Thus every necessary precaution was taken to prevent the enemy from penetrating the country. The Fourth Georgia cavalry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Harris, was quartered at Waldo, to be ready when necessary to unite with the cavalry force under Col. R. H. Anderson, who was to operate upon the right flank of the enemy in case of a general advance of the enemy upon the front. While these preparations were under way, a request was made by General Gardner for Colonel Scott's battalion, but the exigencies of the service did not admit of compliance. No troops could be spared from the seat of war, therefore a detachment of the siege train was ordered to guard the Aucilla trestle, and Caper's battalion, Wimberly's company and two infantry companies were posted at the Suwannee bridge to prevent depreda-tions in middle Florida.

I continued to his my ship close along the breakers of Long Island Beach, until up with Captor's Inlet, when the ship steam being within a miles and a half, distant, opened on me, and the one ahead, although within a mile distant, fire and headed immediately in for the point of breakers which I had to clear to save my ship. This I saw impossible to be done, and decided at once to try and get into Caper's insist or beach the ship. Although the wind was blowing strong from the northeast, and breakers running high, I deemed it better to try to save my people among Clends, at the risk of drowning, than risk a Yankee prison. The boats were lowered, therefore, to put the people on shore.

He then burnt the railroad bridges over Little Caper, over Potomac Creek, Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and over Everet's Creek, near Cumberland, made two crevasses in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal that can't be filled in two months; burnt all the depots, water-tanks and stationary engines between Caper and Cumberland, captured thirty or forty prisoners, sixty or seventy horses, and sent out over five hundred fat cattle. On the 17th, Col. George, of Imboden command, drove a Yankee battalion out of Cumberland by shelling them in the streets, and the Mayor surrendered the city to "our boys." Kelly, commander of the Yankee cavalry, was there, but made his escape on an engine which was stopped about eight miles from town by a break in the road made by our men. Citizens state that here he j
