-to-hand struggle. The enemy at first had considerably the advantage of numbers, and boldly met the charge. The men of the Ninth Texas, having discharged their guns, and not being provided with sabers or pistols, began to waver, when the charge of General Jackson's escort and the opportune arrival of the Sixth Texas under its brave Lieut.-Col. P. F. Ross, restored confidence and forced the enemy from the field. Subsequently Ross' brigade joined in the pursuit under General Wheeler, and at Newnan, when the battle was momentarily going against Wheeler, Ross' Texans, dismounted, made a gallant charge which drove the enemy back. At the same time the Federals by a dash got between Ross and his horses. Without halting to consider, the command to about face and move back was promptly given, and as promptly obeyed. The struggle was a desperate one, and only after an hour's hard fighting were our efforts crowned with success, the enemy again repulsed, and our horses recaptured and saved.

e Rangers, under Colonel Harrison, had their full share of the hardships and perils, and always acquitted themselves creditably. Colonel Harrison at the battle of Chickamauga commanded the old brigade of General Wharton, then in command of a division. When Sherman sent out McCook and Stoneman on their famous raiding expeditions around Atlanta, Colonel Harrison's brigade formed part of the force under General Wheeler which broke up McCook's column, and gained a splendid victory over them at Newnan; capturing about 1,000 and routing the balance, who were scattered in every direction. When, after the fall of Atlanta, Hood started into Tennessee, Harrison's brigade, with the rest of Wheeler's cavalry, accompanied him until Forrest with his fine command joined the army of Tennessee. Then Wheeler took the larger part of his command and moved back into Georgia, for the purpose of protecting the country, as far as possible, from the raids of Sherman's cavalry and bummers.
