In April, 18621 Colonel Olmstead, with Company H (the Oglethorpe Light Infantry The Oglethorpe Light Infantry of this regiment was originally a part of the company of that name which went with Bartow to Virginia and was assigned to the Eighth Georgia regiment.) and four companies from other commands, defended Fort Pulaski against the Federals under Gen. David Hunter, but was forced to surrender. The prisoners were soon exchanged and in service again. A detachment from this regiment also served a

The proximity of the Federal forces to the northern part of the State in the spring of 1862, was made manifest by the famous exploit of the Andrews raiders. This expedition was set on foot early in April at the suggestion of James J. Andrews, who had been for some time in the service of General Buell as a spy. Twenty-four men were detailed from Ohio regiments for Andrews' expedition, the place of one of whom was taken by a civilian, William Cawould not have taken, certainly would not have held, Chattanooga. . . . Hence, concludes the officer, it is my opinion that Mitchel's bridge burners took desperate chances to accomplish objects of no substantial advantage. In the same month of April, the Third Georgia infantry, Col. A. R. Wright, was distinguished in the fight at South Mills, N. C., on the 19th. The regiment had been withdrawn from Roanoke island in time to escape inevitable capture, and now met the Federals as they advanc

On April 24th he reported that he was ready except getting up McPherson's command from Cairo, mostly on furlough. He also stated his opinion that in the coming campaign Johnston would be compelled to hang to his railroad, the only possible avenue of supply to the Southern army, estimated from 45,000 to 65,000 men. Sherman's army numbered nearly 100,000 men. About the middle of April, Johnston sent his adjutant-general, Col. B. S. Ewell, to Richmond to state the situation and his own position of readiness to advance if he could be reinforced. But this mission did not result in definite arrangements. The Confederate army of Tennessee on May 1st was composed of two infantry corps, under Lieut.-Gen. William J. Hardee and Lieut.-Gen. John B. Hood, and one cavalry corps under Maj.-Gen. Joseph Wheeler. The organization of the corps was as follows: Hardee's corps: Majo

When Georgia seceded from the Union he resigned his commission in the army of the United States, and was appointed captain, corps of engineers, C. S. A. His first service was at Charleston, S. C. Early in March, at the call of the governor of Georgia, Captain Boggs and Major Whiting were sent to Savannah, and General Beauregard, regretting the loss of these two most reliable and efficient officers, earnestly requested their immediate return or the assignment of others of equal ability. In April, Captain Boggs was sent to the assistance of Bragg at Pensacola. His skill in mounting artillery on fortifications was highly praised by both Beauregard and Bragg. He was warmly commended by General Bragg, in his report of the fight on Santa Rosa island, for the close reconnoissances on which the expedition was based, and the secret and complete organization which insured its success. General Bragg, in a letter to Richmond in October, named Captain Boggs among others from whom the Preside
