ed forward with all speed that night and all of the next morning, steering by the moon, until, at 2 1/2 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, they reached the house of a Mr. Macon, Here they resolved, at all risks, to stop and make inquiries.

They passed for men of the Fourth Alabama regiment, and she showed that she was familiar with that corps, by inquiring as to the fate of two officers named Grey. Doherty told her that one of them had been killed. This she promptly denied, from the strength of other information which had reached her, but her suspicions were removed by the explanation that the Grey we mean was a private. The fugitives, however, seeing that Mrs. Macon was by no means a person of easy credulity, lost no time in relieving her Southern hospitality of their presence. Near Leesburgh, still passing for Alabamians, they met a man who was satisfied

s. The batteries on the various hills nobly assisted the battery on the heights, keeping up a continual stream of fire, each volley thinning the ranks of the enemy in a terrible manner. The battery of Capt. Miles C. Mason, of Richmond, covered itself with glory. The fire was opened on the storming regiments by this battery. The railroad gap at one time was filled with Yankees, when a well-directed shot from the battery exploded in their midst, killing about fifty of the hirelings. Captain Macon's battery was hotly engaged on the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth, and won the admiration of all the commanding officers by the coolness and precision exhibited by the men in handling their guns. Astonishing to say, not a man of this company was killed or wounded. One rifle piece of Capt. Ewbank's battery, near the centre, has been engaged. On Saturday afternoon it played upon the Yankee brigade driven by Hill's men from the woods in front of Bernard's. This portion of the batter

ving returned to his more comprehensive duties in Petersburg, and committed the expedition to us, you issued instructions for a systematic cooperation on the part of infantry and all, toward success that night, and I sketched and submitted to the artillery officers an exact programme for their proceeding. Colonel Brown was to take to Major Cocks twelve guns, viz., four ten-pounder Parrott rifles, two Napoleons, four twelve-pounder howitzers, and two six-pounders, under Captains Watson and Macon, and Lieutenants Thurmond and Pegram. He was to move by four P. M., so as to approach his position about dusk. Lieutenant-Colonel Coleman was to take to Coggin's Point, on its right, eight twelve-pounder howitzers, under Captains Dance and Joseph Graham, and Lieutenant Griffin. Major Nelson also to take to Coggin's Point, on its left, eight guns, viz., two ten-pounder Parrott rifles, two three-inch rifles, two twelve-pounder howitzers, and two six-pounders, under Captains Huckstep and

tion from Stoneman, drifted back with over 400 prisoners to Newnan. Here McCook was defeated by General Alexander P. Stewart's infantry and lost his captured Confederates, and reported from Turner's Ferry his own loss as 600. Stoneman, for some unaccountable reason, did not carry out Sherman's instructions at all. Coming from Decatur, he did not join McCook near Jonesboro. Instead of that, he passed off behind the Ocmulgee and went down on the eastern bank. A Confederate dispatch from Macon gave the result of his raid: Stoneman, after having his force routed yesterday, surrendered with 500 men; the rest of his men are scattered and flying toward Eatonton. Many have been already killed or captured. Sherman, after this sad experiment, declared that our cavalry could not or would not make a sufficient lodgment on the railroad below Atlanta, and that nothing would suffice but for us to reach it with the main body. After the discomfiture and return of Ed. McCook and the

rleans Territory as the State of Louisiana. Its consideration was laid aside for the present. It was taken up again February 8, 181, and recommitted. (Annals of Congress, 1810-1811, pp. 12, 25, 27, 33, 129.) Attention was now turned to the admission of Orleans Territory as the State of Louisiana. Mr. John Poydras, the delegate from Orleans Territory, presented a petition from the Territorial legislature praying admission as a State. This petition was referred to a committee of which Mr. Macon was chairman, and a bill for this purpose was presented by the committee December 27th. It was amended and debated in its several stages January 2d, 4th and 10th, and was put on its final passage January 14th, and after a debate of much sectional bitterness, reviving the old constitutional questions of 1803, was finally passed by the House January 15, 1811, by a vote of 77 yeas to 36 nays. (Ibid., 413, 466, 482, 493, 513 to 579.) It was during the debate on this bill that Josiah Quinc

battle January 3d. In the Virginia and Maryland campaigns of 1862, under Johnston, Jackson and Lee, Mississippians were also conspicuous. Mississippians were on guard at Yorktown under Magruder during April, 1862, and in the sortie of April 5th the Second battalion, Lieut.-Col. John G. Taylor, demonstrated their valor; and in the battle at Dam No. 1, April 16th, a part of the Seventeenth was engaged. At Williamsburg, the Nineteenth, Col. C. H. Mott, was very actively in the fight. Captain Macon, skirmishing in the woods in front, was desperately wounded, but while in the greatest agony gave accurate information of the enemy's position. The regiment was then ordered to charge and at the first volley from the Federals Colonel Mott fell, shot through the body. The right of the regiment, under Lieut.-Col. L. Q. C. Lamar, pressed forward and drove the enemy back to an abatis. The left was equally successful and suffered severely. The colors were borne in succession by Sergeant P
