opened for bringing supplies to Richmond. Full Confederate returns of casualties are not available, but from such as can be had, it appears that Walker's division lost heavily, in consequence of which the remnants of its brigades were assigned to other divisions. Lowrey's brigade, Cleburne's division, lost 578; Govan's brigade, 772 strong, which reported the capture of 700 prisoners and eight guns, also reported a loss of 408 killed and wounded and 91 missing, including many officers; J. A. Smith's brigade lost 198, including Col. R. Q. Mills wounded; Mercer's Georgia brigade lost 168; one regiment of Manigault's brigade lost 97. This is over 1,500 from a small part of the forces engaged. Logan reported the capture of 18 stand of colors, some. thing over 5,000 stand of small-arms, and, in addition to a large number of wounded left on the field, including 33 officers of rank, 1,017 prisoners; and that his three corps had buried and delivered under flag of truce 1,822 dead, wit

tham's corps were Gist's brigade—the Forty-sixth, Sixty-fifth, Eighth battalion, Second sharpshooters, and two South Carolina regiments—of Brown's division; and J. A. Smith's brigade—First volunteers, Fifty-fourth, Fifty-seventh and Sixty-third regiments—of Cleburne's division; and in Bate's division, Tyler's brigade under Brig.-Gete, who fell while most gallantly putting his regiment into the interior works of the enemy. After the death of Cleburne, who was succeeded temporarily by Gen. James A. Smith, Col. C. H. Olmstead took command of the brigade of that officer (formerly Mercer's). When the army moved from Florence, Smith's brigade was detached and leSmith's brigade was detached and left behind for the purpose of guarding a supply train. It did not rejoin the army until December 6th, in front of Nashville. Following the battle of Franklin, Bate's division was with Forrest in the investment of Murfreesboro. In the battle at that place, December 7th, Tyler's and Jackson's brigades won the Confederate honors

d be gathered to resist the advance of Sherman, who was reinforced by Schofield's corps at Wilmington. In the organization of the army under Johnston (as reported after April 9th), the following Georgia commands were included: In Brig.-Gen. James A. Smith's brigade, Cleburne's old division—First Georgia (consolidated First, Fifty-seventh and Sixty-third), Col. C. H. Olmstead; Fifty-fourth (consolidated Thirty-seventh, Fifty-fourth and Fourth battalion sharpshooters), Col. Theodore D. Cashe fighting at Bentonville, March 19th to 22d, it was warmly commended by General Stevenson for gallantry in repulsing a flank attack of the enemy, and received upon the field the thanks and compliments of General Johnston. In the same combat J. A. Smith's brigade was in the front line of battle and in the corps command of General Bate. In the charge on the Federals, Frank Stone, of the Oglethorpes of Augusta (then a company of Olmstead's First Georgia), bore one of the old Pat Cleburne batt

e also was dropped. In the fighting around Marietta, especially in the great battle of June 27th at Kenesaw mountain, the men of Mercer's brigade won the plaudits of their division commander, W. H. T. Walker. After the death of General Walker at Atlanta, Mercer's brigade was assigned to General Cleburne's division. On the death of that officer Maj.-Gen. John C. Brown took command of the division. In the Tennessee campaign and in that of the Carolinas, that ended at Bentonville, Brig.-Gen. James A. Smith commanded the brigade, General Mercer's health being in such condition that he was relieved of active duty and sent to Savannah with General Hardee. On the retreat from Savannah he accompanied General Hardee, but was not afterward actively engaged. He was a gallant soldier, but physically unable to endure the strain of a severe campaign. After the war he returned to Savannah, and was a banker in that city from 1866 to 1869. He then removed to Baltimore, Md., where he was a comm
