Patterson, of our regiment, enthused with admiration at the old officer's conduct, exclaimed, Go it, colonel! I'll stand at your back, or words to that effect. Hearing Lieutenant Patterson's hearty, but rather familiar endorsement, and struck, as he had been, with the conduct and words of the old gentleman, turning to Lieutenant Patterson, I said: Who is that old ofLieutenant Patterson, I said: Who is that old officer you are speaking to so familiarly?

Night coming on, some of our men actually got in among the enemy before discovering their position, so close were the contending forces on the extreme right of our line. A member of our regiment, private Henry B. Cowles, thus came very near being captured, but before being discovered made his way back to our line. Let us now take an extract from General Wrig

Tayleure gives the following pathetic incident as to young Pucci: Just a few days before the spring campaign opened with this battle, there was quite a religious revival going on in the camps, and many were induced to join the church.

We had halted only about sixty or seventy yards from the road, but there was a dense woods in front of us and a great deal of fire and smoke. In fact, I do not think I have ever seen a battle-field where there was more destruction to life and more horrors than that of the Wilderness. Captain John R. Patterson, who, as first lieutenant of Company E, Twelfth Virginia regiment, commanded that company in the action, in a statement furnished by him, says: I distinctly remember seeing Colonel Sorrel attempt to take the flag from the gallant Ben.
