Jackson had seen the charge, and Forno's Louisianians, with a regiment of Lawton's, had already been sent forward with the bayonet. In close order the counterstroke came on. The thinned ranks of the Federals could oppose no resolute resistance. Fighting they fell back, first to the embankment, where for a few moments they held their own, and then to the wood.
The success of New Orleans as a city can be no more attributed to Louisianians than can that of the Havana to the men of Cuba, or of Calcutta to the natives of India. It has been a repetition of the old story, told over and over again through every century since commerce has flourished in the world; the tropics can produce, but the men from the North shall sow and reap, and garner and enjoy.
The flattered Gholson received the signed paper and passed out, and the General smiled again, at his back. I hope no one has ever smiled the same way at mine. Ferry and I slept side by side that night, and he told me two companies of our Louisianians were gone to cut off Jewett and his band.
Ewell with Trimble's South Carolinians and Harry Hayes's Louisianians held the slope of the mountain, and from these heights bellowed Latimer's guns. Over hill and vale the Light Division was seen coming, ten thousand men in grey led by A. P. Hill. "It surely air a sight to see," said Billy. "I never even dreamed it, back thar on Thunder Run." "There the Yankees come!" cried Coffin.
Fenner, of Louisiana, and his colleague, Mr. Collins. Each time they left money and clothing, giving me large discretionary powers, although specifying that, as the money was supplied by Louisianians, the soldiers from that State should be first considered. Through Mr.

There were the remnants of companies, regiments, and brigades, many of them Louisianians, and from other States outside the Confederate lines.
John Randolph's will set free nearly four hundred in 1833; Monroe Edwards of Louisiana manumitted 160 by deed in 1840; and George W.P. Custis of Virginia liberated his two or three hundred at his death in 1857. Still other large proprietors while not bestowing immediate liberty made provisions to bring it after the lapse of years. Prominent among these were three Louisianians.
The Louisianians are coming up that cleft between the hills. All the Stonewall regiments in the centre. Ewell to flank their left. Did you ever hear Ewell swear? Look out! wheel's cut through. Lanyard's shot away. Take handkerchiefs. Haven't got any tear somebody's shirt. Number 1! Number 2! Look out! look out Give them hell. Good Heaven! here's Old Jack. General, we hope you'll go away from here!
The burial squad, turned guard of honor to the dead captain of the Louisianians, were riding away on either side of a light wagon that bore his mortal part. I, after all, was to be the Harpers' guardian on their way.
To cover this change, skirmishers were thrown forward and De Bray's regiment deployed in the field. The enemy showing no disposition to advance, at 4 P.M. I ordered a forward movement of my whole line. The ardor of Mouton's troops, especially the Louisianians, could not be restrained by their officers.
