D., Ll.D., late C. S. A. The battle of Chickamauga was fought on the 19th and 20th of September, 1863. The incident I am about to narrate was associated with the movement, a week before this battle, to attack in detail the widely separated corps of the Federal army, which, crossing Lookout Mountain, had descended through three defiles from ten to twenty miles apart. Our division of cavalry (Martin's) was moved by a rapid, all-night march from near Lee and Gordon's Mills through Lafayette, Georgia, in the direction of Alpine. It was a tiresome ride, and although we did our best, it was slow work for a large body of cavalry stretched along a country road, at night, with here and there a narrow or defective bridge or causeway. We were the advance brigade, and I recall the fact that in the effort to get as much fun and frolic out of an uncomfortable situation as possible, a number of the best voices in the command had been gathered about the center of our regiment and were waki

at 7 o'clock P. M., and about two hours after nine of us were assigned to room 9, second floor. This room is about twelve feet by fourteen in size, and contained in one corner five sleeping berths or bunks, like those used in canal boats, one above the other, and about eighteen inches apart. The bunks are made of rough plank, three feet wide and six feet long. My comrades are Lieutenant James P. Arrington, A. D. C. of Forkland, Alabama; Captain M. Russell, Sixtieth Georgia infantry, Lafayette, Georgia; Captain J. G. Rankin, Thirty-eighth Georgia, Stone Mountain, Ga.; Lieutenant S. R. Murphy, Thirty-first Georgia, Hamilton, Georgia; Lieutenant Arthur Bryde, Fifth Louisiana, New Orleans, Louisiana; Lieutenant J. T. Bagby, Twenty-first Georgia, Troup county, Georgia; Adjutant W. B.

ed of the movements of the enemy. I expect, nevertheless, to rejoin him in a few days. * * * I remain, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, G. T. Beauregard, General. On the same day, October 12th, General Hood demanded the unconditional surrender of Resaca, which was refused; and, not wishing to lose time or sacrifice his men, he passed on, to continue breaking up the railroad. This he did successfully, as appears by the following message: nine miles South of Lafayette, Ga., Oct. 15th, 1864. General G. T. Beauregard: The army struck the communication of the enemy, about a mile above Resaca, on the 12th instant, completely destroying the railroad, including the block-houses from that point to within a short distance of Tunnel Hill, and about four miles of the Cleveland Railroad, capturing Dalton and all intermediate garrisons, with their stores and equipments, and about one thousand prisoners. The main body of Sherman's army seems to be moving towards
service. You will please issue accordingly all necessary orders to carry out the views of the President. Respectfully, your obedient servant, G. T. Beauregard. Major-Genl. Sam. Jones, Comdg. Dept. S. C., Ga., and Fla., Charleston, S. C. Jacksonville, Ala., Oct. 11th, 1864. Captain W. J. Bethune, Enrolling Officer, Jacksonville, Ala.: Captain,—General Beauregard directs that you take temporary command of this Post, and forward to the Army of Tennessee, at or in the vicinity of Lafayette, Ga., all the officers and men returning to the army, placing each detachment in command of a suitable officer, whose duty it will be to divide the command among the officers accompanying him. If convenient to the route, these commands ought to go via the iron-works at Round-top Mountain. There they can procure rations, and learn where the army is. You will call upon Major T. W. Francis, Commissary, to supply the men with rations. Respectfully, your obedient servant, A. R. Chisolm,
