SIXTH REGIMENT.

A. W. Mangum, D. D., Methodist Episcopal Church,

C., 12 May, 1890. When he resigned, 31 October, 1861, he
had preached to men who were to fall on twenty battle fields,
die in hospitals, or languish in Northern prisons. Perhaps
no regiment had greater losses than this. Three of its Colo-
nels and many, many others killed. Dr. Mangum preached
to thousands of Federal prisoners while pastor in Salisbury.
He spent many years in the pastorate and fifteen as a pro-
fessor at Chapel Hill. He is author of article on Salisbury
prison in this volume.

dolph County, born 1829, commissioned December, 1863,

April to November, 1862. His earnest ministrations during
the Virginia campaigns of 1862 have been followed by thirty-

useful mén in his church.

W. ©. Powers, Methodist Episcopal Church, South, born in
South Carolina in 1831; commissioned 22 September, 1861.
As he was at his post till the very last day, he seems to have
served longer than any other Chaplain. None were more
faithful. He has been a leading spirit in the South Carolina
Conference ever since. His bow yet abides in strength.
