ns, organized in east Tennessee under Gen. Seth M. Barton, and thence transferred to Mississippi to meet the invasions under Grant and Sherman, took a conspicuous part in the defeat of Sherman by the Confederate forces under the command of Gen. Stephen D. Lee. This brigade was composed of the Fortieth regiment, Col. Abda Johnson; the Forty-second, Col. R. J. Henderson; the Forty-third, Lieut.-Col. Hiram P. Bell, and the Fifty-second, Col. C. D. Phillips. The brigade took position at the Indiatempted to mine. The Georgians and Louisianians, said General Pemberton, behaved with distinguished courage and steadiness throughout. At this point the enemy did not give up his attack until nightfall. On the right, during the attack on General Lee, a portion of the Federal line of assault was gallantly repulsed by the Forty-second Georgia and Twenty-eighth Louisiana. General Pemberton included among the regiments entitled to the highest distinction the Fortieth, Forty-second and Fifty-s

White, (D) J. F. Geev. A company of Georgia cavalry, commanded by Capt. T. M. Nelson (killed), succeeded by Gill Ragland, was in the Kentucky campaign and was greatly distinguished at the battle of Richmond in that State. Afterward it was sent to north Mississippi, and from that time acted as Gen. Stephen D. Lee's escort. Culberson's battalion State guards cavalry, Col. A. B. Culberson, included the companies of Capts. (A) T. A. Sharpe, (B) J. B. Rogers, (C) J. M. Easterling, (D) William Mahan, (F) J. Jones. The officers of Stephens' cavalry battalion were: Maj. John T. Stephens, Capts. (A) B. G. Lockett, (B) J. W. Ellis, (C) J. R. Banks, (D) C. F. Redding. The Ninth battalion Georgia light guards, or Macon ordnance guards battalion, Col. Patrick Mell, Maj. H. T. Price, was composed of the

Lee on the left bore alone for some time the Federal assaults, and when they were forced to yielsecond, Col. C. D. Phillips—all of Gen. Seth Barton's brigade. These ten Georgia regiments, with Lee's four Alabama regiments, practically fought the battle against what General Stevenson reported was an army of four divisions, numbering from their own statements, about 25,000 men. Cumming and Lee gallantly repulsed for some time the enemy's assaults, and being pushed back finally rallied on take no effective pursuit. Ewell's corps led the way in the forward movement of the army of General Lee in the invasion of Pennsylvania, first taking the fortified post of Winchester, Va., with 23 heavy skirmishing during July 2d and 3d on the Confederate left wing. Gordon's brigade, after Lee's withdrawal on the night of the 4th, was rear guard of the corps. On the 5th it held the enemy

and of his gallant division of Hardee's corps. Lee went on duty on the 26th, and with his corps heaggressive movements by Jackson, sent orders to Lee if the enemy should make an assault upon the le. The engagement continued until dark.

In his report General Lee stated that he delayed his attack after he night he received an order from Hood to return Lee's corps to Atlanta, also Reynolds' brigade, and later in the morning of the 2d.

Hood's return for September 10th showed an effective total of 8,417 in Hardee's corps, 7,401 in Lee's, 8,849 in Stewart's, aggregate 24,667 infantry. Jackson had 3,794 effective cavalry, and Wheeler was in north Alabama. The artillery with the army included 3,38at Sherman was doubtless en route to the sea, thence to reinforce Grant, and he instructed Hood that he should promptly crush Thomas in middle Tennessee, to relieve Lee. On the 24th, Wayne reported to General McLaws that the Federals were shelling him at Oconee bridge, but he kept up a gallant fight till night, holding one end oederacy in the West. In the ill-fated army that marched into Tennessee under General Hood, there were four brigades of Georgians, and parts of two others. In S. D. Lee's corps were Cumming's brigade—the Thirty-sixth, Thirty-fourth, Thirty-ninth and Fifty-sixth regiments—of Stevenson's division; and Stovall's brigade—the Fortiet<

nd report to General Pemberton in Mississippi. There he took command of a brigade composed of the Thirty-fourth, Thirty-fifth, Thirty-ninth, Fifty-sixth and Fifty-seventh Georgia regiments. These gallant men had their first serious fighting at the battle of Baker's Creek, where a crushing defeat was sustained by General Pemberton, upon whom battle was forced at a time when he did not have his army in position to make even a creditable defense against overwhelming forces. The brigades of S. D. Lee, Barton and Cumming, though they twice rallied and fought with great gallantry, were broken and compelled to leave the field. During the subsequent siege of Vicksburg, General Cumming and his brigade performed their part and endured their share of the suffering with credit. Lieutenant-Colonel Grayton, of Barkaloo's regiment, was especially distinguished as a leader of night attacks upon the enemy's battery before the brigade. After the capitulation the brigade was paroled with the other
