Charges Landis with violating the sixth and forty-fourth articles of war and with "conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline." Charges resulted from Landis's failure to report for "guard mounting" and subsequent "violent, insulting and insubordinate language" directed towards Wortham, his superior officer.

Excerpt: "…On Capt. Wortham replying 'I will be treated with respect in my office' the said Lieut A. Landis Jr. of the 2d Regiment of North Carolina Volunteer did say 'Damn you' or 'damn it' 'I treat you with as much respect as you deserve' or words to that effect…."

Augustus Landis Jr. was a First Lieutenant in Company D of the Twelfth North Carolina Infantry. Would later reach rank of Captain.
