Commissioners In Equity And Masters

The seven company rolls following are from the original rolls as the companies were raised and formed in 1861 and 1862, and were kindly copied and sent to me by Mr, J. R. Wright, of Ninety-Six:

Denny Company

Captain Denny was too old for active service; in a short time he resigned. His company was too large and was divided into two. Company M Seventh Regiment, E. J. Goggans, Captain, and Company H of the Seventh Regiment, James Mitchell, Captain. The rolls of these companies appear in Ihis book.

This company is, I suppose, the germ or the original of Company "I," Seventh Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers. In another place appears the roll of that company showing its condition, as reported by Captain Benjamin Roper, July 23rd. 1862, which roll is on file in the office of the Adjutant and Inspector General, Columbia, S. C.

Edgefield Hussars

This company was afterwards known as Company "I," Second Regiment Cavalry, the last Captain of which wasT. H. Clark. A roll made by Captain Clark since the war is on file in the Adjutant and Inspector General's office, and appears also in this book. Captain Clark, the last captain, is now living at Batesburg. M. C. Butler, first captain. United States Senator, - home at Edgefield.

Company H, Third Regiment

As instances of the splendid and heroic bravery of the men and boys composing the First South Carolina Regiment, Gregg's, and as facts in its history I insert the following. The writer is Theodore Roosevelt in the Cosmopolitan for December 1892.

Gaines Mill Company E, Seventh Regiment

"At the battle of Gaines Mill (Cold Harbor) Gregg's First South Carolina Regiment formed part of the attacking force. The resistance was desperate and the fury of the assault unsurpassed. At one point it fell to the lot of this Regiment to bear the brunt of carrying a strong position - moving forward at a run, the South Carolinians were swept by a fierce and consuming fire. Young James Taylor, a lad of sixteen, was carrying the flag, and was killed after being shot down three times, twice rising and struggling on with the colors. The third time he fell the flag was seized by George Cotchett, and when he in turn fell, by Shubrick Hayne. Hayne also was struck down almost immediately; and a fourth lad - for none were over twenty years old - grasped the colors and fell mortally wounded across the body of his friend. The fifth,. Gadsden Holmes, was pierced with no less than seven balls. The sixth man, Dominick Spellman, more fortunate, but not less brave, bore the flag throughout the rest of the battle."

Many of our readers have never seen a "furlough" and will no doubt be interested in a perusal of the followiwg. It is a bona fide document, as we have it direct from the hands of the private soldier named in it. The names of all the officers from Longstreet commanding the department to Lieutenant Bouknight commanding the company are quite familiar names to Edgefield people.

Matthews, private of Captain Goggan's company, Infantry, Seventh South Carolina Regiment, aged twenty-nine years, five feet six inches high, light complexion, blue eyes, and dark hair, and by profession a farmer, born in the District of Edgefield, State of South Carolina, and enlisted at Edgefield Court House, July ist, 1862, to serve for the period of two years, and re-enlisted February, 1864, for the war, is hereby permitted to go to Edgefield District, South Carolina, he having received a furlough from the

He is also deeply involved in some estates of which he is administrator - they being unsettled and in a state demanding .some immediate personal attention.

A better soldier never shouldered a gun. He has not lost a day, or missed a roll call since he has been in the service. His case certainly merits all attention and reward, and I earnestly recommend that this application be granted.

The reader will perceive that the total number of deaths in this company was considerably over one-third, which is very great - a little in excess of the average, which is about onethird.

Walker, died of disease in Mississippi. Commissioned and non-commissioned officers after reorganization. May 1862, 13; privates, 71; total rank and file, 84.

This roll was prepared by Captain Thomas W. Getzen, of Lake City, Fla. I have two copies before me, both prepared by Captain Getzen, and they do not correspond with each other absolutely in all particulars, nor does the copy from the office in Columbia entirely correspond with either, though very nearly.

There were killed in battle, 10; mortally wounded, o; died of diseas'-, 12; total deaths, 22; wounds received not mortal, 20; total casualties, 42; deaths only one over one-fourth.

