Repeated attempts had been made to destroy the bridges and break the railroad communication between Savannah and Charleston, all of which had been signally repulsed.

In the forts and batteries, and on the islands surrounding the harbor, the effective force amounted to 12,856.

Captain Pinckney was sent to the latter point, whence a month later he was included in an exchange of 100 sick and wounded made by Generals Jones and Foster, and he was landed in Charleston December 15, 1864. In April following, hearing that an order had been published declaring all prisoners on parole exchanged, he hastened to rejoin his regiment. General Hampton was now in command of the cavalry of General Johnston's army at Smithfield, N. C. He found his company, which he had left
