"It's A. P. Hill's battle again! A. P. Hill or Longstreet! Magruder and Huger and Holmes and A. P. Hill and Longstreet and we out of it again, on the wrong side of White Oak Swamp! And they're looking for us to help Wish I was dead!" The 65th Virginia had its place some distance up the stream, in a tangled wood by the water.
Jesting must be avoided when it is out of season. Beware of bursting out into laughter, beyond the limits of decorum, and of doing so without reasonable cause, merely from an inclination to laugh. Never laugh at the misfortunes of others, although they seem in some sort laughable 65th Speak not injurious Words neither in Jest nor Earnest Scoff at none although they give Occasion
Now we have got all the stores ashore it will be precious slow work being stuck on this beach." "We are waiting for the 65th," a sergeant said. "I hear the Serapis was expected this morning. It is great luck for them getting a fight without any trouble at all. How pleased they must have been when they heard at Aden that they were to be stopped on their way up, to have a share in the affair!"
At the crest of the hill the 65th came upon Imboden's battery the Staunton Artillery four smoothbore, brass six-pounders, guns, and caissons drawn by half the proper number of horses the rest being killed and conducted by wounded, exhausted, powder-grimed and swearing artillerymen.

Are you the foot cavalry? 65th Virginia, Stonewall Brigade? Glad to see you, 65th! Welcome to these here parts. What made you late? We surely did hone for you yesterday evening. Oh, shucks! the best gun'll miss fire once in a lifetime. Who's your colonel? Richard Cleave? Oh, yes, I remember! read his name in the reports. We've got a good one, too, real proud of him.

"Why are you not with your regiment, sir?" "I left it but a moment ago, sir, to bring information I thought it my duty to bring." "What information?"