Thomas W. Getzen "entered company at organization as a private; elected Third Lieutenant vice R. G. Lamar appointed Quarter-Master of regiment; elected Captain of Company 'B' at reorganization at Corinth, Miss., May, 1862; commanded regiment at the battle of Murfreesboro, Tenn., after the wounding of Colonel and Major; acted as Major until the 22nd July at Atlanta, when Major White, commanding, was wounded; commanded regiment on 28th July on the left at Atlanta, was wounded and furloughed 60 days; returned to regiment and commanded it at Nashville, Tenn., Kingston, and Bentonsville, N. C; lost a leg at the latter place; paroled at Highpoint, N. C. " No signature.

I think Captain Thomas P. Shaw has rather hard measure dealt him. According to one copy of the roll w^liich lies before me he was promoted from Coporal to Captain; was wounded at Franklin, Tenn., and died from his wound at that place. Another copy says he was wounded at Franklin, but says nothing of his promotion from Corporal, nor of his death; while still another copy says he died of wounds at Franklin^ making no mention of promotion. On the copy, however, which does not mention his death at Franklin, there is written in pencil on the line with his name, "Promoted Colonel", no date. This, no doubt, was read by the clerk in the Adjutant General's office, "promoted from Corporal." I do not know when he was promoted Colonel. I only know that when I joined the Regiment, Company "D", in March or February 1864, while they were still in winter quarters at Dalton, Ga., Shaw w^as Colonel or Lieutenant Colonel commanding the Regiment. He was in command as Colonel until after I was wounded and carried to the rear. I saw him under fire more than once, but especially at New Hope church, and he was as cool and collected as though he were receiving welcome guests at his owm home. He was in command of the Regiment at Franklin, Tenn., was wounded there, shot through the body, the ball .striking centrally in the upper part of the chest, but he did not die at Franklin; he was taken prisoner, but how long he remained in the hands of the enemy I do not know.

Wounds in battle not mortal, 13; wounded in railroad collision, 2; total wounds not mortal, 15.

The reader will perceive that the losses by death in this company were ver\- great, unusually so. Thirty-nine deaths out vof ninetj'-three men is largely over one-third, which I have found to be the average.

The company suffered greatly from sickness. The number of accidents is also somewhat unusual. There must have been several awkward squads in the company. There appears also to have been a fatality attending certain names. There were five Robersons in the compan)^; three died of disease in Mississippi, and one was captured at Pulaski, Tenn. ; the other was transferred in April, 1862, before the deaths of these, or he, too, might have died. There Vv'ere three McManuses; one died in Union Prison, December, 1863; another was captured at Atlanta in August, 1864, and the other was wounded in a railroad collision in April, 1862, and discharged. There were two Matthewses; both died of disease in 1862, one at Charleston, S. C, March loth, t.i:e other at Enterprise, Miss., July iSth. I observe a similar fatality attending certain name in Company "B." There were eight Horns in that company, ever}' one of whom suffered; two were killed in battle, four were wounded, and two died of disease.

Nor is this all; there were three Horns in Company ''C," 'frad e^'er3' one of them also suffered. One died of disease in June, 1862. One was wounded and disabled in November, 1863. One was killed in battle in September, 1863. Of eleven men named Horn in these two companies, three were killed in battle, five were wounded, and three died of disease.

Nor is this all yet; Captain Elijah W. Home, of Company "A," was wounded at Atlanta, making twelve of the name, every one of whom were sufferers. I observe, however, the "e" as the final letter in Captain Home's name, which the others have not.

August, 1864; but in point of fact, as Judge O'Neall used to express it, he v/as wounded about two o'clock at night, on the night of Sunday, May 29th, 1864, Being after midnight Avould make it May 30th. Captain Robert N. Chatham, commanding Company "G," who was killed by the same ball, is entered on the roll of his company as having been killed by accident near New Hope, in June, 1864. This entry is only a fev; days wrong. Whether he was killed by accident, or by the discharge of an enemy's gun, can never be known with certainty. Occasional firing was going on all that night, and, in fact, nearly all the time, day and night, for we were nearly always in the presence of the enemy. We were lying, at the time Captain Chatham was fatally w^ounded, in line of battle. I w-as in the rear rank lying upon my left side with my right leg a little drawn up, so that the foot rested upon the left just above the ankle. Captain Chatham, a little in the rear of the rear rank, was lying upon his right side within a few feet of me. I was about half asleep when suddenly a gun fired, which seemed to be very near. The ball pa.ssed through my right leg about an inch abcve tlie ankle, tearing out the smaller bone without touching the larger, and struck Captain Chatham in the stomach and lodged in his body. We were both carried together to a little house not far away. On the afternoon of Monda}-, May 30th, I was lifted into a wagon and transported to Marietta over the roughest road, it seemed to me then, that ever v/agon travelled over. Captain Chatham was alive when I left him, but he died that afternoon, as I was told afterwards. He was an amiable and good man, a brave and good ofBcer, and loved by his men. I saw Colonel Shaw at Newberry in 1867, and, talking about the events of that uight, he said he had come to the conclusion, and the general conclusion was, that the gun was fired by the enemy. I thought at the time that, being so near, it must have been the accidental discharge of one of our own guns, but the ball passed diagonally across our line, so that the man vv'ho fired the gun must have been in our front, though near.

