William Hill, O.A.D. ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MAY 15, 1863 BATTLE OF CHANCELLORSVILLE Our community, district, state and country, are again called to mourn over her gallant dead. The great and decisive victory won over our enemy has been at the expense of some of our bravest and noblest men. The death of General Jackson casts a gloom over our entire country. His name and fame were household words around every fireside in our Southern Confederacy; every soldier loved and revered him. He is now at rest and in the enjoyment of a brighter sphere in a happier world. Abbeville village and district has suffered much. The list of her illustrious dead has been swelled and the joy of the defeat of our foe is mingled with sorrow. The dispensations of Providence are many, the great, the good and the mighty must succumb to His will. Among those who fell in the late battle was Col. James M. Perrin of the First Regiment Rifles, South Carolina Volunteers. He was a resident of this village; a gentleman of rare accomplishments in the legal profession; an active and efficient member of our State Legislature; high toned, dignified and lastly but not least, a true christian. At home mingling with his friends and constituents, he was gentlemanly, generous and courteous. On the field of conflict, he was brave and gallant. He not only had the respect and confidence of the officers and men under his command, but that of his superiors. When the tocain of war first resounded on the coast of his native Carolina, he buckled on his armor and at the head of a company, repaired to the scene of action, Charleston. After Fort Sumter had fallen and the time for which his company had enlisted expired, he came home and arranging his business, again organized a company and was attached to Col. Orr's Regiment of Rifles, and since then, in the line of promotion, he became commander of the Regiment, at the head of which, after passing through several terrific battles, sacrificed his life in defense of his country. He was an old veteran of the Mexican War and and were inured on her bloody fields to the dispatching of the canonade, the rattling of musketry and the glittering swords. His brilliant career is ended, the muffled drum on the banks of the Rappahannock sounded his last march, when he yielded to Death, his acknowledged Commander in Chief. Among those who are numbered among those slain on the Rappahannock are: J.D. Malone Thos. C. Perrin E.C. Riley W.B. Riley J.F. Martin W.A. Montgomery All of these, of our village and district, belonging to Co. B", Col. Perrin's Regiment. It is a matter of regret to record the fall of the young, promising and brave. Some of the most gifted, talented and worthy young men of our community have already fallen and this list only adds to its members. We publish in another column a full list of the casualties from our Columbia exchange. ----------- CASUALTIES IN THE FIRST REGIMENT, S.C.V. Company H Capt. W.T. Haskell, wounded C.

White, Lieut., 14th S.C.V. ------------- LATEST BATTLE We clip the following from the Columbia Guardian We have the gratifying assurance from Rev. Mr. Barnwell that the number of South Carolinians killed and mortally wounded in the late battle in Virginia is small. But among them are names which will excite a profound and general regret. The noble hearted, lofty minded James M. Perrin. Col. of Orr's regiment, has fallen a sacrifice. Col. Perrin was a younger brother of Col. T.C. Perrin, a distinguished graduate of the South Carolina college, a soldier in Mexico, a lawyer of many accomplishments. Thomas Perrin, fourth son of Col. T.C. Perrin, is now also numbered among the dead, having met his fate in the same battle. A gallant brother of his fell in the battles before Richmond, in advance of his company. The brothers are now united in death, but a fearful void is left in the hearts of their family and friends. The accomplished Charles W. Boyd, Chaplain of the Company, has also paid his last debt. Many tears will flow, many heart pangs be felt for the gifted, accomplished, pure and brave Charley Boyd. He was a young man of brilliant success and most brilliant promise. The fall of men as we have here noticed, consecrates anew the cause of the South and hallows it forever. -------- CASUALTIES IN LATE BATTLE We copy the following special dispatch from the Guardian: May 5th - - - The 12th Regiment, South Carolina Volunteers - - - Corporal Ellis, Company E of Lancaster District, was wounded in a skirmish, severely.

William Hill, O.A.D. ---------- NEWSPAPER Issue of Friday, MAY 29, 1863 INCIDENT AT BATTLE OF MURFREESBORO >From a Junior Correspondent, Camp, 19th Regiment, S.C. Vols May 15, 1863 Jno. A. Nelson, private of Co. B 19th Regiment, S.C. Vols. was detailed to to to the rear as wagon guard on the day of the battle of Murfreesboro, but instead of staying in the rear, engaged with another soldier to exchange places that he might go in with the ranks. Nelson fought gallantly until he fell severely wounded in the foot. He afterswards fell into the hands of the enemy and his foot was amputated. He has returned from their lines, having been duly exchanged. We think it nothing but justice to place on record such instances of patriotism and devotion to one's country. We are pleased to learn that Sefg't S.A. Jordan of our Company has returned from Mufreesboro, having been exchanged. We learn from him that Corporal L.D. Lee is recovering from the severe wound which he received in the battle of Murfreesboro. Mr. Alexander McCaslan of Abbeville district, has been in camp for several days on a visit to see his son. May 19, 1863 - - Camp, 19th Regiment, S.C. Vols Pvt. J.T. Clamp of Abbeville district, a member of Capt. Addison Clinkscales company, was in camp a few days ago, an exchanged prisoner of war. Clamp is a good soldier and deserves great credit for his gallantry in the field of the battle of Mufreesboro. In the battle he received three wounds which were painful, and thought by his friends to be mortal. At the evacuation of Murfreesboro, he fell into the hands of the enemy. After three months he is partially recovered and was exchanged. He came promptly to his company but being still unable for duty, was sent to the hospital, and we hope by now, that he has been furloughed home. On Furlough - - - - Col. Pressly took leave the morning of the 18th on a short respite from military duty, to visit at home. We regret to learn that his aged father recently died in South Carolina. Back Again - - - Mr. Joseph P. Young of Abbeville district, who has been home on furlough, returned to our company on the morning of the 17th inst. He is looking quite well. ------ STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA, Abbeville District Court in Equity James M.
