g the siege of Savannah. The Bartow Artillery, under Capts. T. D. Bertody and A. C. Dunn, formed a part of the Twenty-second Georgia battalion, the sketch of which has already been given. The Massenburg battery, commanded by Capts. T. E. Massenburg and G. G. Dure, served for a time in the army of Tennessee, then was sent to Mobile and participated in the final operations about that city. Palmer's Artillery was commanded by Capts. M. W. Harris, R. W. Anderson and J. H. Yates. Capt. John Milledge's battery had the honor of taking part in all the campaigns of the army of Northern Virginia from Seven Pines to Appomattox, making a record which gave the battery great fame throughout the army. The Chatham Artillery, under Capts. J. F. Wheaton and J. S. Claghorn in succession, served in the department of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. It participated in the defense of Battery Wagner at Charleston, in the battle of Olustee in Florida, in the defense of Savannah in December,

al McLaws. One of Carlton's guns on this occasion was commanded by Lieut. W. F. Anderson of Ells' battery. These, with batteries from other States, 48 guns in all, were under command of Col. Henry Coalter Cabell. The fire of these guns upon the charging columns of the enemy was, according to the reports of the officers commanding on both sides, very destructive to the Federals, as was also that of the guns on Marye's heights, under command of Lieut.-Col. E. P. Alexander, of Georgia. Capt. John Milledge's battery of eight rifled guns was sent to the support of Jackson's wing, and according to the report of Gen. W. N. Pendleton, was useful on the river, and with Major Pelham in his successful dash upon the enemy when menacing our right flank. Of the batteries of Captains Lane and Ross, General Pendleton says that theirs, as of best guns, were most in requisition and rendered most service. Capt. G. M. Patterson's battery (B of the Sumter battalion), with one section of Ross', under M

ellorsville were: Sumter battalion, Lieut.-Col. A. S. Cutts, (A) Ross' battery, (B) Patterson's battery, (C) Wingfield's battery; Fraser's battery (Pulaski artillery) and Carlton's battery (Troup artillery), of Col. H. C. Cabell's battalion; and Milledge's battery of Col. William Nelson's battalion. Wingfield's and Milledge's batteries were in reserve and not actively engaged.

The others were in the thickest of the fight. Capt. John Lane's battery (E), of the Sumter battalion, was at this time on detached service in North Carolina. As this history chiefly concerns the part taken by Georgians, we will not detail here the general circumstances of this famous battle—the crossing of the Rappahannock river near Chancellorsville by the United States army under Hooker, the brilliant flank movement of Jackson's corps, the rout of Howard's corps, the fatal wounding of Jackson after dark by his own men, the successful attack on Sunday under J. E. B. Stuart, the tenacious defense of Frederi

e brigade of Ambrose R. Wright, Anderson's division, and the brigade of Edward L. Thomas, Wilcox's division. Callaway's and Carlton's Georgia batteries were in the artillery of Longstreet's corps, commanded by a Georgian, Gen. E. P. Alexander. Milledge's battery was with the Second corps, and an entire artillery battalion from Georgia under Col. A. S. Cutts was with A. P. Hill. In the cavalry, Georgia was represented by a brigade under Gen. P. M. B. Young, containing the Seventh regiment, Colly advanced again, and for two days, November 11th and 12th, confronted Sheridan's whole force north of Cedar creek without being attacked. He even sent out expeditions, which captured prisoners and guns. In all these movements of Early, Capt. John Milledge's battery, of Nelson's battalion, participated, doing with gallantry and fidelity whatever was required of them. In the engagement following the mine explosion at Petersburg, July 30, 1864, Wright's Georgia brigade was conspicuous. Cor
