After the organization the regiment was ordered to Fort
Johnson, District of the Cape Fear, commanded by
Brigadier-General Joseph R. Anderson. The*time at this
camp was occupied in drilling and instructing the men in the
duties of the soldier. After a few weeks the Thirtieth was
ordered to occupy Camp Wyatt, near Fort Fisher.

Remaining in this camp the entire winter, the Thirtieth
was ordered to Wilmington to be forwarded to reinforce the
troops at New Bern, but that place having fallen, the Thir-
tieth was held at Wilmington, and occupied different camps
in the vicinity.

General S. G. French having succeeded General Anderson,
ordered the Thirtieth to Onslow and Jones, with instructions
to check the raids and depredations of Burnside’s cavalry,
then occupying New Bern. The force detailed for this work
was the Thirtieth North Carolina Infantry; Captain A. D.
Moore’s battery of light artillery, the Scotland Neck Mounted
Rifles, Captain A. B. Hill and Captain Newkirk’s company
of cavalry, the whole under command of the Colonel of the
Thirtieth. The two companies of cavalry had preceded the
other troops, and were picketing within a few miles of New
Bern, Burnside’s headquarters. This movement was of ben-
efit to our people in that section by keeping the enemy con-
fined to a narrow limit.

While in Onslow, on 1 May, 1862, by act of Congress, the
Thirtieth, with all other troops, was reorganized. This
brought many changes to the regiment. Major Kell was elected
Lieutenant-Colonel in place of Draughan. Lieutenant W.
W. Sellers was elected Major. The Thirtieth lost a worthy
officer in the person of Lieutenant-Colonel Draughan.

Soon after the reorganization the Thirtieth was ordered
back to Wilmington, and from thence to Richmond, Va.
