rthy of commendation. He has served this regiment as chaplain with zeal and I believe with much usefulness, and besides in other respects he has contributed materially to the comfort and welfare of the regiment. J. H. Mcmurray, Colonel commanding Regiment. This testimonial was very unexpected, as the colonel was no Christian and a man of very few words. He was killed at the battle of Chickamauga, as were many of the officers and soldiers of that regiment. Captain Ross, of Coffee county, Tennessee, I found a very true Christian during all his stay in the army. Very few of the officers of that regiment made any profession of piety, but they treated me with due respect during my connection with the regiment. The Third Georgia Battalion, which soon after became the Thirty-seventh Georgia Regiment, was one of the noblest bodies of men with whom I came in personal contact during the war.

The picture of the rural solder's home is at this time but a picture of primitive life.

men, under Thomas. We may now expect an early advance by Sherman on Augusta or Macon, with a view of forcing Hood to return to Georgia. Hood did not take Decatur, as has been so positively stated, but marched around it and crossed the Tennessee near Tuscumbia. His new base of operations is near Tullahoma.
