Of field-officers in the Confederate service, at least thirteen illustrious names are among the Alumni of the University, namely: Lieut.-General Leonidas Polk, Brig.-Generals Geo. B. Anderson, Rufus Barringer, L. O'B. Branch, Thomas L. Clingman, Robert D. Johnston, Gaston Lewis, James Johnston Pettigrew, Matt. W. Ransom, Ashley W. Spaight; and Adjutant-Generals R.C. Gatlin, John F. Hoke. Generals Polk, Anderson, Branch, and Pettigrew were killed, and all the others (with the exception of the two bureau officers) severely wounded, and most of them more than once. I regret that my information in regard to many other gallant field-officers is at present too imperfect to justify the enumeration; much less am I able to give a correct list of subaltern officers, and the unrecorded dead. It will be a labor of love to continue my inquiries, in the hope of being able at some future day to present a suitable memorial of all our loved and lost. Beloved till Time can charm no more, And mourned till Pity's self be dead. In looking over the list of even so few as are recorded above, one is struck with the number of those killed, of whom interesting and touching obituary memorials might be written. Nearly all of them were men of rank. One of the most widely read and admired and useful religious biographies of the day has been Miss Marsh's Life of Captain Hedley Vicars of the English Crimean Army. We had many a Captain Vicars in our Southern Confederate army, whose life, if written as well, would be quite as striking, quite as valuable--many pure and noble Christian young men, the beauty of whose daily lives still sheds a glow around their memories. It was in fact a common remark, during the war, that it was the best who fell. I am sure that North-Carolinians, at least, will not be displeased with particular mention of a few of their dead in this place.
