Barr, King, and Sawyer were left at Saltville; Barr in command. To-day Lynch's battery, acting with Vaughan's brigade, was captured at Walter's bridge, most of the men and officers fortunately escaping. December 17th, 1864.—After marching all night over Iron (or Walker's) mountain, we arrived to-day at Marion, the county seat of Smyth county, Va., in Stoneman's rear. Thereupon he turned, and fighting—just east of Marion—began in the afternoon. While Lieutenant Graham, of Burroughs' battery, was making excellent shots with one of the captured Parrotts, it transpired that two of these guns were worthless, much to the disgust of General Cosby, who was present and saw some of his men almost shot in the back by them.

ieth regiment of Georgia volunteers reached the vicinity of Ringgold on the night of the 17th of September, 1863. Early on the morning of the 18th it moved along with the brigade to the suburbs of that place, and there remained until about sunset, when we were marched to a point near Reed's bridge, going into bivouac about 12 o'clock that night. The morning of the 19th we crossed at Reed's bridge, and, bearing to the left, took position in front of what I think was the position occupied by Walker's division of reserves. About 2 o'clock P. M. we advanced upon the enemy, and soon became hotly engaged. The enemy slowly gave way before us, for a distance of two miles or more, until our line had crossed, nearly at right angles, the main public road leading from Lafayette, Georgia, to Chattanooga, Tennessee. In the farther edge of this road, near a small framed house, had been planted a battery of four guns. The enemy succeeded in carrying back his cannon, caissons, etc., by hand, aft
