ain, and on the next day he took a gallant-part in the battle of Missionary Ridge. He was also with A. P. Stewart's division, supporting Cleburne at Ringgold Gap. In command of his regiment he was a gallant participant in the fighting from Rocky Face ridge to Atlanta, until General Clayton was promoted, when he was advanced to the rank of brigadier-general, and assigned to the command of Clayton's brigade. He commanded the brigade during Hood's flank movement in North Georgia, and in the Tennented Tracy in the command of the heroic brigade distinguished at Port Gibson, Baker's Creek and Vicksburg. He and his gallant brigade were in the front of the fight at the opening of the Georgia campaign of 1864, holding their position on Rocky Face ridge, May 8th, against a bloody assault. At New Hope church again they fought in the front line under fire, and at Powder Springs, the battles around Atlanta and Jonesboro, wherever Stevenson's division was engaged. During the battle on Lookout

iege in 1863 to look into complaints as to the burning of time fuses and injury from dampness to ammunition in the bomb-proof magazines of Fort Sumter and on Morris and Sullivan's Islands. Some of the most striking pictures of the war which my memory preserves are of scenes beheld during these visits, as for instance the suffocating interior of the sand-bag bomb-proofs of Battery Wagner on Morris Island and the assault of this work on the 18th of July, 1863; the skirmishing in front of Rocky Face Ridge of Genl. Johnston's army in May, 1864, at the opening of the campaign from Dalton to Atlanta; and the Army of Northern Virginia just after it had taken position in front of Petersburg in July, 1864, after the memorable campaign of the wilderness, when I saw for the last time my well and affectionately remembered chief, General Rodes, killed in the following September at Winchester. During the Civil War of 1861, the armament and warlike munitions of the world were very different from an

railroad in the valley called Crow Valley, is covered on the west with a high, steep ridge, Rocky Face Ridge, the culminating point of which bears the name of Buzzard Roost. The railroad between Chatough a tunnel under a narrow and low hill called Tunnel Hill. The latter is only a spur of Rocky Face Ridge, which it follows in a parallel direction for a short distance from its eastern face. Beyouth-easterly, passes across it, following the deep gap known by the name of Mill Creek Gap. Rocky Face Ridge thus offered positions easy to defend, but also easy to flank, and consequently without anylled to fall back on Varnell's Station. The presence of these troops on the two sides of Rocky Face Ridge inspired Palmer with extreme prudence. He advanced but a few miles during the day of the 2f his brigades and Long's cavalry. Baird leaves Tunnel Hill at three o'clock, passes round Rocky Face Ridge, and comes to join him. Palmer, who directs this movement in person, places Baird on the r

at five o'clock. From the Atlanta Confederacy;of Sunday morning, we get the following interesting details of the above intelligence: About 10 o'clock yesterday morning Hooker's corps, backed by the whole Federal army, attacked three divisions of our army a little to the west of Resaca. Hooker's corps had been in this vicinity for some time, and on Thursday night the whole of Sherman's army shifted down Sugar Valley towards Resaca. Before abandoning their position in front of Rocky Face Ridge and Bolton, the enemy on Thursday night seemed to create the impression that they were receiving reinforcements for a bold assault next morning. Large fires could be seen along their lines, and the Federal troops were cheering and shouting at intervals.--Before midnight the whole force had disappeared, and the next morning found them massed near Resaca. In this they were anticipated by the sagacious Johnston, who also silently moved the greater portion of his army, massing in fron
