by Sherman, and Howard going still further, drove away the plucky Confederate cavalry and artillery at Shoal creek, saved the Flint river bridge, and on the night of August 30th took and began intrenching a position a half mile from Jonesboro. On the same night Hood called his corps commanders in consultation, and finally determined to send Hardee's and Lee's corps, under Hardee, that night to Jonesboro to drive the Federals across Flint river. This, I hoped, Hood says in his report of February, 1865. would draw the attention of the enemy in that direction, and that he would abandon his works on the left, so that I could attack him in flank. I remained with Stewart's corps and the militia in Atlanta. Hardee immediately put his corps in motion, under the gallant Cleburne, but of course he was too late. Hardee in person reached Jonesboro by rail from Atlanta by daylight, but his corps encountered the enemy in force on the road it was instructed to take, and was compelled to open

Brigadier-General Iverson in command of 1, 500 cavalry operated on the Georgia side of the Savannah during the advance of Sherman and kept on guard against raids into Georgia. Gen. Joseph Wheeler performed a great service when he defeated Kilpatrick at Aiken, February, 1865, and thus saved Augusta from the fate of Atlanta and Columbia. At Averasboro Wheeler defeated a movement of the enemy upon Hardee's right flank, and covered the retreat when Hardee withdrew. In the engagement at Rivers' bridge, February 3d, the Thirty-second and Forty-seventh regiments, Fifth reserves and Earle's battery, under Lieutenant-Colonel Bacon, were engaged and suffered a loss of 97 killed, wounded and missing.

He was also in command on John's island, during the fight which continued for several days, and in all these positions manifested great ability and stubborn valor. After the fall of Fort Wagner, he was transferred to Christ Church parish, with headquarters at Mount Pleasant, and he remained at that post for some time, part of his command garrisoning the ruins of Fort Sumter, where the Confederate flag still floated until February, 1865. During part of 1864 he was in command at Florence, S. C., where he built a stockade for Federal prisoners, and had charge of about 25,000 captives, who were so humanely treated under his directions, that when Savannah fell, the family of General Harrison, then residing in that city, was specially mentioned for protection in the general orders of the Federal commander. In February, 1864, Colonel Harrison took a conspicuous part in the campaign in Florida against the Federals under Sey
