street and Jackson threw their forces to the relief of A. P. Hill, and defeated the Federal army. The Eighteenth Georgia, under Lieut.-Col. S. Z. Ruff, took part in the famous assault of Hood's brigade, losing 16 killed and 126 wounded. Among the killed and mortally wounded were Lieutenants Dowton, McCulloch, Cone and Jones. Of Colquitt's brigade Gen. D. H. Hill said: The Sixth and Twenty-seventh Georgia, of this brigade, commanded by those pure, brave, noble, Christian soldiers, Lieut.-Col. J. M. Newton and Col. Levi B. Smith, behaved most heroically, and maintained their ground when half their number had been struck down. Lawton's brigade of the Stonewall division went into action about 5 o'clock in the evening, moving forward in perfect order through the woods and miry soil, guided only by the sound of the firing. In the midst of the wood, said General Lawton, I met Major-General Ewell, then hotly engaged, who, as he saw this long line advancing under fire, waved his sword an

e made to rally them in the bed of an old road (nearly at right angles to the Hagerstown pike) which had been their position previous to the advance. These efforts, however, were only partially successful. Most of the brigade took no further part in the action. Here the gallant Colonel Barclay, who had just achieved hearty plaudits by his service at South Mountain, was killed. On the same field of carnage ended the lives of Col. Levi B. Smith, of the Twenty-seventh Georgia, and Lieut.-Col. J. M. Newton and the modest and heroic Maj. P. Tracy, of the Sixth. The lamented Capt. W. F. Plane, of the same regiment, said Hill, deserved special mention. Of him it could be truly said that he shrank from no danger, no fatigue and no exposure. Maj. Robert S. Smith, Fourth Georgia, fell fighting most heroically. He had received a military education and gave promise of eminence in his profession. Capt. N. J. Garrison, commanding the Twenty-eighth; Lieut.-Col. C. T. Zachry, Twenty-seventh;

ogan lost seven regimental commanders. The heaviest fighting was in front of Thomas, who sent forward two columns—one, Newton's division supported by Stanley; the other, Davis' division supported by Baird. One of these attacks, near the southwestw there and Stanley's division above, after stubborn fighting, and were moved eastward to connect with Schofield, leaving Newton's division at the crossing place. Parts of Hooker's and Palmer's corps also crossed, Palmer meeting with considerable rered 150 prisoners and two flags. On the 20th, Thomas was comparatively isolated, with Hooker's and Palmer's corps and Newton's division of Howard's, perhaps 30,000 to 35,000 men, partly north of Peachtree creek. Hood embraced the opportunity to hickets, and was so far to the east of Thomas' line, that his advance was not effective. Walker struck the east flank of Newton's position, where the Federal line was partly intrenched with rails and logs, and his vigorous assault soon alarmed Thom
