One of the companies, the Wilkinson Rifles, is from the county of that name, and numbers 80 men. Their uniform is of Georgia kersey. Some idea of the size of the men composing this gallant company may be inferred from the statement that twenty of them are over six feet high. The following is a list of the officers: Captain, W. O. Beall; First Lieutenant, D. M. Clay; Second Lieut., S. H. Washington; Ensign, J. Rivers; Surgeon, Dr. Harris Fisher; Orderly Sergeant, M. E. Boatwright; Second Serg't E. M. Clay; Third Sergeant, A. A. Beall; Fourth Sergeant, B. F. Pitman; Fifth Sergeant, R. G. Hyman; First Corporal, M. A. Hail; Second Corporal, James Pitman; Third Corporal, O. M. Davis; Fourth Corporal, Jas. L. Brannon. The other company, numbering 100 sturdy and determined-looking men, is called the Blodgett Guards, and is under command of Foster Blodgett, Esq., formerly Mayor of Augusta. The companies belong to the Third Regiment, and more of the same sort are on their way hers.
