ion, on May 27, that 2,000 of the enemy's cavalry were marching upon Burnsville. I immediately moved, with Lieut. Col. F. N. McNairy's battalion of Tennessee cavalry and one piece of artillery, to the vicinity of Burnsville, where I found Lieutenant-Colonel McCulloch and Captain Milner stationed, with 300 men. The command was placed in line of battle and remained in that position during the night. Next morning the enemy could not be heard from. About 10 a. m. Lieutenant Johnson, of Captain Roddey's company, arrived in camp, and reported that the enemy was at Iuka when he left that place, and that they were going to the Mobile Railroad to tear up the track, they being well provided with implements for that purpose. Upon this information I marched the entire command to Booneville that night consisting of Lieutenant-Colonels McNairy's and McCulloch's battalions and Captain Milner's cavalry (a portion of Colonel Forrest's regiment), in all about 400 men. Lieutenant-Colonel McCulloc

d. I will leave General George H. Thomas to command all my division behind me, and take with me only the best fighting material. But a few days later Sherman had made a radical change in his previous plan. He telegraphed Grant, from Rome, Georgia, November 1, as follows: As you foresaw, and as Jeff. Davis threatened, the enemy is now in the full tide of execution of his grand plan to destroy my communications and defeat this army. His infantry, about 30,--000, with Wheeler's and Roddey's cavalry, from 7000 to 10,000, are now in the neighborhood of Tuscumbia and Florence, and, the water being low, is able to cross at will. Forrest seems to be scattered from Eastport to Jackson, Paris, and the lower Tennessee; and General Thomas reports the capture by him of a gunboat and five transports. General Thomas has near Athens and Pulaski Stanley's corps, about 15,000 strong, and Schofield's corps, 10,000, en route by rail, and has at least 20,000 to 25,000 men, with new regiment

laced Companies A and F, Captains Steinmeyer and Sherard, under Captain Roddey, acting major, about a quarter of a mile in advance down the mountain, and instructed Roddey to deploy his companies, taking advantage of the woods, and to detain the enemy as long as he could, falling bacd, but not to lose his regiment. It was then about II o'clock, and Roddey was skirmishing heavily. Colonel Capers sent his adjutant-general, Holmes, to Roddey. Just as that officer had returned and was talking to the colonel, the enemy was heard to raise a shout from the direction of both flanks of Roddey's force, and suddenly the firing ceased. In a few minutes some men of Companies A and F, who had escaped capture, nd each flank of their line, and charging from the rear had cut off Roddey and most of his command. Soon after this the Federals came up the cers and about 40 men in this spirited skirmish at Ship's gap. Captains Roddey, Steinmeyer and Sherard and Lieutenant Gray were captured with

The different companies of the battalion served at times on distant fields of duty, in Tennessee, in north Mississippi and in Georgia. For instance, while R. Anderson's (formerly Thomas A. Dawson's) battery was in Georgia during the Atlanta campaign, Ferrell's battery was in north Mississippi under Roddey. The battalion did good and faithful service wherever called upon. The Eighteenth Georgia battalion, heavy artillery, served chiefly in Virginia in the defense of Richmond, doing its best service in the campaign of 1864. The Twenty-second Georgia battalion, siege artillery, had for officers the following: Lieut.-Col. Wm. R. Pritchard, Maj. John B. Gallie (killed), Adjt. J. J. Symons, Asst. Quartermaster H. R.

onfusion. But another part swept over Ross' dismounted men, capturing a number of men and horses, and at the same time Wheeler's command was attacked and repelled in confusion. The blow was returned successfully and Ross' loss was retrieved. The fight had lasted two hours and Wheeler had gained the Federal position and 400 prisoners, including three brigade commanders. General Anderson's brigade now came up, 400 strong, and while going into position Anderson was wounded. Soon afterward Roddey brought up 600 men. The enemy had taken a strong position in the edge of a wood behind a ravine, but Wheeler flanked them out and then pressed them on the retreat, cutting off and capturing two nearly entire regiments, with all their artillery and wagons. The pursuit continued for nearly four miles, during which many more prisoners were taken and the Confederate prisoners were recaptured. On the next day, 200 or 300 scattered Federals were gathered up in the woods. The remainder of the Fe

Colonel Lyon was detached from his own brigade and placetroops fought by fragments, so that brigades were worsted or sadly cut to pieces in detail. In the battle of the 14th, Roddey's division was placed on the right, Mabry's brigade on the left, Crossland's in the center, supported by Bell; Chalmers' e. At this point the Federals were strong in numbers, in an impregnable position. A new line was formed and occupied by Roddey and Crossland, and the battle was closed so far as they were concerned. Meantime Bell, Rucker and Mabry were steadily adof September, with Bell's and Lyon's brigades of Buford's division, Rucker's brigade, commanded by Col. D. C.