On the last day of May I was lodged in hospital at Atlanta, where I remained all through that rainy month of June, 1864. Early in July, as Sherman began to draw near, the hospital was moved to Forsyth, Ga. There I remained until August loth, when I was furloughed for sixty days. I arrived at 1-iome safely August 13th, 1S64, - found all well, and never saw the army any more, except some of General Cheatham's at Newberry and some of Stewart's, a few miles below Chappells, in Edgefield. My fighting days were over. Very often during those four yeans I thought it a little strange and singular that men could not find something better to do than to make it a regular daily businens to try to kill one another. However, I suppose it is all right. Fighting great battles and gaining great victories is glory; shooting and killing birds is sport.

One was feraiisferred to cavalry and killed in battle. Oae lost a leg at Franklin. One died in hospital. Two discharged for dissLbility. One deserted, but I hope he behaved better after- All, I believe, both officers and men, were from Fvdgefield.

The whole loss is precisely one third during the war, which I have found to be the average loss of all the companies, the rolls of which I have copied. Some went a little over, some a little under. This company is the first one which I have found to be exact. If the Confederate States had in actual service in the field during the war as manj- as 240,000 men, then the actual number of deaths in battle and from the casualties of the war, was not less than 80,000. It is true, however, that some of the 80,000 would have died during that time; but it is true, nevertheless, that the war slaughtered in the Southern States 60,000 able-bodied men besides rendering many others cripples for life. "Lord, what fools these mortals be."

The quarterly meeting of the Baltimore Chapter, United Daughters of Confederacy, was marked yesterday by the reading of an original poem on the Confederate flag composed and read by the President, Mrs. D. Giraud Wright. The poem is as follows:

The poem by Mrs. D. Giraud Wright, of this city, on the Confederate flag, read yesterday at the meeting of the Daughters of the Confederacy, will touch many hearts. The titanic struggle of which the Confederate flag is the symbol, and the noble qualities it called forth in a brave, conscientious and chivalric people, must ever commaud the interest and respect of all generous minds. xVU the world honors the magnificent efforts of the South in behalf of v^diat it deemed right and expedient, though all the world ma}- not view its failure with regret. The sentiment of loj'alty with which ex-Confederates regard their flag is intelligible and commands the deference, if not sympathy, of tho&e who upheld the stars and stripes. There is much that is pathetic in the memories the sight of the flag of the Confederacy invokes, and it has inspired many poems, of which Mrs. Wright's is one of the best.

As part of the history of Compani' "K" and of the Fourteenth Regiment, I insert the following, clipped from the Charleston News and Courier:

As a subscriber to your valuable paper, I ask the favor of you to publish my letter of inquiry as to the whereabouts of the colors of the Fourteenth South Carolina Regiment. I was a member of that regiment and feel interested as to final disposal of its colors. By complying with the above you will confer a favor. Respectfully,

Rufus Hareing

In the early days of 1S65 McGowan's Brigade was holding the right wing of General lyCe's army. Early in the morning we were ordered to move out of our works, by the right flank, in the direction of the South Side Railroad, to cover the retreating and shattered forces of Lee's army, and soon after we had gotten on the march Captain Dunlap's Battalion of sharpshooters was ordered to the rear, deployed, and ordered to fall back in rear of the brigfade. Soon after crossing a small stream we heard the roaring as that of distant tliunder, which we soon discovered to be the mighty host of Sheridan's Cavalry in hot pursuit, and each cavalr3'man seemed to have a man behind him. As soon as the}^ would come within range, the men behind would dismount and fire on us. We would return the fire as often as possible. Thus for some distance we were hotly pursued.
