‘ [177] you to the end.’ Of all the noble bands of Tennesseeans who once swelled the ranks of the army, there was just a sufficient number remaining to organize four regiments. The First was composed of the First, Sixth, Eighth, Ninth, Sixteenth, Twenty-seventh, Twenty-eighth and Thirty-fourth (consolidated), Col. Hume R. Feild, Lieut.-Col. Oliver A. Bradshaw, Maj. W. D. Kelly. The Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Twenty-ninth, Forty-seventh, Fiftieth, Fifty-first and One Hundred and Fifty-fourth (consolidated), constituted the Second, Col. Horace Rice, Lieut.-Col. George W. Pease. The Fourth, Fifth, Nineteenth, Twenty-fourth, Thirty-first, Thirty-third, Thirty-fifth, Thirty-eighth and Forty-first (consolidated), constituted the Third Tennessee, Col. James D. Tillman. The Second, Third, Tenth, Fifteenth, Eighteenth, Twentieth, Twenty-sixth, Thirtieth, Thirty-second, Thirty-seventh and Forty-fifth, and Twenty-third battalion, constituted the Fourth Tennessee, Col. Anderson Searcy. The four regiments constituted one brigade, and Brig.-Gen. Joseph B. Palmer was assigned to its command. This, with Gist's South Carolina and Georgia brigade, Col. William G. Foster commanding, constituted a division, commanded by Maj.-Gen. B. F. Cheatham. Maj.-Gen. John C. Brown was placed in command of Cleburne's division. Lieutenant-General Stewart resumed command of his army corps, and no other general officer from Tennessee was assigned to duty. The army continued the march from the 10th, through Raleigh, crossed the Haw and Alamance rivers, on the 15th making a march of 15 miles; marched 12 miles on the 16th on the New Salem road and bivouacked. Richmond had been evacuated, the army of Northern Virginia under General Lee had surrendered, and on the 17th Johnston's army was confronted by overwhelming numbers. The troops were excited and full of suspense, but never more alert or obedient to orders. On the 19th it was known that a truce had been agreed upon by the commanding generals
