. Chief Surgeon--Dr. F. Salmond. Chaplains--Revs. McGruder and Smith. I give below a list of the Captains, as well as the field officers, of the Second Regiment during the war. There were many changes from Lieutenants to Captains, and subsequent elections from the ranks to Lieutenants, caused by the casualties of war, but space forbids, and want of the facts prevents me from giving more than the company commanders and the field officers. Colonels--J.B. Kershaw, E.P. Jones, Jno. D. Kennedy, and Wm. Wallace. Lieutenant Colonels--E.P. Jones, A.D. Goodwin, F. Gaillard, Wm. Wallace, and J.D. Graham. Majors--A.D. Goodwin, W.H. Casson, F. Gaillard, Wm. Wallace, I.D. Graham, B.F. Clyburn, G.L. Leaphart. Adjutants--A.D. Goodwin, E.E. Sill, and A. McNeil. Surgeons and Assistant Surgeons--J.A. Maxwell and J.H. Nott. Some of them went from Captains and Majors through all the grades to Colonel. The following are the Captains, some elected at the first organization, some at the reorganization, and others rose by promotion from Lieutenant: Company A--W.H. Casson, M.A. Shelton, G.L. Leaphart, M.M. Maddrey. Company B--A.D. Hoke, Wm. Pulliam, W. Powell, J. Caigle. Company C--Wm. Wallace, S. Lorick, J.T. Scott, A.P. Winson. Company D--J.S. Richardson, J.D. Graham, W. Wilder. Company E--John D. Kennedy, elected Colonel, Z. Leitner, J. Crackeford. Company F--W.W. Ferryman, W.C. China, G. McDowell. Company G--J. Hail, J. Friesdale, J.P. Cunningham. Company H--H. McManus, D. Clyburn. Company I--G.B. Cuthbreath, Ralph Elliott, R. Fishburn, B.F. Barlow. Company K--R. Rhett, J. Moorer, K.D. Webb, J.D. Dutart,--Burton, G.T. Haltiwanger. Many changes took place by death and resignation. Scarcely any of the field officers remained in the end. Many Captains of a low rank went all the way to Colonels of regiments, and Third Lieutenants rose by promotion to Captains. This shows the terrible mortality among the officers. None of the first field officers but what had been killed or incapacitated for service by wounds at the close of the war. * * * * * THIRD SOUTH CAROLINA REGIMENT. James D. Nance, of Newberry, Captain of Company E, elected Colonel. Conway Garlington, of Laurens, Captain of Company A, elected Lieutenant Colonel. W.D. Rutherford, of Newberry, formerly Adjutant, made Major. Y.J. Pope, Newberry, formerly Orderly Sergeant of Company E, made Adjut
