Philip Cook; Commissary J. B. Morgan; Quartermasterrthern Virginia, and enjoyed the distinction of giving two brigadier-generals to the Confederate army. Its first colonel, George Doles, became brigadier-general and was killed at Second Cold Harbor. He, was succeeded as colonel by Philip Cook, who Col. J. N. Ramsey; Second volunteers, Col. Paul J. Semmes; Third volunteers, Col. H. R. Wright; Fourth volunteers, Col. George Doles; Fifth volunteers, Col. John K. Jackson; Sixth volunteers, Col. A. H. Colquitt; Seventh volunteers, Col. L. J. Gartby N. B. Hudgins, and Nisbet by John B. Countiss. The Twenty-first was one of the regiments commanded by the gallant General Doles, who fell at the second battle of Cold Harbor. The Twenty-second regiment Georgia volunteers, also organized in 18

considerable force, drove back the Confederate pickets to the skirt of woods immediately in front of and about half a mile distant from the Southern lines. Col. George Doles, with the Fourth Georgia, was on the picket line, and Gen. Ambrose R. Wright brought forward the Twenty-second (Col. R. H. Jones) and the First Louisiana, ansition on the right, late in the day, General Wright sent against them the Fourth Georgia and Hill's North Carolina regiment. This order was promptly obeyed by Colonel Doles, who with his small command, now worn out and completely exhausted by the fatigue and want of rest on the night before, and the constant fight during the wholer of prisoners, besides most of their killed and a few of their wounded. Such was the vigorous report of the day's fight from General Wright, who complimented Colonel Doles and his regiment with particular warmth, and permitted them to inscribe upon their colors the name of the battle—King's Schoolhouse. The following day Gen.

The officers commanding the Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth Georgia regiments report that it is impossible for them to make distinctions where so many acted with distinguished bravery. In the Twenty-seventh every commissioned officer except one was killed or wounded at Sharpsburg, and this sole survivor was unwilling to discriminate among so many brave men. Colonel Doles, Fourth Georgia, who by the wounding of General Ripley attained brigade command, commended the gallant conduct of Capt. John C. Key, commanding Forty-fourth, and Captain Read, assistant adjutant-general. Asst. Surg. William P. Young remained on the field after he was wounded, caring for the suffering, and was taken prisoner. Privates Thomas S. Carwright, who fell with the colors of the Fourth in his hands, Joseph L. Richardson, wounded, and Henry E. Welch were distinguished, and Private

Tmarch, taking with him among other gallant commands the Georgia brigades of Thomas, Colquitt and Doles. The Twenty-third Georgia, of Colquitt's bri. gade, under Colonel Best, was left near the furna that quarter. In the advance that evening by Jackson's corps, the Georgians of Colquitt's and Doles' brigades were at the front, while Thomas was with that line under A. P. Hill which Jackson ordecarried from the field. In the onslaught made by Jackson's corps that Saturday evening, May 2d, Doles' brigade advanced through a heavy fire of grape, canister and shell, captured a battery, drove te fight by a demonstration of Federal cavalry in flank, but reached the field in time to support Doles. Sunday morning it was sent from flank to flank, finally finding opportunity to take an importa

Doles' flank being threatened, Gordon made a gallant charge over oward's corps, was desperately wounded. This onset enabled Doles to advance against the flank of the Federals, who were stiling them to give up this important position to A. P. Hill. Doles kept on as rapidly as his tired men could go, hoping to cuthat Gordon was in a night attack on the second day, he and Doles did not take a conspicuous part in the subsequent struggle;ed, but he resumed command on the second and third days. Doles' brigade carried into action a total of 1,369 and lost 24 ky leading their regiments, the Fourth and Forty-fourth. General Doles mentioned with especial gratitude the services of Col.

Wright, Anttle of that day was desperate, each side holding its ground. The Georgians of Doles' and Gordon's brigades were the first to win success, regaining the ground lost Gordon, by a dashing charge, capturing several hundred prisoners and relieving Doles, who though hard pressed had held his ground. On the 6th of May it was upon h through dust and smoke, reached there in the evening. On the intrenched line Doles occupied one of the salients, and suffered severely from the assault on the 10th. But the remnant of Doles' brigade, supported by other commands, including Gordon's division, soon regained the works. Anderson at the same time repulsed a dire a mile beyond. In the same terrible fight the Georgia brigades of Wofford and Doles were engaged with great credit. On the 20th, General Gordon was put in comma
