The Daily Dispatch: June 18, 1861., [Electronic resource], The Howitzers at the Bethel Church fight. (search)
mbers of the Howitzer corps: From a multitude of sources I learn of the calm, cool, determined courage of a little group of our Richmond boys. I beg you will allow a place in your columns for an especial and individual mention of them, who so courageously and so honorably acquitted themselves in the heat of the battle at Bethel Church. Col. Hill, of the North Carolina Regiment, can sustain many in his testimony to their gallant stand in the most exposed position, and under the heaviest cannonading during the engagement. Lieut Hudnall, Geo. Hobson, John Werth, John West, Henry Shook, Geo. Hughes, Sergeant B. Hughes, Frank Botts, John Langhorne, L. W. Timberlake, William McCarthy, William Caldwell, Reuben Pleasants, W. R. Hutcheson, S. Pendleton, and last, though not least, must I make mention of the youngest son of the late Dr. Micajah Clark, whose memory lives so freshly greet, in the hearts of thousands of our citizens. May the God of Jacob bless our Howitzer boys. Amicus.

nt on our right of the road under cover of some houses and a paling. They were, however, promptly driven back by our artillery, a Virginia company (the Life Guard) and companies B, C and G of my regiment. The enemy made no deployment within musketry range during the day, except under cover of woods, fences or paling.--Under cover of the trees he moved a strong column to an old ford, some three-quarters of a mile below where I had placed a picket of some forty men. Colonel Magruder sent Captain Werth's company of Montague's command, with one howitzer under Sergeant Crane, to drive back this column, which was done by a single shot from the howitzer.--Before this a priming wire had been broken in the vent of the howitzer commanded by Captain Brown and rendered it useless. A force estimated at 1,500 was now attempting to outflank us and get in the rear of Lieut. Col. Stewart's small command. He was accordingly directed to fall back, and the whole of our advanced troops were withdrawn.

eciating the motive which prompted his publication of our names, we deeply regret that he should have thought proper to do so. Being unconscious of any gallant conduct on our part, more than duty and duty alone required, we esteem it our especial gratification to share our fortunes alike with our brother Howitzers, and claim for all of them as much as we ourselves receive or deserve. Engaged in the same holy struggle, and striving for the same happy results, our fates are linked together for that victory which must ultimately crown our noble cause. Hoping to be understood, We are, respectfully, Stephen B. Hughes, Reuben B. Pleasants, Samuel H. Pendleton, William M. Caldwell, George W. Hobson, Wm. H. McCarthy, L. W. Timberlake, George P. Hughes, David B. Clark, John B. Langhorne, John M. West, Frank Botto, 2d Company Howitzer Battalion. P. S.--We but follow the example of our fellow soldier, John Werth, now in Richmond, whose card you published on yesterday.
