pets, that there was many a gallant and noble fellow among them. I remember on one occasion that I was detailed to report to a Captain of the Fourth Tennessee Regiment (Colonel Farquharson, called "Guidepost,"); I have forgotten that Captain's name. He was a small-sized man, with a large, long set of black whiskers. He was the Captain, and I the Corporal of the detail. We were ordered to take a company of the Georgia militia on a scout. We went away around to our extreme right wing, passing through Terry's mill pond, and over the old battle-field of the 22nd, and past the place where General Walker fell, when we came across two ladies.

That Georgia militia, every man of them, charged forward, and in a few moments we ran into a small squad of Yankees, and captured the whole "lay out." We then carried back to camp the dead Captain and the killed and wounded militia.

They were buried with all the honors of war, and I never will forget the incidents and scenes of this day as long as I live.
