To show the per fect, devotion of this nolable company and the sacrifices which it suffered for the honor and glory of the southern cause, it is only necessary to say that, at the close of the war only Colonel Gerald and twelve of the original num ber survived. ’Judge Gsrald was in the first battle of Manassas, and in many other battles fought by the Army of Northern Vir ginia.
