I was at the time ill prepared to comply with the order, as I had been informed by Major-General Wilson, Chief of Cavalry, that my regiment had been ordered to report to him at Nashville, and to make my arrangements accordingly; part of my men were consequently lying at Chattanooga, partly dismounted and imperfectly clothed. After clothing them, I shipped the dismounted men, by General Kilpatrick's order, to Marietta, brought up the mounted men to Tunnel Hill, and on the twelfth November started from there with three hundred and fifty (350) mounted men for Marietta, leaving sixty (60) dismounted men, under Lieutenant Cochran, for whom no transportation could be procured.

I immediately ordered two (2) battalions forward at a trot, (Major Wolfley with his battalion having been sent in another direction, to destroy a bridge over Flint River,) and a moment afterward ordered a charge. Never did men obey an order with more alacrity or enthusiasm.

On the ninth day of November, while stationed at Tunnel Hill, Georgia, with part of my regiment, I received a telegram from Brigadier-General Kilpatrick, that my command had been assigned to his cavalry division, which was being organized at Marietta, Georgia; that a portion of my regiment, consisting of thrents accordingly; part of my men were consequently lying at Chattanooga, partly dismounted and imperfectly clothed. After clothing them, I shipped the dismounted men, by General Kilpatrick's order, to Marietta, brought up the mounted men to Tunnel Hill, and on the twelfth November started from there with three hundred and fifty (350) mounted men for Marietta, leaving sixty (60) dismounted men, under Lieutenant Cochran, for whom no transportation could be procured.

This gave us frd by night. 13th. Marched to Midway, at which place I was ordered to proceed with my regiment to Sunbury, on Sunbury River, also to send a battalion through Dorchester, a short distance from Midway. My command came upon a few rebels; these were driven back upon another party, the whole numbering probably forty men. I ordered d in fact every thing which could impede them in their progress behind them. On reaching the forks of the road, Captain Glore's battalion pressed rapidly on to Dorchester, scattering as he went the remainder of company B, Twenty-ninth Georgia battalion.

In this affair, the regiment met with no loss. From Macon, our march was harassed by the enemy's cavalry under General Wheeler, with whom we had occasional skirmishing, and on the twenty-eighth November, General Kilpatrick made a stand, building a strong line of breast-works, at a place known as the White House, and awaited the approach of the enemy. Here my command was posted, one battalion mounted as a reserve, under Major Bowles, and two battalions dismounted in the centre, supporting the artillery. The enemy charged in column along the road on our front and left, and in line in our front and right, but were repulsed twice by our line of skirmishers, thrown out four hundred (400) yards in our advance, commanded by Sergeant (now Lieutenant) Briner. I beg leave to say that this line behaved
