jno. Myers--Ordnance Officer. Major W.D.

General Kershaw had two fine-looking, noble lads as couriers, neither grown to manhood, but brave enough to follow their chief in the thickest of battle, or carry his orders through storms of battles, W.M. Crumby, of Georgia, and DeSaussure Burrows. The latter lost his life at Cedar Creek. As I have thus shown the regiments and brigade in their second organization, under the name it is known, "Kershaw's," and as all were so closely connected and identified, I will continue to treat them as a whole. The same camps, marches, battles, scenes, and experiences were alike to all, so the history of one is the history of all. South Carolina may have had, and I have no doubt did have, as good troops in the field, as ably commanded as this brigade, but for undaunted courage, loyalty to their leaders and the cause, for self-denials and sacrifices, united spirits, and unflinching daring in the face of death, the world has never produced their superiors. There was much to animate their feelings and stimulate their courage. The older men had retired and left the field to the leadership of the young. Men were here, too, by circumstances of birth, education, and environment that could scarcely ever expect to occupy more than a secondary place in their country's history, who were destined to inferior stations in life, both social and
