at Savannah for the honor of this service. Colonel Lawton selected details from the Chatham artillery, under Capt. Joseph S. Cleghorn, an officer who was also charged by the governor with all matters relating to ordnance; from the Savannah Guards, Capt. John Screven, and from the Oglethorpe Light Infantry, Capt. Francis S. Bartow, whose brilliant eloquence had been devoted to the cause of separation. This force, numbering 134 men, was carried by boat to Cockspur island on the morning of the 3d, and the occupation was effected without resistance from the few men in the works, who were allowed to continue in their quarters without duress. The militia under Colonel Lawton immediately hoisted a State flag—a red lone star on a white ground—which they greeted with a salute, and then set to work putting the fort in order, mounting the guns, and preparing ammunition. The Savannah ladies furnished the cartridge bags, as well as dainty additions to the rations of the soldiers, in which acce

m which he was able to extricate himself by gallant fighting but at great loss. This regiment had the most killed, wounded and missing —70 on the 2d and 101 on the 3d, in all over half the regiment. The loss of the brigade was given at about 400 on the 2d, and in all 509. Anderson's Georgians made three charges upon the enemy charge of the Eleventh. Among the killed of this regiment were Capts. M. T. Nunnally and John W. Stokes, and Lieut. W. H. Baskin. The total loss was 204. On the 3d the Eleventh, under Capt. W. H. Mitchell, and the Fifty-ninth, under Capt. M. G. Bass, all commanded by Major McDaniel, and supported by the Eighth, Capt. D. Scott, enemy's guns on Cemetery hill, and distant therefrom nearly 1,400 yards. With these guns immediately under my command, I took part in the actions of the 2d and 3d instant, being at all times during the engagement subjected to a very heavy fire, chiefly from Napoleon guns. In these two days actions Captain Ross' battery sustained

t. At Jonesboro Sherman heard the explosions at 2 a. m. and 4 a. m. of the 2d, and thought that perhaps Slocum was making a night attack on the city. But that officer postponed his triumphal entry until later in the morning of the 2d. Stewart and Lee's corps marched all night of the 1st, and the advance of the wagon train reached McDonough, 10 miles east of Lovejoy's Station, at 2 p. m. next day. Stewart was ordered to the latter place to support Hardee; Lee, who reached McDonough on the 3d, was sent to the same destination; General Smith's State troops were ordered to Griffin, and Jackson kept his scouts out well in the direction of Greenville. Sherman on the 2d moved his army down before Hardee's position at Lovejoy's, but did not make a determined attack, and then being advised of the evacuation of Atlanta, and perceiving that he was too late to prevent the concentration of Hood's forces, abandoned his position on the 5th. Thomas' army was grouped about Atlanta, Howard's at

s crossing of the Chattahoochee toward his rear, Sherman left General Slocum and his corps to guard Atlanta and the Chattahoochee bridge, and started northward in pursuit of Hood with five corps. Hood reached the vicinity of Lost mountain on the 3d, and on the 4th General Stewart's corps struck the railroad at Acworth and Big Shanty, capturing 400 prisoners and some stores. Major-General French's division, about 3,000 strong, was sent against Allatoona, one of Sherman's most important depotsKilpatrick out toward Waynesboro again, supported by Baird's division of infantry. Wheeler checked the advance at Rocky creek, but was flanked from this position. Next day he attacked the enemy in force, and renewed the attack at midnight. On the 3d the Federals advanced, and Wheeler threw up barricades and fought desperately, but was pushed back to Waynesboro. Here he was so warmly pressed that it was with difficulty he succeeded in withdrawing from his position, but a gallant charge of Tex
