GENERAL FIELD ORDERS, HDQRS. DEPT. OF N. CAROLINA, Numbers 20.
Kinston, March 10, 1865.

The general congratulate the troops of his command upon the success which has attended their operations in frot of Kinston. Their patient endurance of privation and hardship, and their gallantry in action have met his expectations and won his gatitude. Fully able to maintain their position, and finally to beat their foe, more important work calls a large portion of them to a distant field, and necesarily suspends offensive operations in this quarter. To Major-Gneerals Hill and Hoke and Brigadier-General Baker, exercising separate commands, the general returns his cordial thanks for the able, prompt, and gallant support he has received.

By order of General Bragg:
