PREFACE.
The purpose of this publication is to put beyond the accident of destruction by fire, and the yet more likely accident of loss through neglect and carelessness of such as are generally charged with care and custody of records, the ROLL OF THE "GEORGIA HUS SARS," so far as it has been compiled.
In 1859 when the effort was first made to prepare such a roll, there were no records in hand, of a date anterior to the books of the sec retary and treasurer, then in use. This effort first took shape in the form of a letter of interrogatories addressed to the then surviving members of the company, several of whom had been members as far back as 1812. The full and explicit responses supplied a skeleton roll of much interest and great value. This information was sup plemented from the files of the Savannah Republican* covering the period from 1802 to 1859. and was greatly enlarged by a full tran script of every mention of the volunteer soldiers of Savannah. The record as thus compiled, was in July. i?6r, transferred to my suc cessor as secretao, and having disappeared, is supposed to have been destroyed, as an incident of the capture of Savannah in Decem ber, 1864. Fortunately a rough skeleton copy of the roll remained in my possession and was in hand after the War, and upon this as a basis I have builded as best I could. With renewal of purpose soon after the War, to improve and add to this roll earnest search was instituted, by reference to all the Histories of Georgia, and every publication (at hand) that might contribute information, and to many manuscripts in both public and private possession. In the prosecution of this work many memoranda were made touching the origin and existence of a "mounted command," and as the publica tion of the information thus obtained was not then contemplated, these memoranda were made and phraseology used, and are incor porated in the "Historical Sketch" which is appended, without due credit.
The reader familiar with Georgia history will readily recognize such when not duly credited and will, I hope, kindly relieve me of a purpose to plagiarize.
I trust th: s sketch may prove of some interest to the troop. There is no attempt to recite gallant individual exploit or relate splendid achievement of the command (saving- what appears in appendices "C" and "D"). Let it suffice, to record that the Hussars were of the command of Stuart, Hampton and Wheeler, and therefore share in the distinction which those eminent soldiers attained. The brief
*It Is sorely to be regretted that the flies of the Republican were allowed to be pur chased and moved away from the cftv.
itineraries succeeding the rolls of Co. A and Co. B give a condensed statement of some of the service rendered. .
The roll is certainly of value, and may justify an honorable pride in the fact that it contains the names of many citizens who held eminent position in the community, the state and the nation.
In the history of the community it was for many years recognized as an honorable duty incumbent upon its citizens to become members of one of the several companies of the city, and men of every pro fession and artisans of every calling cultivated the patriotic purpose to be "prepared at all times to defend his (their) country from dan ger." Men of wealth and leisure as well as men of lesser means and of toil, vied with each other side and side in ranks, in effort to "ac quire that military knowledge which is absolutey necessary in case of war." Subsequent illistration of the value of such service is amply supplied in the career of such men when the exactions of War were put upon them.
The photographs interspersed are, many of them, copies of por traits and daguerreotypes representing the individuals as of an age many years after active service, but they preserve the personality of prominent citizens, once enthusiastic Hussars.
I regret the failure to obtain others for which application has been vainly made. Still more to be regretted is my inability to present and preserve the physiognomy of more of the men of Companies "A" and "B" who gallantly upheld the prestige of the command, and received well merited compliments of immediate commanders and unstinted praise from comrades of other commands.*
As a whole, tins publication must appear somewhat incoherent, and upon the reader falls the task of adjusting many-of the facts into orderly sequence. For me to make such adjustment in fuller rela tion would extend the volume of the record into volumes. I felt it necessary to condense; have endeavored to do so. I have strenuously sought to avoid errors. It has been to me a pleasure to bring to gether the facts herein contained, and if there be errors and omis sions, they could not well be avoided.

LEGEND.
At its regular Quarterly meeting, held the first week in January, '1861, (at its drill room, northwest corner, third story of "City Ex change" building), the troop made tender of its services to the Gov ernor of the State of Georgia, asking to be placed first on the list for acceptance. In said month it did a tour of duty dismounted at "Fort Pulaski," serving as heavy Artillery, and during the month of June in its capacity as cavalry on "SkicJaway Island." It made like proffer of service to "President Davis" on inauguration of the Con federate Government at Montgomery, Ala., in February, 1861, fur ther proposing to put itself in Richmond, Va., fully equipped, free of cost to the Government. In response to this last proffer" the very laconic and imbecile reply was sent by L. P. Walker, the first Con federate Secretary of War: "Got no use for cavalry." The incompetency of the administering head of the War Department thus con fessed was a forecast of the untoward end of the South's effort to establish its separate independence. On the night of July 2ist, 1861, the day of the battle of "Bull Run," when it was sadly compre hended by the Confederate authorities that they had failed to fully realize the fruits of victory because of the inadequacy of its cavalry force, the following telegram was received by the writer (who was at that date secretary of the troop): "I have the assurance of Col. Northrop that the President will accept the services of the Hussars upon the terms originally proposed." Signed, "John P. W. Read." and dated from Richmond, Va. Col. Northrop was Commissary General of the "Confederate States" and a close personal friend of President Davis. Capt. Read was Captain of the Hussars when they made tender of service, and on refusal of same he resigned this office to accept Captaincy of the "Pulaski Guards" of Savannah, which company was sent to Virginia to constitute a part of the "Tenth Georgia Infantry," Col. L. McLaws. Becoming subsequently an artil lery officer, promoted Major and Lieut. Colonel, he acquired distinc-

tion as such in the "Army of Northern Virginia," and as Chief of Ar tillery lost his right arm in the defense of "Fort Fisher," Wilmington, N. C. (So much of record in due meed to a gallant soldier and ele gant gentleman.) Proceeding immediately in response to this ac ceptance to make ready, the troop at a meeting which was held to take action upon the above telegram, as a preliminary step resolved, that such officers and men of the troop as it then existed, together with recruits obtained, as might go to Virginia, were to be designated as "Co. A" of the Hussars, and that the remaining members, together with such recruits as they might obtain, were to be known as "Co. B" of the Hussars. The resulting details of these organizations are of record in company archives, and that of Cos. A and B attached hereto.
Early in August "Co. A" was ready to move forward to Virginia, but it was interrupted by orders from Joseph E. Brown, Governor of Georgia, forbidding their departure, or otherwise the return of all State arms and equipment. Coupled with the order was the state ment that he, the Governor, had the assurance of President Davis that he would refuse acceptance of any troops from Georgia bearing State arms, unless their tender of service met his, the Governor's approval. Entertaining, nevertheless, a resolute purpose to go for ward, the State arms were surrendered, and industrious effort made to find arms and equipment elsewhere. This imposed delay in de parture until Sept. 17, 1861, upon which date it left Savannah by the Charleston "and Savannah Railway for Richmond, Va. To comply with its proffer to put itself in Richmond free of cost to the Gov ernment, imposed an expenditure of near Twenty-five Thousand ($23,000) Dollars. The measure and character of service subse quently rendered are partially set forth in the following condensed form:
ITINERARY.
In compliance with Special Order No. 179 under date of Sept. 4, l86Vfrom the Adjt. and Ins. Gen. Dept. "Co. A," Georgia Hussars, left Savannah for Charleston, S. C., at which point they were hand somely entertained by the "South Carolina Rangers," Capt. R. J. Jeffords. Left the cars at Petersburg, Va., and encamped at "Fair Grounds," where they remained for three or four days, receiving in that place' many kind attentions from the ladies and other citizens. From thence the horses were led to Richmond, the comvand pro ceeding by rail, going into camp near the Reservoir, where they re mained until Oct. I/, 1861. In consideration of the fact that the company had placed itself in the field thoroughly equipped in every detail (except field transportation) the government extended to them choice of assignment to one of two regiments of Virginia Cavalry
272
(whose organization was yet incomplete) viz.: the Fourth Virginia Cavahy, Col. Beverley Robertson, and the Sixth Virginia Cavalry, Col. Charles W. Field. The officers of the company were unani mously in favor of the latter and on the I7th of October, 1861, the troop left Richmond and marched via Ashland and Fredericksburg for "Manassas," reporting to Col. Field, at "Camp Letcher," and was designated Co. E of that regiment, and were assigned to'the right of the regiment. Soon thereafter the cavalry attached to the Army (then commanded by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston), viz.: the First Virginia, Fourth Virginia, Sixth Virginia, First North Carolina and the Jeff Davis Legion, were brigaded under com mand of Brigadier General J. E. B. Stuart, and the regimental flag of the Sixth Virginia Regiment, and the only Confederate Flag ol the occasion, was that of the Georgia Hussars (stars and bars, still in preservation and in possession of the troop), on the first parade and review of the brigade near Centreville, Va. Early in December, viz.: on Dec. 13, 1861, under Special Order No. 260, Adjt. and Ins. Gen., Dept C. S. A., the Hussars were transferred to the Jeff Davis Legion, (Major William T. Martin commanding), composed of three Mississippi companies, viz.: Co. A, the "Adams Troop," Capt. W. E. Connor, from Natchez, Miss.; Co. B, the "Chickasaw Ran gers," Capt. ------ Gordon, from Chickasaw County, Miss.; Co. C., the ----------------, Capt. Perrin, from Kemper County, Miss.; Co. D., the ------------, Capt. John Stone, from Selma, Ala.; Co. E, the ------------ Capt. ---------- Tayloe, from Marengo County, Ala. The Hussars were designated Co. F, and constituting the battalion, one of six (6) companies secured to Major William T. Martin his pro motion to Lieut. Colonel. On December 16. the company was i!etached for duty with the Infantry Brigade of Gen. R. E. Rodes. near Davis Ford, on the Occoquon river, on right flank of the army commanded by Gen. J. E. Johnston. In January, 1862, the company was recalled from this service and joined the battalion in winter quarters at Fauquier, White Sulphur Springs, near Warrenton, Va. In April the battalion left the Springs and proceeded to march via Madison C. H. for Richmond and the peninsular of Virginia, and established camp April --. 1862, at -------------- Mill, near Yorktown, where the various regiments constituting the brigade of cav alry were, for the first time brought together in camp, having prior to this date been severally detached on isolated duty along the front of the army ft^-tioned at Centreville.
From this c"ate to the close of the war in May, 1865, the Hussars continued to be a part of the "First Brigade of Cavalry," which be came subsequently the First Brigade of the First Division of the Corps of Cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia. The itinerary cf the brigade is the itinerary of the company, under its successive commanders Brig. Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, Brig. Gen. Wade Hampton, Brig. Gen. M. C. Butler, Brig. Gen. P. M. B. Young, and Brig. Gen. Gideon J. Wriglit.

The first field officers of the Jeff Davis Legion were William T. Martin (formerly Captain of Co. A and Major of the Legion), Lieut. Colonel; and John Stone (formerly Captain of Co. D) Major. Colonel Martin being promoted Brigadier General --------, 1863, and assigned to the "Department of Tennessee," and Major Stone resign ing in January, 1863, Captain J. Frederick Waring of Co. F (Georgia Hussars), was promoted Lieut. Colonel, and \Vm. E. Connor (Cap tain of Co. A), was promoted Major. Previous to these promotions Captain Gordon of "B" Co; Captain Perrin of "C" Co., and Tayloe of "E" Co., had resigned. Major Connor was killed at Gettysburg, and was succeeded by Captain Ivey F. Lewis of "E" Co. (who had succeeded Tayloe in command of that company). In the summer of 1864 the Legion was increased to nine companies by the addition of three (3) companies from North Alabama (organized by Gen. Pil low), which became companies G, H and I, Captains Andrew P. Love, B. B. McKenzie and G. A. Roberts. The names of companies and places of locality not remembered. In the winter of 1864 (on the disintegration of Millen's Battalion, (the Twentieth Georgia), which had arrived in Virginia in May; 1864. the Legion was still further in creased to the number of ten (10) companies by the addition of the second company of the Liberty Independent Troop, Captain Ben. Screven, from that Battalion, and from Liberty County, Georgia, which became Company "K" of the "Jeff Davis Legion," and con stituted, with the Hussars, the Georgia Squadron of the Jeff Davis Legion*, the other squadrons, the five (5) Alabama and three (3) Mississippi companies. From the date of its organization Richard E. Connor of Natchez, Miss., was Lieutenant and Adjutant of the Legion. Dr. Wm. M. McPheeters was its first surgeon, and was suc ceeded in -------- by Dr. Orrick Metcalf of Natchez, Miss. Dr. Durden, of ---------------- County, Virginia, was appointed assistant surgeon in ------------, 1864. R. Miller McCIellan was appointed Captain and A. Q. M. with Zeb Hearst, of Mississippi, as Commis sary Sergeant.
On account of the loss of Muster Rolls which were destroyed by fire on the evacuation of Richmond. Va.. in 1865. and other records in the untoward conclusion of the Confederate struggle, we are with out full information as to the number of engagements with the enemy in which the Hussars look part, exceeding one hundred, how ever. The succeeding recitation will give record to the fact that they were not idle spectators of the strife.
In 1861.
With the exception of some slight reconnoitering, the only engage ment of this year was that arising out of the ambuscade, at "Bog Wallow," on the "Braddock Road," Va., and within three miles of Burke's Station, on the night of Dec. 4, 1861.

Under the resolution of the Company, such members of the same as went to Virginia with recruits they might obtain was to be known as Company "A" of the Hussars. The remaining Roll of the Com pany with such recruits as they should obtain to be known as Com pany "B." Many members of the Company had previous to the adoption of this resolution connected themselves with other com panies without resigning from it, the same not being required of them. They are, therefore, accounted for on this Roll. When, however, "B" enlisted in Confederate service Nov. 23, 1861, their names could no longer appear on the Roll of "B" company. They continued, however, members of the Hussars until April 30, 1872, when a list was made up of such as were entitled to be recognized as members.

These eighty-three (83) men (who (5id not enlist with either "A" or "B" company), did not submit any resignation of membership, nor was it required, and they continued to be members of the Hussars until April 30, 1872, when by resolution adopted at a meeting on that date, it was declared who were entitled to continue and be recognized as members. It was optional with the individuals of said list to con tinue or cease membership. (See Minute Book, March 7, 1868, to July II, 1881).
Although in July. 1861, officers were elected for two Regiments of Cavalry, it does not appear that they were ever fully organized, and instead of them, two Battalions were formed of the troops formerly in the First Squadron (commanded by Major P. H. Behn), and of additional companies but recently organized. The First Battalion consisted of the Liberty Independent Troop, the Liberty Guards, the Mclntosh Light Dragoons and the Glynn Guards (?), and was com manded by Lieut. Colonel Charles Spalding. The Second Bat talion consisted of the Effingham Hussars, Capt. Ed. Bird, as Co. "A;" the Bulloch Troop, Capt. Best, as Co. "C;" the Screven Troop, Capt Conner, as "B;" the Blue Caps, Capt. I. M. Marsh, as Co. "E;" the Georgia Hussars ("B"). Capt. Wiltberger. as Co. "D;" the "Chatham Light Horse," Capt. Akin, as Co. "F," and was com manded by Lieut. Colonel Montgomery Gumming.
In the winter of 1862-63 these two Battalions were incorporated into- a Regiment (the Lamar Rangers. Capt. Wm. Brailsford being included as the Tenth troop), and designated the Fifth Georgia Cav alry, with:
Robert H. Anderson as Colonel. Edward Bird as Lieutenant Colonel. Richard J. Davant as Major. Geo. S. Barthelmess as Adjutant. Thos. B. Gowen as A. Q. M. J. F. Gowen as A. C. S. J. T. McFarland as Surgeon.

From the date of its organization to May 26, 1864, this Regiment rendered service in the "Department of South Carolina and Geor gia." Upon the latter date it was ordered to report to Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, then confronting the advance of Gen. Sherman upon Atlanta, Ga. On reporting, June 8, 1864, it was assigned to Brig. Gen. "W. W. Alien's Brigade" of "Kelly's" Division, "Wheeler's" Corps of Cavalry. On the death of Gen. "Kelly" Brig. Gen. "Alien" succeeded him as Major General, and Colonel R. H. Anderson was promoted Brigadier General to succeed "Alien," and the Fifth Geor gia Regiment was assigned to his Brigade, which held a distinguished place in all the brilliant achievements of "Wheeler's" Cavalry in Georgia and the Carolinas and surrendered at or near Hillsboro, North Carolina, with the Army of G*en.

THE OLD BUGLE.
There, on the wall, it hangs, with dented curves and battered mouth, As though it fought the song of war it shrilled across the South; As though the blasts of wrath it blew had clutched it in a grasp That left the lasting finger prints ere it released its clasp, There, on the wall, it hangs to-day--a token of Time's lapse-- For now it knows no other song than that sweet one of "Taps."
The bent and battered bugle that has sent its thrilling call, Until a thousand men have Hurled themselves against a wall-- Against a wall of bayonets--of bayonets and flame-- And leaped into the charge as if the bugle called each name! There, on the wall, it hangs to-day-- between the soldier caps, And in its rusty throat there is no other song than "Taps."
Once, sharp and shrill, it burned and blared from mouthpiece out to bell
With strident sound, and stinging strains, the startling song of helll Oft, ringing rampantly, it sang in tone and voice elate, In clearest, keenest melody, the rhapsody of hate. Vet now it hangs there peacefully, and sings but when the gaps In thinning ranks call for the sad and sweet old song of "Taps."
And when they take the bugle down to play above the mound, No soldier heart but quicker beats when comes the well-known
sound; NTo soldier mind but travels once again the distant ways That loom anew in memory--though dimming in the haze, There, on the wall, it hangs to-day--a token of Time's lapse-- And now it knows no other song than that sweet one of "Taps."

HISTORICAL SKETCH.
The Colony of Georgia was established under auspices and condi tions differing in some respects from such as existed with the others of the thirteen original Colonies.
Frequent representation by the authorities of the Province of South Carolina had been submitted to the government of Great Britain, as to the extent of their southern and western frontier; its defenseless condition and liability to savage outrage, with an appeal to the Crown that it would provide some protection for them. "The security of Carolina against external enemies" by the proposed set tlement of Georgia "engaged the attention of the British govern ment," etc.* "At the same time for the relief of poor and indigent people of Great Britain and Ireland, and for the further security of South Carolina, the settlement of a new Colony between the rivers Altamaha and Savannah was projected in England."-)-
To this end a charter was granted to "The Trustees for establish ing the Colony of Georgia." What says the Charter? In the pre amble, "Whereas, we are credibly informed that many of our poor subjects are, through misfortunes and want of employment, reduced to great necessity, insomuch as by their labor they are not able to provide a maintenance for themselves and families; and if they had means to defray their charges of passage, and other expenses inci dent to new settlements, they would be glad to settle in any of our provinces in America, where, by cultivating the lands at present waste and desolate, they might not only gain a comfortable subsis tence for themselves and families, but also strengthen our Colonies, and increase the trade, navigation and wealth of these, our realms. And, whereas, our Provinces in North America have been frequently ravaged by Indian enemies; more especially that of South Carolina, which in the late war by the neighboring savages, was laid waste by fire and sword, and great numbers of the English inhabitants mis erably massacred; and our living subjects who now inhabit there, by reason of the smallness of their numbers, will, in case of a new war, be exposed to the late calamities, we think it highly becoming our Crown and royal dignity, to protect all our loving subjects * * * and extend our fatherly compassion," &c., &c.
The protection of the frontier of South Carolina it thus appears was an object of equal importance with the furtherance of the char itable project of the Trustees; and that the advancement of humane purposes would result in the protection of the Colony of Carolina "and in turn increase the trade, navigation and wealth of these our realms."
Hewltt's History of South Carolina, page 26. tHewItt's History of South Carolina, page 15. Jones's History of Georgia, pages TV-90.

The Colony of Georgia was therefore created a Military Colony! "As the strength of the Province (i, e., Georgia) was their chief object in view, they (the Trustees) agreed to establish such tenures for holding land in it as they judged most favorable for a Military establishment. Each tract of land granted was considered as a Mili tary fief, for which the possessor was to appear in arms and take the field, when called upon for the public defense."* Oglethorpe being appointed to conduct the Colony, "he formed them into a company of militia; appointed officers from among them selves and furnished them with arms and ammunition * * * and as they had been trained beforehand by the Sergeants of the Guard in London, they performed the various parts in a manner a little in ferior to regular troops."t Under such conditions, then, and to the number of thirty-five (35) subject to the fief, the Colonists arrived at Savannah, I3th of Feb. 1733 (N. S.) and were established in their holdings prepared to discharge the duties incumbent upon them-- both civil and military. In tours of duty they were immediately put upon "watch and ward" and set to work vigorously in the construc tion of forts and other defenses. In full realization of the exposed situation of its scattered settle ments and outlying plantations, the Province of South Carolina had maintained at Palachocolas, on the left bank of the Savannah river (which was the only crossing place of the river for many miles above and below it), and at the eastern terminus of the "lower Indian trad ing path" (which reached away southwestwardly into the territories of the Lower Creek Indians), a company of "Rangers," under com mand of Captain Aeneas Mclntosh with his brother, Wm. Mclntosh, as Lieutenant. A like company was maintained near Port Royal under command of James McPherson, with his brother, Wm. McPherson, as Lieutenant, to guard the lower coast against hostile boat or canoe inroad. There was a recognized necessity for the existence of these "Ran gers." "These are horsemen, and patrol the woods to see that no enemy Indians, nor other lawless persons shelter themselves there." On the right bank of the Savannah river and near the terminus of the said trading path was the Euchee Town of Indians and subse quently the village of Mt. Pleasant--a trading post. On the arrival of Oglethorpe at Charleston, S. C., with his Georgia Colonists in January, 1733, the Governor of South Carolina ordered Captain MacPherson with a c'etachment of fifteen (15) of his com pany of Rangers to attend and act as a military guard during the set tlement of the Colony at Savannah, being stationed just above Yamacraw Bluffs, at a point on the Savannah river known'as the "Horse Quarter." In June of this year Oglethorpe advanced Captain Mc Pherson and his Rangers from their post at the "Horse Quarter," to the Ogeechee river, establishing that river as the western frontier

line. Here was also erected Fort Argyle, of which the said Rangers were to be the garrison to command the passage of the river, at a point where the Indians had been accustomed to cross that stream. Ten families were sent from Savannah to occupy and cultivate lands there. Fort Argyle was maintained as a military post with a garri son of varying force certainly up to the year 1745, and most likely up to 1752, the date of the settlement of the ''Midway District."
But there was evident need for additional Rangers to penetrate westward as iar as the Oconee, with the object of regulating trade relations and cultivating amity with the "Creeks."
After consultation with the Governor of South Carolina (who was at this date Commander-in-Chief of the Militia of Georgia as well as of South Carolina)* another company of Rangers was enrolled under command of Patrick Mackay, with Hugh Mackay as Lieutenant, and Hugh Mackay, Jr., as Ensign. Soon after its entering upon service a garrison was located near the Oconee, the command of which was assigned to Thomas Wiggin, who had been an Indian trader and was an interpreter of their language. On the return of Oglethorpe from England (at the head of the "great embarkation" which it was in tended to settle at Frederica), in February, 1736, Captain Patrick Mackay's troop of Horsemen, lately come out of the Indian country, which lay at Sir Francis Bathurst's at Josephtown, on the Savannah river, was on Feb. pth, reduced by order of the Trustees/}" While there is no reason assigned in connection with this order for this act, it probably resulted from a letter to the Trustees from Lieutenant Governor Broughton of South Cirolina, in which he made complaint against Captain Mackay in relation to the Indian trade.
On Feb, I3th Oglethorpe writes to the Trustees: "Having raised fifty (50) Rangers and sent Captain McPherson with a part of his Rangers overland to support the Highlanders on the Altamaha river, it seems that the purpose of disbanding Captain Patrick Mackay's troop of Horsemen was to retire him, as this company of fifty Ran gers is raised four days after the said reduction."
It appears that Hugh Macfcay (previously Lieutenant of P. Mac kay's Troop) is made Captain, and probably John Cuthbert Lieutenanti, with Hugh Mackay, Jr., as Ensign,
The necessity for Rangers which was recognized and declared be fore and at the time of the settlement of Savannah, which was so near to Carolina as to admit of possible support in an hour of peril, was more imposingly existing, when the settlements of Darien and Frederica were established upon locations far removed from help, and by such fact in nearer proximity to hostile Spaniards in Florida. This new and more extended frontier of the Altamaha suggested some other and speedier line of communication than that by water along the coast, therefore Walter Augustin (a surveyor) under

escort of Ensign Hugh Mackay, "with twelve (12) Ranges s of Pat rick Mackay's reduced company," begins' survey of land route to Darien, and Ensign Hugh Mackay on completion of same, reports at Frederica April I, 1736. About the same date Captain Hugh Mackay is assigned to "command the hundred of Darien," to direct and instruct them while they were building their homes and estab lishing themselves. Query, if Ensign Hugh Mackay had but twelve of the new raised fifty Rangers with him as escort to Augustin, and McPherson was present with some of his Rangers to guard the Highlanders, where were the remaining thirty-eight new raised Ran gers? Apparently distributed along the Savannah river at the "Horse Quarter," near the mouth of Pipemaker creek, at Josephtown, Ebenezer and Augusta.
On 22nd of February Oglethorpe visited the settlement at Darien, appearing himself in the Highland garb, and was received by the Highlanders paraded by Captain Hugh Mackay in the striking and attractive garb of the Highlands. This was the first parade of a uni formed company in Georgia, if bonnet, claymore, kilt and targe be sufficient to establish uniformity.
The exposed situation of Frederica to assault by water made neces sary the establishment of outposts upon the islands to the south, and Ensign Mackay was sent to Cumberland Island, where were erected Fort St. Andrew at the northwest point, and Fort William at the southwest point of that island. In 1737, with his force of thirty Rangers, he repulsed an attack made upon Fort William by the Spaniards from Florida, and in 1738, or early in January, 1739,* when a portion of Oglethorpe's Regiment was stationed at Fort St. An drew, Ensign Hugh Mackay was on Amelia Island, an outpost near
to the hostile Spaniards. On Oct. 5, 1737, Oglethorpe, being in England, announces to the
Trustees that "His Majesty had ordered a Regiment of 600 effective men to be raised for the defense of the Colony," etc., and that he had been appointed to be Colonel of the same, with full authority to or ganize. This Regiment was to consist of six (6) companies (al though a seventh (7th) was added in 1742). To the command of the sixth (6th) company Hugh Mackay, Sr., was appointed, (the same who had been Lieutenant under Patrick Mackay and Captain of the "new raised" Rangers of 1736).
According to Stephen's Journal, Hugh Mackay at date of Nov. 16, 1737, was in the Highlands of Scotland seeking recruits for said Regiment. This appointment vacated the Captaincy of the Rangers of 1736, and it is to be fairly inferred that John Cuthbert (of "Drakies") succeeded to the command of that company, but there is at hand no record of the actual date of such appointment.
Stephen's Journal under date of April 8, 1738, declares Cuthbert to be Captain of a company of Rangers at "Josephtown," and in Eg-
See Journal of Trustees of Colony of Georgia. Vol. II., page 174, Colonial Records of Georgia.
407
mont's Journal we have mention, under date of Feb. 14, 1739, of "John Cuthbert as Captain of Rangers in Georgia," and under date of Oct. 19, as having cut a path from Augusta to the Uchee town Mt. Pleasant; and yet further mentions, under same date, in Oglethorpe's Letter, as being with the cattle hunters herding the Trus tees' cattle. Oglethorpe at this same date writing to the Trustees,* declares "two services absolutely necessary, viz.: a Troop of Ran gers and pay for those who head the Indians," and on Nov. 16, 1739, "for boats and Troop of Rangers to the southward."
Stephen's Journal of date Nov. i6th, says: "News received of death of Captain Cuthbert in South Carolina (where he had gone with Lieutenant Scruggs (Robert), to purchase horses for the Ran gers.")
On same date Oglethorpe designates Captain James McPherson to succeed Cuthbert with Scrnggs as his Lieutenant, the company to consist of thirty (30) men.g But it is doubtful that he took over the command, as we find that early in 1740 he was named by the author ities of South Carolina to command the company of Rangers which that Colony was to furnish as a part of its complement for Oglethorpe's expeditions against St. Augustine. Such company, however, did not materialize in season to participate.
Oglethorpe writing further to the Trustees under date Dec. 29, 1739, says: "Horsemen also I am obliged to have--have raised sixty (60) Rangers." This referring doubtless to the thirty (30) men men tioned under date Oct. gth, and the Rangers needed to the south ward under date Nov. i6th. This latter was the "Highland Company of Rangers," which was officered by Wm. Mclntoshf as Captain, with Charles Mackay and John Cuthbert (of Darien) as First and Second Lieutenants,} and Kenneth Baillie as Ensign. On the same date he declares "a scout boat and Rangers at Amelia Island neces sary."
Captain McPherson not accepting the Captaincy made vacant by the death of John Cuthbert (of Drakies), the former Ensign, Hugh Mackay, Jr., succeeds to the command.
It is again to be noted that although the Colony was strengthened by ,the arrival in September, 1738, of Oglethorpe's Regiment of six hundred (600) men, he reiterates the absolute necessity of Rangers and in full recognition of the fact actually increased the existing troop and raised the Highland Troop in 1739.
In September, 1739, being advised of war between England and Spain and having "received orders to make reprisals on the King of Spain," Oglethorpe immediately took steps to carry out the same. After a preliminary expedition up the St. John's river, made in De-

cember, 1739, he determined upon an advance against St. Augustine, Fla., which started out in May, 1740. His force consisted of: The Georgia Regiment of Foot (H. B. M. 42nd)............500 men The South Carolina Regiment of Foot ..................603 men One Troop of English Rangers.* One Troop of Highland Rangers. One Company of English Foot. One Company of Highland Foot. Some Volunteers from South Carolina. And Indians, Boatmen, etc.
Passing over the many interesting incidents of this movement, full accounts of -which are of record in several histories of Georgia, we consider only the night attack made by 500 selected Spanish troops upon "Fort Moosa," which was garrisoned by a force con sisting of ten volunteers (Rangers) from South Carolina; thirteen (13) Rangers from Georgia, under Captain Hugh JMacka-y; the High land Rangers (number not declared), and Highland Foot, to the number of sixty (Co), and about forty (40) Indians--a total of be tween one hundred and thirty (130) and one hundred and forty (140), and all under command of Colonel Palmer of South Carolina.
''According to Abram Minis, just returned from the south, the "party at "Moosa" was about one hundred and thirty, of whom forty "were killed and ten prisoners. Among the former, Colonel Palmer "and the latter John McIntosh.J Stephens further relates that most "of those that were killed being either of the Darien people (the "Highlanders) or of our troop of Rangers; and yet further: 'It fell "heavy upon our party of Rangers, who were a set of brave young "men and behaved signally well, but the most bloody part to our "good people at Darien, under command of John Mclntosh (Mohr), "who, with some of his company, were made prisoners.' "
What disposition is made of this command of Captain Hugh Mackay after General Oglethorpe's retreat from Florida is not mat ter of distinct record, but it may safely be inferred that it resumed outpost duty.
Anticipating that the Spaniards would in turn make an attack.upon him, he addressed himself energetically to the making provision to meet it. In addition to strengthening his several forts and the or ganization in August, 1740, of a guard of ten men to be stationed at Wormsloe, under command of Noble Jonest to watch the "Skidaway Narrows," and with a scout boat to patrol and watch the neighboring sounds and water courses, he raised a company of marines under command of Captain Carr, and in March, 1741, sends Isaac YoungJ out to purchase horses for the Rangers.
Under Capt. (formerly Ensign) Hugb Mackay, Jr. {Stephens' Journal, July. 1740. tBfrmont's Journal, p. 448, Marcb, 174(, Noble Jones made a Captain by Gen. Ogletborpe tThls name again appears In connection with the** Rangers" or "Dragoons.11

In writing to the Trustees under date of April 28, 1741, makes men tion of the "Highland Company" for the woods and two troops of Rangers for the inland country; and on May 12, 1741, writing to the Duke of Newcastle, he makes urgent demand * * * * for author ity to recruit the two troops of Rangers to sixty (60) men each and the Highland company to one hundred.
At a date somewhere between that of Oglethorpe's return to Frederica in July, 1740, and the early winter of 1741, Captain Hugh Mackay (the Junior who was Captain of the Georgia Rangers at ''Fort Moosa") is transferred to be a Lieutenant of Oglethorpe's Regin-.ent* and Captain Thomas Wiggint succeeds him as Captain, being stationed at Mt. Pleasant as early as February, 1741, in com mand of its garrison of 12 men. He (Wiggan) also maintained at that location a trading store. Scruggs is still Lieutenant of this company, with John Mille.dge probably Ensign. Milledge was com missioned Quartern-aster of same March 29. 1742.
July 5, 1742, Captain Wiggin 0 dies at Mt. Pleasant and is succeeded by John Barnard as Captain of the troop, with John Mil'edge as Lieutenant (succeeding Scruggs, when promoted to succeed Mat
thews, deceased), who is stationed at Fort Argyle. In June. 1742, the Spaniards make invasion of Georgia, and on the
22nd of that month Oglethorpe called in the Highland company from Darien; Captain Carr's company of Marines and the Georgia Ran gers "from the several posts to which they had been detached,'' etc.!
Responding to this call Captain Noble Jones from his post at Wormsloe and Lieut. Robert Scruggs appear at Frederica in tirne to unite with the other forces in defense of Frederica.
On July 7th, the advance of the Spaniards toward Frederica (from the south end of St. Simon's Island) with their land forces was dis covered by the Rangers under command of Captain Jones, and the alarm given.? (Captain Wiggin not being present, because of an illness resulting in his death on the 5th of July, it would appear that the command of the Georgia Rangers was committed temporarily to Noble Jones, who yet held his command of the scout boat and garrison at Wormsloe).
Oglethorpe "immediately advanced with a party of Indians, Ran gers and the Highland company, accompanied by Captain Gray|| with his Chickasaws; Captain Jones of Savannah and Lieutenant Scruggs" to meet this advance of the enemy, which was repulsed and pursued for several miles.
"Hastening back to Frederica he assembled his remaining force and advanced against the main body of the Spaniards which had been before his arrival at that point, routed by the platoon of his

Regiment under Lieutenant Sutherland, and the company of High land Foot, under Lieutenant Charles Mackay at "Bloody Marsh."?
After the retreat of the Spaniards, writing to the Trustees under date of July 30, 1742: "I raised another troop of Rangers," etc. This is the troop of mention in Stephen's Journal lyth April, 1742, to the command of which Jacob Matthews was appointed with Wm. Francis as Lieutenant, and sent to establish a post at "Mt. Venture," 150 miles from Frederica, near the forks of the Oconee and Ocmulgee rivers. Matthews dying soon after the establishment of the post, the command at Mt. Venture devolved upon Lieutenant Fran cis. At the time of the Spanish invasion a party of Yemassee In dians in the Spanish interest fell upon this isolated garrison and massacred all of them. Leutenant Francis being at the time, absent from the post and at Frederica, escaped the fate of his command.
This garrison being re-established in September, 1742*, Oglethorpe appoints as its Captain Robert Scruggs, who as Lieutenant of the Georgia Rangers, had distinguished himself in the affair at Frederica. Wm. Francisf continuing as Lieutenant, being again com missioned such Oct. 5, 1742.
In 1744 it was commanded by Captain Thomas Jones, with ------ Pierre as an officer of the same, and next by Captain John Rae until early in the year 1759. On May 26, 1759, Grey Elliott is appointed Captain of same.
In March, 1743, John Barnard is made Captain to succeed Thos. Wiggan (or Wiggin), who- died July 5, 1742, in command of the Rangers at Mt. Pleasant.** Lieutenant John Milledge, his Lieute nant, being at Fort Argyle with twenty Rangers.
In the Minutes of the Proceedings of the Executive Council, i. e.: Mr. President Stephens and his four assistants, under date nth Dec., 1747, Captain John WilliamsJ is mentioned as having commanded or being in command of a troop|| and doubtless succeeded Barnard in 1744, when the latter took up his settlement on Wilmington Island.
Captain Williams was a large planter upon Stirling creek near Fort Argyle, having every inducement to defend that post. John Milledge continued to be Lieutenant at that post certainly until the midsum mer of 1747; and in all probability, to a much later date.
Neither the actual date of Williams' appointment as Captain or the date of his retirement is given. Nor yet the date of Noble Jones 0 assignment to the command. The latter appears on the record indubitally such on July 25, 1749, when, at the time of the approach of

a large body of Indians upholding the claims of the Bosomworths "with threatening and dangerous purpose," "they were halted by a troop of horse under command of Captain Noble Jones and com pelled to ground their arms."
To the intrepidity and courage of Captain Noble Jones and his troop of Rangers on this occasion is to be attributed the safety of the Colony and the escape of the inhabitants from destruction.
The unfriendly attitude of the Indians thus manifested and the possibility of further Indian disturbances to result from French and Spanish intriguing or other incentive, made necessary the maintainance of this troop ai.d the more necessary because on the disbandment of Heron's (i. e., Oglethorpe's) Regiment on July 29, 1749, the militia had to be the sole protection of the Colony.
Throughout all the preceding years this Troop of Rangers were actively on duty, being sent as occasion suggested, either as an en tirety or in detachments to such service or location as the exigency of the hour required. The preceding incidents establish the exist ence of the command of Rangers, i. e., the "English Rangers," or "Georgia Rangers," up to the midsummer of 1749, and doubtless to April 16, 1751, when by enactment, provision was made for its con tinuance under conditions then declared.
On the final departure of General Oglethorpe from Georgia in April, 1743, the administration of civil affairs devolved upon Mr. President Stephens and his four assistants, and all military matters upon the commanding officer of the Regiment.
One of the first acts of the civil government "was the proper and full organization of the militia." The record of' their proceedings in this direction is wanting until 1751, when the first representative as sembly, wh:ch provided for a representation of every town, village or district, according to population, was convened at Savannah, Jan. 15, of that year.
In response to the earnest solicitations of this Assembly which recognized "the want of proper officers to command the militia, the President and his assistants" proceeded to organize and commission the militia of the Province, and on i8th April, 1751, enacted that:
"All 'who possessed three hundred acres and upwards of land were "directed to appear well accoutred on horseback as cavalry; and "those who owned less property, armed as Foot The militia was "thus composed in four companies, viz.: one troop of horse, and "three of infantry, amounting in all to near three hundred.* It was "proposed to make the following appointments: Mr. Noble Jones, "ST., Captain of the Troop of Horse within this part of the Colony, "and Mr. Newdigate Stephens, Lieutenant, but the other officers "were not fixed upon. Mr. Francis Harris, Captain of the Company "of Foot of this town, which will consist of above one hundred men. "Mr. Isaac Young, Lieutenant, and Mr. Noble Jones, Jr., Ensign." t
*Jones" History of Georgia, Vol. I., p. 433. *From Proceedings of tbe President and Assistants In council assembled commencing 18th April, 1751.
412
Noble Jones' commission issued June 10, and another to Henry Bourquin to be Lieutenant in Captain Charles Watson's Company of Foot, "and yesterday there was a general muster of the militia of Savannah, and places adjacent, viz.: extending west to Abercorn and south to Midway river, about two hundred and twenty men, horse and foot. And a commission was given to Mr. Charles West to be Cornet of the Troop of Horse."f
Captain Noble Jones was at a date near succeeding promoted Col onel to command the militia, "and his son, Noble W. Jones, who had been a cadet in Oglethorpe's Regiment, was appointed to command the Dragoons. Charles Watson, Francis Harris and Lachlan McIntosh were appointed Captains of Infantry.J
The service thus required was based upon the freehold and ex acted of all citizens with exemptions however, as will subsequently appear.
To the date of establishment of Oglethorpe's Regiment in Georgia the expense of maintaining the military costs of the Colony rested upon the Trustees, but it was claimed by the Trustees that after that date it devolved upon the British government, and they declined the payment of all charges for same. As a consequence, there followed a disbandment of the two companies under Aeneas Mclntosh and James McPherson. Oglethorpe, however, continued the "English" or "Georgia" Rangers and organized the Highland Company and that commanded by Captain Jacob Matthews providing for their maintenance (as well also of scout boats, etc.), from his individual means, looking to the government for reimbursement.*
Now that a continuance of this mounted command was to rest on the basis of land holdings, it is interesting to know who were liable, under the new law.
In a list of those to whom allotments of land were made between the years 1741 and 1751 inclusive (as appears in White's Historical Collections, pp. 32-33 and 34) we find the following names of such as received grants of 300 acres and upwards, viz.:

(In the above or preceding list, when a military title appears, it applies to such as had been officers in Oglethorpe's Regiment).
This list is to be reduced by such number as may have died in the interim, or moved out of the Colony; by such as held public office and therefore exempt, and by such, whose residence was so far re moved as to make attendance at muster difficult to secure, and is to be increased by such of the Colony as received like grants anterior to 1741, and were yet living.
Additional grants were made in 1752-'53 and '54, which brought un der the terms of enactment the following list, being principally of set tlers south of the Ogeechee river, and which constituted what was at that time known as the Midway (Medway) District:

This list is subject to like increase, and decrease as that which pre cedes it.
The seventy-two (72) of this second list marked with an asterisk, as also three of the first list (viz.: John Davis and Audley and James Maxwell) were all settlers south of the Ogeechee river and were some of those who were located about Dorchester. Midway, etc., and constituted what was afterwards comprehended in St. John's Parish or Liberty county, and were subject to the provisions of the Enact ment of 1731, and therefore required to do duty on "horseback as cavalry."
The following citizens were subsequently exempted from militia service, viz.: Members of the Council and their officers. Members of the Assembly and their officers, the Chief Justice, the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas, the Attorney General, Attorneys of the Court, the Clerk of the Crown and Pleas, the Provost Marshal, the Mrster and Register of the High Court of Chancery, the Judge of the Vice Admiralty, the officers of His Majesty's Customs, the Sur veyor General, the Clergy, the Catechist of Savannah, the Public Treasurer, the Powder Receiver, the Commissary, Comptrollers, Waiters and all qualified acting Justices of the Peace, Pilots and Ferryman.
In time of Rebellion, insurrection or invasion these exemptions ceased, except as to Members of Council, Assemblymen and their Officers, Pilots and Ferrymen.
On 23rd June, 1762, the Trustees surrender their charter to the Crown and in July following the Lords Justices with the advice of the Privy Council, issue a proclamation continuing in 'their respective places all officers of the Colony, both civil and military, holding ap pointments from the Trustees.*

NOBLE WYMBERLEY JONES. Captain of First Troop of Horse Militia.

The civil officers thus recognized were Mr. Patrick Graham (who had succeeded Parker and Stephens) with James Habersham, Noble Jones, Pickering Robinson and Francis Harris, who continued to discharge the duties of government until the arrival at Savannah of Captain John Reynolds on 6th Aug. 1754, as "Governor and Cap tain General and Vice Admiral of the Province of Georgia."
Throughout the preceding period while the Colony was under gov ernment of the Trustees, there is by declaration and act a recognition of the necessity for Rangers or Horsemen, and a recognition of the existence of such a command or commands; and while there is not from day to day such a declaration, it is fair to presume that the necessity continuing, that the command which grew out of it also existed. And yet at the date of arrival of Governor Reynolds we are without the names of the several military incumbents.
UNDER ROYAL GOVERNMENT, 1754-1775.
Administration of Governor Reynolds.
"The commission of Governor Reynolds as Captain General and Vice Admiral of the Province was read and published at the head of the militia under arms and was saluted with several rounds of musketry, etc."*
The first General Assembly under the new government was con vened at Savannah ?th of January, 1755. In his address to this Assembly the Governor says: "I think it proper for the public service that you, first of all, frame some provincial laws for the well regulating the militia." The first enactment of this Assembly was "An Act for regulating the Militia of the Province, and for the security and defense of the same.t
This Act was assented to by Governor Reynolds, 24th January, 1755- The XII. section of this Act provides: "And, whereas it "may very much contribute to the safety and welfare of this Prov"ince to have a troop or troops of horse in readiness on particular "and extraordinary occasion: Be it, further enacted by the author ity aforesaid, That the Governor or Commander-in-Chief for the "time being be hereby authorized and empowered, from amongst "the inhabitants of this Province who have sufficient substance to "undergo the charge and will voluntarily come and enlist to form "a troop or troops of Horse, not exceeding in the whole two hun"dred men, and to appoint and commission proper officers to com"mand such troop or troops, and to muster, train and exercise them "not less than four times in one year at Savannah, or such other "place, as the Governor or Commander-in-Chief shall direct and "appoint."
"Sec. XIII. Be it, further enacted by the authority aforesaid, "That every person who shall enlist in the said troop or troops so to "be formed shall provide himself with a good and able horse (his "own property) and with such cloathes, arms, ammunition and fur"niture as the majority of the officers shall agree upon, and every "person or persons so enlisted in the said troop or troops shall be "excused, or exempted from all service whatsoever in any other regi"rcent, troop, or company whatsoever (the patrol duty excepted), "etc., etc."
"Sec. XIV. Be it, further enacted by the authority aforesaid, "That in time of any actual rebellion, insurrection or invasion, the
Jones' History of Georgia, Vol. I. pp. W9-J78. tTbls Act will be found In tbe "Wormsloe" reprint of Obsolete Acts, and Is No. I, Watklns' Digest,
421
"said troop or troops shall attend the Governor or Commander-in"Chief for the time being in any part of the Province."*
"That the said Act shall be and continue in force for and during the space of three years and from thence to the end of the next session of the General Assembly and no longer."**
On Dec. 5, 1754, >n his first letter to the Lords Commissioner of Trades and Plantations, he sets forth "the necessity" for additional troops to garrison the southern frontier of the Province, etc., and strongly urged favorable notice of same, and in his second letter he renewed his application as a matter absolutely necessary for so exposed and defenseless a Colony.f
The population of Georgia aggregated less than 6,500 whites and the outline of territory to be defended was a circuit of near 600 miles. There were but 756 arms bearing men "enrolled in eight companies of militia, badly armed, inefficiently trained and widely separated from each other, and concentration of them difficult." The increase thus declared beyond the four companies of mention in 1751 is not accounted for.
The new settlement of the Midway District (in what was subse quently designated St. John's Parish and is now Liberty county), may account for the increase of one company. The first muster of this company was had ipth May, 1755, "when the militia law was read at the head of the company.":):
The Enactment of 1751 provided for the existence of a Troop of Mounted Militia, in which service was compulsory upon all citizens holding three hundred acres and upwards of land.
The Act of 1755 provided for the existence of a volunteer troop, based upon the condition of having "sufficient substances to under go the charge."
The troop or troops then and thus existing or formed under the provisions of this Act of 1755 became the first volunteer organiza tion in the State of Georgia-?
The necessity for Cavalry, Horsemen or Rangers was empha sized at this date in the fact that the "Cherokee" Indians, whom the French|| at Mobile, and their posts on the Alabama river, were endeavoring to excite to hostilities against South Carolina and Georgia.

In the scheme of defense projected by Captain John Wm. Gerar DeBrahm, the Chief Engineer of the State and an officer of dis tinction and which he submitted to Governor Reynolds 5th Jan uary, 1756, was contemplated the raising of two hundred Rangers.I
The plan did not receive the sanction of the Board of Trade, and the defense of the Colony remained with the militia.
So impressed, however, was Governor Reynolds with the neces sity for additional Rangers that he raised a troop of about forty to command which he appointed John Milledge as Captain (he who had been Lieutenant of the "English" or "Georgia" Rangers),* with James Parker as Lieutenant. The other officers not mentioned.
On i6th of February, 1757, Henry Ellis as Governor succeeds Captain Reynolds and was invested with the full powers of govern ment.
On April 2nd, 1757, Jonathan Bryan is commissioned as Captain of the First Troop of Horse Militia.f 'and on July i8th, Joseph Gibbons is commissioned Lieutenant, and James Whitefield, Cornet. There is no record to show date of retirement of Noble W. Jones, who had been appointed Captain in 1751.
Among the first acts of Governor Ellis was the submission by him to the Lords Commissioners of the importance of sustaining amicable relations to the Indians,"**** of having a few troops of Rangers to garrison and defend the forts, etc.
The Georgia Assembly met at Savannah, i6th of June, 1757, and one of the Enactments of said Assembly was an "Act for the better discipline of the militia by establishing more frequent musters."
In an address to the Governor, a8th July, 1757, the Assembly set forth that the frontier of the State was protected by only one troop of twenty Rangers, raised in the hurry of an alarm, unpaid and un disciplined. \
With purpose to pacificate the Indians (war existing at this date between England and France), and by arrangement between Gov ernor Ellis and Governor Lyttleton of South Carolina, and Colonel Boquet, commanding the King's forces in the Southern Depart ment, a conference was held at Savannah, 25th of October, 1757, between the Governor and Council and the Chiefs and Head Men of the Upper and Lower Creeks.
Anxious to impress these savages with the highest possible con ception of the military strength of the town, Governor Ellis or dered that they should be received by the First Regiment of Mili tia, commanded by Colonel Noble Jones. J|

As the Indians approached, escorted by Captain Milledge and the Rangers, they were met beyond the lines by Captain Bryan* and a cavalcade of the principal inhabitants, who welcomed them in the name of the Governor and regaled them in a tent pitched for that purpose.f This preliminary reception concluded, preceded by the citizens on horse back, the Rangers bringing up the rear, &c., &c.
This "cavalcade of the principal inhabitants," "who have sufficient substance," these citizens on horseback constituted the First Troop of Horse Militia existing under provision of the XII. Section of the Act enacted in January, 1755. They were a part of the First Regiment of Militia and the term "cavalcade of principal inhabi tants" was a quaint use of an expression to give them recognition in terms different to the small body of Rangers commanded by Captain Milledge.
Under date of May 30, 1758, Governor Ellis, writing to the Board of Trade concerning this troop of Rangers, says: "It is more than a year and a half since a troop of Rangers were begun to be raised here. * * I am now supporting them upon my own credit," &c.$
Again, under date of 28th of October, 1758, he writes: "One point in particular concerns me so much that I can not now be silent upon it, notwithstanding I have so often mentioned it. I mean what relates to the Rangers raised here by my predecessor, who are not yet upon any establishment; but have for many months past been maintained upon my own credit and risque. They are highly necessary to be kept on foot," &c., &c.**
Here we have another declaration from the governing head of the Colony as to the necessity of Rangers and a statement to the effect that they were maintained at the expense of himself in the failure of the Crown to provide for same.
On Dec. 23, 1758, Noble Jones is commissioned Captain of the "First Troop of Horse Militia," with James Whitefield as Lieute nant and James Box as Cornet, and on Jan. 10, 1759, Moses Nunez is commissioned Quartermaster of same.
On i6th March, 1759, Noble Jones is commissioned Colonel of the "First Troop of Horse," and 26th of May, 1759, Grey Elliott is commissioned Captain of the "Second Troop of Horse," viz.: that. of the Southern Division.
The designation of Noble Jones as Colonel suggests that he was commissioned such to command all of the mounted men, viz.: the two troops of Horse Militia and the two troops of Rangers. A second troop of Rangers had been raised by Governor Ellis to command which William Francis had been commissioned in 1757.

On promotion of Noble Jones, Lachlan McGillivray succeeds to the command of the "First Troop of Horse Militia," zoth July, 1762, with Wm. Smith as Cornet and Thomas Lee, Quartermaster. On May 27, 1763, Wm. Smith is commissioned First Lieutenant vice Whitefield, and Isaac Young, Cornet.*
There is no further record in Book B of commissions touching the First Troop of Horse or concerning any Horse Militia until I2th July, 1777, when Joseph Oswald is commissioned Captain, with James Carter as First Lieutenant and Wm. Middleton as Sec ond Lieutenant of "a company of Rangers in Liberty county." These officers probably succeeding James Screven, Daniel Roberts and John Screven, who had been commissioned such in January, 1776.- James Screven had been appointed Colonel and Daniel Rob erts Major of the Third Regiment of Infantry, Georgia Continen tals.
On 2nd of Nov. 1760, Governor Ellis was succeeded by Governor James Wright. In the address of the latter to the Assembly on in duction to office on 3rd of November, he calls the attention of both Houses to the dangers to which the Province was exposed.
"The entire military strength of the Colony at this time con sisted of two troops of Rangers (on the King's establishment), three small regiments of militia (horse militia included), and a de tachment of fifty from South Carolina * * the whole did not exceed eleven hundred men."t
At the first session of the Third Assembly "An Act to continue several acts for regulating the militia in the Province of Georgia (Act No. 77, Watkins' Digest), was approved June 9, 1761, and on May 29, 1764 "An Act for continuing several laws therein men tioned for regulating the militia, &c., was approved (Act No. 116, Watkins' Digest), which continued those several Acts until the first day of January, 1765, and from thence to the end of the then next session of the General Assembly. And on May 25, 1765, was adopted "An Act for the better ordering the militia of this Province (Act No. 131. Watkins' Digest). In this Act (No. 131) the pro visions and phraseology of Sections XII., XIII. and XIV. which pertain to the Horse Militia, are almost identically the same as ap pear in the Act of 1755.
The Preamble to this Act, No. 131, recites: "Whereas, a well ordered and well disciplined militia is essentially necessary to the safety, peace and prosperity of this Province," &c.
Section XLVIII. of this Act provides: ''That this Act shall be and continue in force for and during the space of five years, and from thence to the end," &c., &c.
Book "B" of Commission!. Book "C" of Commissions covers the period from 7th August. 1800, lo 2nd April, 1806, and there Is In such form no record of commissions to Horse Mllltla from July, 1777, to August, 1800. {Stephens' History of Georgia, Vol. II.. p. 1*
425
In Act No. 137 (Watkins' Digest), which is "an Act for the establishing and regulating patrols," &c., &c., Section IV. of same provides: "That the several Captains and commanding officers of the several companies belonging to the town of Savannah shall make out a general patrol list of their respective companies, including the horse and alarm men," &c.
The existence of the Horse Militia in the town of Savannah.is thus recognized at this date.
In 1763 there was a company of Horse in St. Andrews' Parish, of which Thomas Jones was Captain and James Peirre Lieutenant.
We are without details, therefore, as to who held the offices in the troop of Horse Militia during such period.
In 1772, however, John Wm. Gerar DeBrahm, writing to the Commissioners of the Treasury (a copy of which is to be found on page 53 in "A History of the Province of Georgia"), says: ''The first militia regiment is that of Savannah, the next that of Ogetchee and the third regiment is that of Augusta.* Besides these three regiments is a squadron of cavalry all better trained than formerly a militia in Europe."
Passing over the excitement of the people growing out of the Stamp Act, the organization and Acts of the Liberty boys, the several dissolutions of the Assembly and the refusal of the people generally to acquiesce in the inimical legislation of Parliament (all of which is fully related in the several histories of Georgia), we note as a partial result of these disturbances and dissensions that there is no Act of the Assembly extant between Act No. 208 (Watkins' Digest), approved May 10, 1770, and Act No. 214, approved Sept. 29, 1773, and there is neither text or title of any Act. And further, in order "to punish the Assembly for their conduct, Gen-" "eral Gage withdrew all the troops (i. e., such as were on the" "royal establishment), from the Province, thus leaving the forts" "unmanned and the settlement without defense." * * * And the Governor lamented this, as it deprived him of the means of en forcing his authorityt and he dared not call out the militia lest, as he said "he should arm more against him than for him."
There was also resulting from all the dissensions of the times much disorganization amongst the militia; change of officers, &c, of which their is very little record.
The Militia Act of 1765 (which was to expire in the year 1771, had not up to 1773 been renewed or continued. However, Act No. 214 (Watkins' Digest), approved Sept. 29, 1773, was an "Act for better ordering the Militia."
In the fall of 1775 the power of the Royal Government was at an end. All executive and legislative power was vested in the "Coun cil of Safety," who entered earnestly upon the businss of appoint ing officers for the Militia.
*A fourth regiment, vli.. In St. George'* Parish, was created In 1774. ^Stephens' History of Georgia. Vol. 11.. p. 130.
.
UNDER THE COUNCIL OF SAFETY, THE PROVINCIAL ASSEMBLY AND STATE GOVERNMENT.
On the meeting of the Provincial Congress, 22nd January, 1776, "The organization of the militia" was a subject for immediate and earnest deliberation; and the most efficient measures were taken to enroll, officer, arm and equip the inhabitants, and to put them in readiness for any emergency. Volunteer companies, as riflemen, rangers and infantry, were also formed in several of the parishes and reported themselves for service.?
It is hardly to be supposed that the Troop of Horse Militia which had been necessarily maintained throughout all the preced ing years ceased to exist under the alarming and exciting condi tions which led up to the Declaration of Independence, and yet we can find little of mention of them in history.
There are good grounds, however, upon which to base the claim that they did exist.
On 2nd March, 1776, when the attempt was made by the British forces to cut out the ships laden with rice (and refused a clearance), which lay at the wharves on the north bank of the Savannah river, among the Provincial troops present we find the "St. John's Ran gers," a troop of Horse from Liberty county, and among the in dividuals conspicuous and active in resistance to such attempt, we find mention of Lieutenants John Morel and James Bryan,t Lieu tenants, as subsequently appear of Light Horse, and presumably such of the troop of Horse militia of Savannah.
At some date between July 4, 1775 (the date of assembly of the Provincial Congress of the Province of Georgia which created the "Council of Safety") and the early spring of 1776, there is in exist ence two companies of Horsemen.* "Along the Florida line a troop of sixty mounted men, a body of like strength guarded the western frontier." The first commanded by William Mclntosh,} with Hatton Middleton as Lieutenant, and the second by Leonard Marbury, with Thomas Hovenden the First Lieutenant and Charles Middleton as Second Lieutenant. Two other companies were soon after created. One under command of Benj. Few as Captain, with Ignatius Few as First Lieutenant, and the other under Thomas Ho venden (who had been First Lieutenant under Marbury), with John

Stewart as First Lieutenant. These four companies were constituted the " Georgia State Regiment of Horse,"J as authorized by the Gen eral Assembly of the State of Georgia at its session of January, 1776, to the command of which William Mclntosh was appointed as Lieutenant Colonel, with Leonard Marbury as Major, and An thony Norway as Adjutant.
On July 5, 1776, General Charles Lee, the commander of the Southern Department, recommended that "the four troops already raised be augmented to a regiment" and put upon the Continental establishment. A fifth company was soon after added, with James (?) McFarland as Captain and Nicholas Bryson as Lieutenant, and a sixth company, with ---------- Cade as Captain, and Wm. Bugg as Lieutenant.
"In June of 1776, Captain John Baker led an expedition of sev-" "enty mounted militia against 'Fort Tonyn,' on St. Mary's river," "but through the desertion of the 'McGirths' he was defeated with" "the loss of many of his horses."
In addition to the orders above recited bodies of observation were kept in motion between the several posts on the southern frontier, commanded by Captain Screven (of St John's Rangers), Baker and Cooper of militia, and Lieutenants Few (Ignatius) and Williams (of Marbury's company) of the Continental Light Horse.*
The following items concerning these companies appear as orders in the minutes of the Council of Safety:
May 14, 1776. "To Captain William Mclntosh: You are hereby ordered to go with the Troop of Horse under your command and take the fort now in possession of Germain and Charles Wright," &c. Signed "A. Bulloch."
May 15, 1776. "That orders be issued to the Captains of the two Troops of Horse, that they exert their utmost endeavor to prevent the murder of any Indians."
May 16, 1776. "Ordered that Captain William Mclntosh build forts, &c., for detachments of his company of Horse on the Altamaha; also on St. Mary's river."
In response to the recommendation of General Charles Lee, the" "Continental Congress ordered July 24, 1776: "That the like num-" "ber of Rangers (as in South Carolina)^ be raised in the State of "Georgia and put upon Continental establishment. That they be" "entitled to the same pay and subject to the same duties as the"
men.

The prompt organization of this Battalion of Horse under com mand of Lieutenant Colonel Wm. Mclntosh is in further recogni tion of a necessity still existing for Rangers or Horsemen, t
In the winter 1776-77 Colonel Mclntosh resigns, as also Major Marbury, and are succeeded by John Baker as Colonel, with Wm. Baker as Major.
In April, 1777, Colonel Baker proceeds with a part of this command to affect a junction with the force under command of Colonel Elbert, on the St. Mary's river.
After crossing the Altamaha river at Fort Howe, he is attacked by Indians on May 4, Lieutenants Fraser and Robison (or Robin son) being wounded. Proceeding thence he arrived on the St. Mary's river, and on May 12 is again attacked by a force of Loy alists and Indians under Colonel Brown and McGirth, by which he suffers a loss of eight killed, nine wounded and thirty-one captured. Among the killed, Lieutenants Fraser and McGowen (or McGown), and among the captured, Captain Ignatius Few and Cap tain Wm. Williams. Private Coleman was drowned and Private Clarke missing.
In bringing forward the record of acts subsequent to the Inception of tbe government by tbe people, It Is In advance of the date to which tbey refer, bnt Is done for the purpose of compact relation of legislation affecting the militia.
^Following this organization a "Battalion of Horse" for doty, particularly on the North west frontier of the State, was raised, nnder command of Colonel Coleman. and on tat disbanding of the two regiments of mlnntemen another battalion of "fl>e Independent Companies of Hone," to be under command of Major Jeremiah Wilder, was organlied u> March. 1778.

At some date in 1777, and prior to July of that year, the follow ing additional companies (as appears in the following return), were incorporated into this Battalion of Horse, viz.: That of Captain Joseph Faulk's, James Bryant, John Dooly and Benjamin Walker. The last apparently taking the place of the original Marbury troop, seemingly disbanded, as also McFarland's and Cades' troops.t

In October of 1777 John Baker resigns as Colonel of the Battalion of Light Horse and he is on October I3th succeeded by Leonard Marbury. Without any purpose" to follow the service of this command I must say that I find but little in the records to warrant an inference that the first troop of Horse Militia,the troop at Savannah--was ever incorporated into this Battalion, or in any otherwise put upon the Continental establishment.
On March 25, 1778, John Morel and John Bilbo appear by the original Sheftall Papers* to be Lieutenants of Light Horse, the for mer probably of the Horse Militia, and Bilbo possibly so. In the Minutes of the Executive Council, under this same date, viz.: March 25th, a commission is ordered to issue to John Morel as> First Lieutenant, without designation of company or arm of ser vice.
In these Minutes, under date April 13, 1778: "Necessity declared for two volunteer companies of militia--one of Cavalry and one of Artillery, to consist of men from the Battalion of Chatham County Militia." To be officered (the Cavalry) by one Captain, one Lieu tenant, and one Cornet.
On I5th August, 1778, appears this Minute: "That company of Horse in town of Savannah recommend some one to command vice James Habersham, declined.' 1
There is no record on these Minutes to show who was recom mended or appointed, nor any information as to the other officers of the troop.
But in the "Shefta'l Papers" there is order for rations signed by "John Morel," as Captain of Light Horse.
The above recited extracts indicate the existence of the Troop of Horse, Militia, in the fall of 1778.
In the capture of Savannah by the British on 28th of December, 1778, all American troops, Continental and Militia, suffered serious losses, and all organizations were impaired and were soon to real ize in the defeat of Ashe on Brier Creek, almost disintegration^ and we find little of record concerning these Continentals after this, and nothing concerning this Troop of Horse Militia, unless they or some of them became a part of that force of mounted men who had put themselves under the orders of Lieutenant Colonel Marbury for participation in the assault upon Savannah on the />th of October, I7/9.Z
This failure of the French and American forces to recapture Sa vannah resulted in the overrunning the State of Georgia by the British Regulars, Royalists, Tories and Indian allies, and all inhabi tants along the coast and between Savannah and Wilkes county

who would not submit to British rule had their dwellings razed, their farms laid waste and they suffered every indignity and as sault that malignant cruelty could inflict upon them.f
The- care and safety of wives, children and aged parents was matter of first consideration, and as refugees they were toiling to reach a place of safe retreat in the mountains of Western North Carolina.
This accomplished, the arms-bearing men could turn to the confronting the foe and recovery of the "ashes of their homes." This resistance was not in organizations as desired and established by the State Government, but on occasion under intermittingly in response to the call of some of the active partisan leaders of Geor gia, like Twiggs, Clarke, Candler, Few, Jackson and others like wise faithful to the end, who relentlessly followed the foe, in the Carolinas and in Georgia and fell upon him as opportunity oc curred, until he was compelled to vacate the State.*
During a part of this trying period the State was without a Governor and other administrative officers, and when existing they were much of the time in flight, in effort to escape capture.
While some of the official records of the State were removed to places of safety, loss and damage followed this much and frequent handling. Many of such records were wantonly destroyed. Through these two agencies there is little of history of the Georgia soldier during the Revolutionary War.
The subsequent removal of these papers, alter the Declaration of Peace, from Savannah to Augusta, and from Augusta to Louisville, and from Louisville to Milledgcville, and from Milledgeville to At lanta, all wrought out farther loss and damage. But it remained for Sherman's "bummers" when they fell upon Milledgeville in De cember, 1864, to give an exhibition of wanton vandalism in the cruel havoc that they wrought, exceeding the execrable deeds of General Rosse and his army of British soldiers, and Admiral Cockburn, when they burned the capitol at Washington. 3
It is not likely that under the adverse conditions prevailing in Georgia from ist of January, 1779, to July II, 1782, that any of the Militia organizations were able to keep up a continuity of service conforniably as such, but they were the while liable to service un der the law and subject to the orders of the Governor. But many of them served in commands other than their own for temporary service and at the call of active Partisan leaders. In the Histories of Georgia we have mention of several such with resulting attacks upon British outposts and foraging parties extending even to the outskirts of the town of Savannah.t

In one of these forays, 1781, Captain John Bilbo was mortally wounded, captured by the British and tarried to Savannah, where he died. It was impracticable to maintain original organization, but for such service as they did render they deserve recognition.
It is impossible to say what number of soldiers the State of Georgia furnished to the Revolutionary War.
From extracts from manuscripts of Colonel James Jackson* (who as Colonel of the Georgia Legion, and in recognition of gallant and distinguished service, was designated to receive the surrender of the town of Savannah on nth of July, 1782), "the" "State of Georgia in the year 1775 had one thousand Militia con-" "slant ly in service, which number was continued until the spring" "of I776.f
"In the years i776-/7 the Militia in active service may be com-" "puted at seven hundred and fifty, exclusive of two Battalions of " Minute Men, which were in service to July, 1778, of seven hun-" "dred and fifty each, and a State Regiment of Horse, supposed" "two hundred and fifty, with three additional troops of forty men," "each under the command of a Major."$
"In the year 1778, exclusive of the State Corps, there were two" thousand Militia in actual service for nearly six months."
"In i779-8o-8i and 82, the Mitlitia may be computed at seven" "hundred and fifty constantly in service for the whole period. * *"
"This is exclusive of the Georgia Legion, raised in 1781, by or-" "der of General Greene."
Captain B. F. Johnson, chief assistant to the Secretary of State: who has made a careful computation, based in the main upon land grants issued to soldiers, estimates the total during the war to be about forty-five hundred.
On the evacuation of the City of Savannah by the British troops on the nth of July. 1782, Governor Martin and the Legislature of the State which had assembled at "Ezenez.er," in Effingham county, on the ist of July (under protection of Continental troops com manded by General Wayne). adjourned to Savannah, "which be came once more the seat of government," when it could be said thai: the legislative, executive and judicial powers were re-estab lished in the Capital of the State. But little of legislation was ac complished.
"Although by this evacuation the State was freed from the pres ence of British regular forces on the seaboard, there yet remained many evils to be redressed and much confusion and misrule to be reduced to order."?

In the absence of mail facilities it doubtless took weeks for the news of the foes' departure to reach the refugees where they had severally found safety, and on reaching the sites of their old dwelling places, all efforts were necessarily directed to the re-estab lishment of their abodes and shattered properties, saving only such, as in self-defense, they were compelled to make against Indian incur sions and marauding plunderers. Subsistence was hard to obtain and existence itself difficult to preserve.
The Militia law of 1773 was yet of force, but its provisions slightly complied with and but little of time to be given to the observance of stated military duties.
However, on the 3oth of July, 1783, an Act was passed contin uing in force "All laws passed before the agth day of December," "1776, and on the 25th of February, 1784, that all and singular the" "several acts, clauses, and parts of acts that were in force, and" "binding on the inhabitants of the said Province, on the I4th day" "of May, in the year of our Lord One Thousand, Seven Hundred" "and Seventy-six, so far as they were not contrary to the Consti-" "tution, laws and forms of government now established in this" "State, shall be, and are hereby declared to be in full force, virtue," "and effect, and binding on the inhabitants. &c."
From March, 1781, the date of full ratification of the Articles of Confederation, until the 17th day of September, 1787, when the Constitution of the United States of America was ratified, the Militia law was such as the State had adopted until the enactment (No. 468, Watkins' Digest), December 14, 1792, was passed adapting the Militia law of the State to conform to the Act of Congress passed on 8th day of May, 1792.
FROM 1784 TO THE WAR OF 1812.
On the gth of Jan. 1784, John Houston was elected Governor of the State by the House of Assembly which convened at Augusta under the terms of a resolution adopted I4th June, 1783, which place was declared to be the seat of government for three months.*
On March ist the Governor laid before the Executive Council assembled at Savannah "the proclamation or ratification of the definitive treaty of Peace." The Council ordered "that it be read and published by the Sheriff through the streets of Savannah, on Wednesday next; that the Militia of the town and the vicinity thereof be paraded and mustered on the occasion," &c.f
This is the first record of a parade of the Militia after the achievement of Independence, without specific designation of the companies composing the same, nor by whom commanded, nor how organized, but presumably under provisions of the Act, No. 287, enacted July 30, 17834
From this date forward to the record contained in Book C of Commissions (which covers the period from Aug. 7, 1800, to April 2, 1806), the only record aside from what is gleaned from the files of the Georgia Gazette** and other old papers in possession of the Georgia Historical Society, is comprehended in the following communications under date Dec. 23, 1872, from Colonel Charles C. Jones, and the two communications following, the one addressed to John Berrien. and the other from Ben Fishbourn, Major Com manding Chatham County Militia:
The following "Interesting Reminiscences" concerning "The Chatham County Militia," is published in the issue of the Savan nah Morning News of date ----------.

The original is before me and the authenticity of the record can not be questioned.

The "town of Savannah at that time constituted but one dis trict," and Captain Schick was designated as the ranking Captain to "take command of the same until further orders." General Elbert was, it is believed, the division commander, and among the names of those who held commissions in the Regiment more than one will be recognized as honorably associated with the heroic memories which belong to the history of our primal struggle for independence. Although the revolutionary contest was ended, and the rude alarms of war were no longer heard within our borders, the absolute reign of white-winged Peace was not yet fully estab lished. Several of the Indian tribes beyond the Altamaha and elsewhere on the confines of the white settlements were restless and inclined to depredations and murders. Upon the evacuation of Savannah, the three hundred run-away-slaves who had been en listed by the British during their occupancy of the city, refused to return to their former allegiance.
Styling themselves the "King of England's soldiers" and at tracting to their companionship the disaffected of their own color they established themselves in the fastnesses of the swamps on both sides of the Savannah river, whence they sallied forth for plunder and butchery, to the constant disquietude and annoyance of the citizens. Although in May, 1786, the fortified camp of the ren egades and free-booters--located on Bear Creek, in Effingham county, had been attacked and carried by the First Regiment of the Chatham County Militia, in concert with certain troops from Beaufort, South Carolina, and many of the marauders killed, num bers escaped who concealing themselves in other tangled brakes, continued the work of theft and pillage whenever an opportunity occurred. The period, therefore, was one of anxiety and disquiet ude, and serious fears were entertained, in various quarters, of in surrections among the negroes. The duties of the companies com posing the First Regiment were, for a long time after the cessa tion of hostilities between England and the United Colonies, con stant and onerous. They were always cheerfully performed. The services then rendered by this old Regiment command and will al ways receive our respect apd gratitude. It is a matter of proud satisfaction and congratulation that the City of Savannah can now, after years of battle, and of unjusifiable restriction and oppression, welcome the revival of this ancient organization in the person of the First Volunteer Regiment of Georgia, and see her sons again bearing arms in her midst, ready as they have ever been, to sustain her honor and maintain her good name, order and integrity in the teeth of every disturbing element
Such was the scarcity of powder in Savannah in 1786, that Col onel James Jackson, in a letter addressed to George Handley, Esq.. the Secretary of the Honorable, the Executive Council at Augusta, under date of the 22nd of June, thus excuses the expenditure of ammunition a few days previous, when the highest funeral honors.
442
both civic and military, were paid to General Greene: "I have been compelled to use upwards of one hundred weight at the funeral of that great and good man, General Greene. Will Council be so good as to let me know if they approve of my conduct there, for 1 would rather pay for that powder myself than lay under a censure for it. It was thought here by all ranks of people the least that could be shown the remains of that hero by the State of Georgia."
This high-toned honesty of Colonel Jackson, whose manhood and integrity in the execution of various and honorable public trusts, were always worthy of the highest commendation, is pecu liarly refreshing in this, the day of official corruption and demor alization, and revives the recollection of those Spartan virtues which in such an eminent degree characterized the prominent men of that period.
But I have said more than I intended. Here is a copy of the

Commanding Officer, Savannah Dragoons. Sir:
Be pleased to accept my thanks for your readiness in sending a detachment of Dragoons to recover my property from the plun derers. The brave and active men who form your troop are a very essential protection to the community against the depredations of those unprincipled men who take a station in our back woods and have given us repeated proofs of their disposition to plunder us. My thanks are to Messrs. Legardere, Berrien, Welcher, Bliss, &c., and in a very particular manner to Mr. Young, the Lieutenant who accompanied me, and who behaved with so much propriety on the occasion that it is happy for us that he has a command in our Cavalry.
I am, sir, your most obedient servant.

Regimental Order*.
The Honorable Major General Greene (whose memory ought to be sacred to every, citizen of America and respected by every lover of the rights of mankind), having departed this life, the Colonel,
from a sense sufficient honor cannot be paid his remains, but what is in the power of the Regiment ought to be done, requests the Regiment fo exert themselves on the occasion.
The Regiment will parade in the Church square, the Infantry equally divided into eight platoons, and marched off with shoul dered arms to the front of Major Pendleton's house on the Bay, from whence the procession will take place. The Dragoons and Artillery will proceed in front of the Regiment. When the pro cession begins, the Light Infantry will conduct the corpse, with reversed arms to the left of the Regiment; it being received, thej file off to the right and left, and take thir former post in front of the Battalion. The whole will then march off with reversed arms, the Artillery advancing, firing minute guns, till they arrive at the place of interement, the Dragoons will flank the corpse on the right and left, music playing a solemn dirge. The procession being ar rived at the place of burial, the Regiment will file off to the right and left, face inwards and rest on their arms, so as to let the
corpse, pall bearers, mourners, citizens, &c., pass through. The corpse being deposited and funeral rites executed, the Regiment will close their files, march up on the right of the vault and give three general discharges, the Artillery at the same time firing 13 rounds in honor of this truly great and good man. The Regiment will then march off with trailled arms to the place of parade, shoulder and be discharged.

Under the Council of Safety and up to the End of the Revolutionary War:
Georgia Light Horse, Georgia Light Dragoons, Light Horse men, Light Horse, Light Dragoons, Light Continental Troop, Georgia Continental Light Dragoons, Mounted Gunners, Mounted Militia, Continental Light Horse, Company of Horse.
From 1785 to 1812:
Light Dragoons, Savannah Dragoons, The Dragoons, Troop of Light Horse, Jones' Company of Horse, the Light Dragoons, the Light Dragoons of Chatham County, the Troop of Horse, the Chatham Volunteer Light Dragoons, the Chatham Light Horse, the Chatham Troop of Light Horse, the Chatham Light Horse, The Troop, the Chatham Troop, the Chatham L'ight Dragoons.
Evidently there was no fixed or accepted title for this Troop of Horse until the formation, in 1812, of the "Chatham Hussars," when the title of "Chatham Liglit Dragoons" seems to have been ac cepted.
Passing over the records as they appear in Appendix B, there is little known of the incidents of the service as rendered by the Chat ham Light Dragoons and the Chatham Hussars during the War of 1812. The former troop entered service with a number of men too few in -number to be maneuvered as a separate troop. They were therefore merged with the "Chatham' Hussars," retaining, however, their name and rendering separate muster and inspection returns.*
With the return of Peace in 1815 and consequent discharge of the volunteer- soldiers, it is not likely that their military ardor was equal to the exactions of monthly and quarterly parades which had been previously required of them. They were doubtless somewhat listless and disinclined to drill and not anxious for parades.
The merger of the Chatham Light Dragoons with the Chatham Hussars continued until the close of the War and was then more effectually consummated in the purpose to continue a Cavalry company in Savannah. While the population of Savannah or Chat ham county was sufficient to warrant the existence of two such companies for war service, it was insufficient to support more than one on a peace basis. The exact date of this action is not known,t but it was probably in the fall of 1816, for we have record of a pa rade of the "Georgia Hussars" in uniform Feb. 22, 1817, under command of Captain John Macpherson Berrien (who had been Cap tain of the Chatham Light Dragoons, Aug. 3, 1813, and Colonel of the First Regiment of Cavalry May 18, 1814), with Joseph Haber-

sham, Jr., as First Lieutenant (who had been Cornet of the Chat ham Hussars from 3ist Aug. 1812, to ----------, 1816).
In effecting this merger it is not difficult to understand that the element representing each the Dragoons and the Chatham Hus sars were unwilling to have the title of the other recognized for continuance to the prejudice of their own. Hence a .compromise and the adoption of the title "The Georgia Hussars."*
I do not propose in what I have yet further to present in this sketch to follow out the career of the command. In the relation of the historical facts herein comprehended my purpose has been in a measure fulfilled, although the results are not as adequate as I de sired.
The history of the Georgia Hussars is more or less of record in the files of the Savannah papers and particularly in the files of the Savannah Republican in the Library of the Smithsonian Institute, Washington, D. C., in tlie files of the Morning News, and in the Minute Books of the troop from March 7, 1868, to date. Under its rules it had stated parades and drills. The uniform of 1817 is still the full dress uniform of the troop.t
On stated and extra occasions it held tilting exercises at Head, Ring and Target with sword and pistol, when was exhibited much skill and some elegant horsemanship.
Act JCo. 34, Lamar's Digest. Sec. 33, provides: And, be It further enacted. That after the passing of this Act, all laws and parts of laws organizing a brigade reRlment or squad ron of cavalry in tbls State be, and tbe same are herebj repealed; and tbat not more than one troop of cavalry shall be attached to the several regiments of infantry," etc.
tFor a few years after Its resuscitation, in 1872, a uniform of (tray and gold was substi tuted, but there was soon made a return to the blue and silver, as Is now In use.

In addition to the standard presented by Miss Belcher to the Chatham Troop of Light Horse on Jan. 4, 1800 (see Appendix B), there was presented a standard to the Chatham Hussars in ------, 1813, by Mrs. Geo. W. McAllister. In 1823 a standard (which was made in France), was presented to the Georgia Hussars by Cap tain John Macpherson Berrien, which was received on behalf of the troop by Cornet Ebenezer Jackson. On 24th" Feb, 1841, Colonel Joseph W. Jackson of the First Regiment, presented to the Hus sars a flag which had been made by the Misses Rosignol. Another was presented at some later date (under what conditions not now known). This was the flag in use up to the year 1861. The same being supplanted by the Confederate colors, was not carried into active service, but was folded away and carefully preserved by Mrs. Wm. H. Wiltberger and returned to the command April 14, 1873. The embroidery of this flag was transferred to a new field by Mrs. J. R. Saussy, the widow of Capt. J. R. Saussy (Captain from June 27, 1850, to July 14, 1851), and re-presented by her. This is the company standard of to-day. One of the above flags (probably that made by the Misses Rosignol). which was carefully sealed in a glass case and hung upon the walls of the company drill room (then in the northwest room, third story of the City Exchange building) was captured by some of Sherman's invading host in December, 1864. It has never been returned.
On May 4, 1861, there was presented to the Hussars by Mrs. James H. Johnston its first Confederate flag, the Stars and Bars. This flag was in service on Skidaway Island in June, 1861, and was carried to Virginia by Co. "A'1 of the Hussars, Sept. 17, 1861.*
On the adoption and distribution of the Confederate Battle Flag (the St. Andrew's Cross), the "Stars and Bars" were returned to Sa vannah and escaped capture. This flag is now in comparatively good condition and held in fond possession of the command, as is also the Battle Flag of the Jeff Davis Legion of Cavalry and that of the Savannah Sabre Club.
The Hussars volunteered for service in the Indian War of 1835'36, also for the Mexican War, and under orders of the Governor of the State they were in readiness to move, although not called upon.
In anticipation of war, so imminent in the winter of i86o-'6i, the troop on Jan. 3, 1861, tendered its services to Joseph E. .Brown, Governor of the State of Georgia, with the request that they be put first on the list for acceptance.f
While their services were not accepted in the manner as ten dered, they persuaded Colonel A. R. Lawton of the First Volunteer Regiment of Georgia, commanding at Savannah, to accept them for service, dismounted, to act as Heavy Artillery at Fort Pulaski, and they left for tour of such duty on Jan. 29, 1861.
*See Legend of Co. A. tOn the same evening the Ogletborpe Light Infantry of Savannah tendered tbefr services.
461
Immediately on the organization of the Confederate government at Montgomery, Ala., in February, 1861, the troop made proffer of its services.*
But returning to the period 1817 to 1861, the command often ap peared on ceremonial parades, such as welcome to Presidents of the Militia, State Governors of the State of Georgia (of whom they were by statute and tradition the established escortf) and other distinguished citizens: at the laying of corner stones of mon uments to Greene, Pulaski and Jasper, and others of memorable distinction. In exchange of courtesies, it frequently visited other companies in the state, as also the Cavalry companies in Beaufort District, and Charleston, S. C.; and on several occasions went into camp at Savannah and elsewhere.
Elsewhere :n this compilation appears, in condensed story, a meagre recital of some of the service rendered by Companies "A" and "B" during the Confederate War; the subsequent consolidation of these two troops into one troop, which was effected May 23, 1872.
By the Act of the Congress of the United States, approved March 2, 1867. it was enacted "That the Militia and Volunteer" "companies of the Southern States be and thereby are disbanded" "and prohibited from reorganizing and arming until such time as" "Congress may decide."
While the military existence of the Hussars was thus for a while suspended, this enactment did not affect the civil existence of the troop, which was established by an Act of the State of Georgia, ap proved Dec. 15, 1859, incorporating the command a civil corpora tion. The military organization was thus in abeyance until May 23, 1872. But there was nothing in this Congressional Act of 1867 that denied to the citizen the right to "bear arms," and in the full exer cise of this Constitutional right many of the Hussars, uniting with others who had proven themselves to be good Confederate soldiers, organized, on Feb. 25. 1871, a mounted social club, i. e., the "Savan nah Sabre Club." A uniform of gray was adopted, sabres and pis tols were secured and frequent parades were made. They held tilt ing exercises at Head, Ring and Target and were ever ready to sustain Stale and Municipal authorities.
The Sabre Club while organized a civic body, was more properly to be regarded as a quasi military command. But on resumption of military functions by the Georgia Hussars the Sabre Club was absorbed by it, its former members returning to their first allegiance and many others of the club united with them.
The Minute Books of the Hussars from May 23, 1873, unto date are extant, and while the record of transactions and incidents are not as full and complete as they ought to be, they can be supple mented from the files of the "Morning News."
*See Legend of Co. A prucecling. *See Act. 17<i5. preceding.
462
They reveal the fact, however, that the Hussars resumed the role of duty. Drills, parades anil tilting contests were renewed with all zest, ancl a new accomplishment was acquired when they entered the lists with their fellow soldiers of other commands in the use of the Military Rifle. The Buffet of the troop is laden with trophies illustrating success i:i this line, ancl it may. I think, fairly be said paved the way to the appearance of tile Savannah and State marksmen in competition with representatives from other states in the contests at Sea Girt, N. J., now a National meet. For a condensed statement of achievements in such contests, see Ap pendix F, prepared by (then First Sergeant of the Georgia Hus sars), Lieutenant Colonel John C. Postell r-.nd Assistant Ordnance Officer of the State of Georgia. To him belongs the credit of inaugurating the movement to Sea Girt which has been handsomely aided and fostered by the other commands of the city of Savannah and other cities, and is now upheld and sustained by the military officials of the State of Georgia.
There is much of interesting matter yet to be told that will illus trate the efficiency of the command, but the relation of it devolves upon some successor who may be inclined to compile it. This nar rative is full enough exten'ed, and 1 am warned to bring it to even a sudden termination. It has its deficiencies, but I hope it may be of some service.

sent the Chatham Troop of Light Horse, under your command, with a suit of colors. In obeying her wishes, I perform a task very grateful to my own heart, when I reflect that in delivering you this standard, it is placed under the protection of men devoted to the cause of their country, and proud of supporting the happy Govern ment under which we live. I feel a conscious satisfaction, that in your hands it will never be tarnished, and my daughter will derive
no small pleasure when she knows that among those respectable protectors to whom she commits her patriotic offering, she can view a much regarded father. I tender you, sir, and the Troop un der your command, my best wishes for your health and prosperity.
"Eleanor Belcher."
The following is the reply of Captain Gordon:
"Mrs. Eleanor Belcher, Madam:
"The elegant standard presented by you in the name of your daughter to the Chatham Troop of Light Horse, under my com mand, is received by them with very great pleasure. Be assured, Madam, that such proofs of more than Spartan virtue in the fair of our country, can not fail to inspire the most patriotic emulation. Having associated at a time when we believed our country menaced, and conscious of our just and proper attachment to that happy country and the Government under which we live, we may well as sure you that should times and circumstances require it, our lives, and property shall be offered in their defense, and that in such an alternative, it shall be no small gratification or excitement of our ardor that we are at the same time defending the very signal gift of infant patriotism, a pledge we shall hardly forfeit.
"I am. Madam, very cordially joined by the Troop under my command in reciprocating good wishes for your health and pros perity.

APPENDIX C.
As to the Ambuscade.
Elizabeth, N. J., July 7, '97. Sir: Your letter of June 26th, '97, is before me unanswered at this writing. I am very busy at present, but you will get a full and truthful answer to all your inquiries just as soon as I can get the time to answer. ' I am the only one alive, on our side, knowing all the inside workings of the office in question, and therefore I desire to give you a truthful statement.
I am, sir, very respectfully, etc., Edward S. E. Newbury,
Late Captain U. S. V., Third New Jersey.
Elizabeth. N. J., July 23rd, 1897. Sir:
At your request and in justice to all concerned, I append hereto my answer from memory and request that if you see fit to publish any part of this letter the paper (marked) be sent me that I may take my own part and not receive a blow below the belt. I have been compelled to use the. personal pronoun I, because I am the only one alive of the three who knew the undercurrent--there are several who were of this command living here, but their story does not tally. I have sent you a journal containing a partial history of part of. this event and with the express understanding that you re turn the same to me. The lines underscored are true to a citizen but not true as a military man would view them--use the word "Vidette" instead of "rebel picket line"--and while the word "scout" seems out of place, still my informant was first with his master in the Confederate lines and then at the' house of D. Fitzhugh, as you will see further on.
Awaiting anxiously your reply or receipt of some kind, I am, sir, Very respectfully, etc., yours, E. S. E. Newbury,
Late Capt. Co. E, nth Regt., N. J. V., and Capt. and A. D. C. to Maj. Gen. French.
P. S.--Did a man by the name of Cuthbert belong to the Hussars, and was his home in Newark, N. J.?

What Led Col. Taylor to Prepare this Ambuscade.
Our picket line, of brigade, First, Second, Third and Fourth N. J. V., was nightly fired upon and we were informed it was by a band of forty scouts known as the Louden County Scouts. I was a native of North Carolina. My mother from the city of New York, and my sympathies were, therefore, with Northern people, and after the John Brown affair I became a Jersey man, enlisting as a private in Co. D, Third Regiment. Being familiar with night patrol work, in North Carolina, I was placed in the drum and fife corps in order that I might be made more available, and after the first battle of Bull Run I was given a pass to go where and when I willed, some times with instructions, sometimes without. Taylor as well as Kearny, were officers in the Mexican war, and both were in touch with my reports when there were any to make.
On the 4th or sth day of November, 1861, I took with me, of mycompany, J. Edwards, a young Englishman, and we went to the house of David Fitzhugh, who had left home with- his family. There was a negro woman in a nearby cabin, whose son was dying and she told us that Fitzhugh was coining that night. We waited until mid night, when five men appeared on horseback. We were in the gar den, but followed their movements. It was quite dark and we en tered a vacant kitchen to get all the information we could. We were attacked by them. Edwards was badly wounded. I fired at the horsemen and feel sure I did some execution.
From that time I worked faithfully day and night to capture the Louden Scouts, staying out four or five days at a time, sleeping anywhere and everywhere until Dec. 3rd I got the most reliable in formation from a negro (who he was I cannot remember), but I think belonged to D. Fitzhugh, but it was at or near the property of D. Fitzhugh. I made all possible haste to report to Colonel Taylor, who in turn sent me to General Kearny. In a moment the General was fired as though going into action. I went for Captain Wilson (Chief of Staff) and he wrote the following order, as neatly as I can remember:
"Colonel Taylor will take of his command what men he may think
proper and go out and capture or destroy the Louden Scouts. Yott
may advise with Scout Newbury, who you will take with you.
(Signed)
"By order Kearny."
We carried the old Springfield musket with ball and three buck shot, but at my suggestion Taylor sent to Alexandria and bought two bags of buck-shot and the men added more shot to their charge. I piloted the troop and went all the way through the woods, crossed the Acotinck creek on the Guinea road and continued on to the forks of the Guinea road with the Burke's Station road. I had taken down wire from the telegraph poles which we cut to form an ob stacle to the Cavalry. At this point the mud was very deep, and I
480
had a map of this spot, which I had laid before General Kearny, and so interested was Kearny that at one time he sent one of his aides (Jackson, brother of VVolcott Jackson of Pennsylvania Rail road fame) to view this spot and advise on the location. On his advise this spot was selected and no time was wasted in putting up the wires, one wire to reach above the knee of the horse, the other to take the rider in the breast.
But now several things happened which I could not control. I knew the troop would come from Fairfax by the Guinea road, as they did, but Taylor was just as sure they would come from Burke's Station, And so the force was divided. I with the Captain of my company and half the men, was left at the wire and within ten feet of the road.
Then I plead with him not to go on the Burke's Station road, but to take part of the force and form a barricade of bayonets when the Cavalry had closed up to the wire and firing commenced. This he abruptly refused, but granted me permission to take seven men and endeavor to keep them in, but would not separate more than 10 or 15 paces from wire party.
I must now refer you to the following map that you may better understand:
481
A. Men at wire. B. Taylor and his men. C. 7 men and myself. Crosses in road represent cavalry
when closed np to the wire, and showing their rear almost abreast of the 7 men under my command.
482
Then to my astonishment, we were ordered that when the senti nel should run in and report the advance of the Cavalry, every man should cock his piece and take aim and await the order, "Fire." I could not openly oppose this order, for I had several times been called a traitor because of my family relations in North Carolina, but I tried to urge the capture, which I was sure could have been easily effected with little or no bloodshed. When the order came it seemed to me as a volley on practice, so prompt was the response to the order, and the Fifth Georgia Hussars caught what had been intended for the Louden Scouts.
Question ad.--Had he any information of the foray which the Hussars set out to make upon the camp of the Third N. J. V.?
I cannot think that you were of ihat Georgia Regiment, for the Third Regiment was in and around Fort North, and it would have been foolhardy, at that early date, for the whole Army of Virginia (Confederate) to have made such an attack, for beside Fort Worth, we were in easy range of Fort Albany (I think was the name), Fort Elsworth and Fort Lyons, besides other earthworks. So you see it could not have been that you with 40 men attempted to attack the camp of the Third. But there was no other information but I gave before.
3rd.--What number of men constituted the force detailed for this service?
Eighty men, and were detailed from each of the ten companies. 4th.--What officers were in charge of it, and what casualties if any befell the Third New Jersey? Colonel Geo. W. Taylor in charge, commanding; Captain Frank L. Knight, Captain Co. D., Third Regiment N. J. V. Adjutant Robt. D. Dunham (died after war), Third Regiment. Surgeon Cox went with us to the house of Mrs. Lee and did not cross the Accotinck. There were three of us wounded: J. Hackerty, struck in the leg with cut slug; a soldier whose name or company I cannot remem ber, was severely wounded and was somehow left on the field all night, but was recovered in the morning, who died more from ex posure than from wounds (ice formed that night), and myself. I received twelve distinct wounds: arm, side and breast. One was a pistol shot and the eleven must have been fired from a double-bar relled gun loaded with cut slugs. No other men suffered a scratch. Now, sir, I have been frank and honest in all I have written and. am prepared to affirm to the above facts. The last clause of your letter touches the tender spot in my heart, else I never should have answered your note. It is this: "The soldiers of the late unpleas antness surely learned to respect each other and in their breasts there never existed the ill will so aboundingly existing in the hearts of curb stone warriors," and this would have been the reason: When Lieutenant Dunham and myself were wounded that night an empty wagon was taken from the widow Lee's residence, and he
483
and I were laid in it and the men pulled us to the camp where, by order of General Kearny, we had a room specially fitted up for Dunham and Newbury in Seminary Hospital. Edwards was added to our number. Edwards teased Dunham and slurred him as a Reb., etc. But I stood by Dunham, and we became fast friends. General Kearny sent Dunham two new shirts and a $5.00 gold piece, and when we parted Dunham said to me: "If you ever get in my posi tion send word to me and you will know that I do not forget your friendship." This led me years ago to address a letter to the Post master, Savannah, Ga., inquiring for T. Dunham, that I might re turn him his sword and the letter was given to the press and all kinds of unpleasant things were said from Georgia to Tennessee of General Kearny and myself, and then Mr. Dunham appointed some curb politician who insultingly thought that I had asked for a bid for the sword, that we were all cowards, etc., etc.
Of course I would have nothing to do with the man, but was only glad to return the sword to the relatives of brave T. Dunham, for which I have never received an acknowledgement of its reception, only what you write in your letter.
Will be glad to receive a statement, as you speak of in yours giv ing full details, and if anything in this, my statement, seems to conflict in any way with those who were participants, I will gladly take the same under advisement and correct or explain the same.
August 3Oth, 1897. Captain E. S. E. Newbury,
51 West Jersey St., Elizabeth, N. J. My Dear Sir:
Yon already have acknowledgment of my receipt of your inter esting letter in courteous response to my letter of inquiry concern ing the ambuscade in which the "Georgia Hussars" were involved on the night of Dec. 4-5, 1861; as also the copy of the "Elizabeth Journal" which contains your communication, in part relating to this incident. I find no trouble in reconciling the phraseology of the printed account with your written statement, but am unable to con jecture how the "scout" (of the printed account) or negro, probably belonging to D. Fitzhugh, could have been possessed of any infor mation concerning the contemplated foray upon the camp of the Third New Jersey Regiment
From my account of the origin and circumstances of the incident, you will note that there is a striking confirmation of your recitation of facts,--as it could not be otherwise when naught in malice is set down, and when our mutual purpose has been to present facts.-
I have been delayed in my response, mainly because of effort to consult with some survivor of "our side," and with him review the incidents of the story, but they are nearly all deceased, or being away from the city are beyond reach. Lieutenant Gordon (of the story), now Colonel of the First Regiment Cavalry, G. V., is alive but
484
absent from the city, and therefore I cannot submit to him your letter and my response. I will submit same to him on his return, and should bis recollection be materially at variance with my account, I will further advise you. There are several survivors of the "Hus sars" (but not present in the ambuscade) to whom I have submitted my account, which is confirmed by them. I have also tried to see Mr. B. Dunham, but he is almost always out of the city.
I would like, also, to know if it be your pleasure to reveal same, the name of the Postmaster at Savannah who treated your letter of inquiry concerning Dunham with so much of discourtesy, as also the date, if you can designate it.
Incidentally, five or six of the Hussars will attend the meeting of sharpshooters to convene at Sea Girt, N. J., on August 30th, in com pany with other representatives of military organizations of Savan nah. As they are all very good shots with the rifle musket, even better than the War Hussars were with shot guns, I am happy to congratulate you that there are other targets for the illustration of their prowess than the body of your good self. You will find our representatives at Sea Girt a little nearer to the Jersey men than they were at the Bog Wallow; indeed, "cheek by jowl," and in active interchange of courtesies, day time and night time.
Kindly submit to Cuthbcrt my relation. It will doubtless interest him; also, please convey to him assurances of kindest remem brance, with the hope that his lines have fallen in pleasant places. He will doubtless sing for you "the little pigs lay with their tails all curled," etc., and while he has a pleasant voice for conversation I will not vouchsafe its character for the utterance of harmony in song, and I beg for him on this occasion that you do not open fire upon him while singing.
Very respectfully yours, etc., A. McC. Duncan.
THE STORY OF "BOG WALLOW."
By way of Preface.
The "Georgia Hussars" is a cavalry organization of the city of Savannah, Georgia, dating its organization from 1736. When the conflict between the States was imminent they equipped themselves for active service. On inauguration of the Confederate Government at Montgomery, Ala., on Feb. 4th, 1861, they made tender of service for duty in Virginia, "free of all cost to the government as far as Richmond, Va." They were fully armed with sabres, Colts' navy pistols, and Maryland rifles, and fully equipped otherwise, at their own cost, with everything else requisite except wagons for field transportation. The response to their tender received from L. P. Walker, Confederate Secretary of War, was: "Got no use for cav alry." (As to the wisdom of this declaration, let the subsequent conduct of the war and its concluding days attest).
On the night of the battle of "Bull Run," however, the need of Cavalry was realized, and intimation was wired that the services of the "Hussars" would be accepted for duty in Virginia upon the terms originally proposed. This fact coming to the knowledge of Jos. E. Brown. Governor of the State of Georgia, he issued orders to prevent them leaving the State, and directed in the event of noncompliance that the State's arms should be. ''turned in." The "Hus sars" having definitely determined to go to Virginia, paid no heed to the interdict, and surrendered their arms.
To secure arms otherwise, they invaded the garrets and cellars of every household of citizens previously members of the troop, and brought to light and into use many sabres of such fashion as had been used in the "Revolutionary War" and the "War of 1812," bought pistols of every style and calibre and double-barrelled shot guns; secured a supply of ammunition; and took such other meas ures for proper equipment as the peculiar conditions imposed. Be cause of limited resources much delay ensued, and it was not until Sept. i?th, 1861, that they were fitted to commence the journey to Richmond. It cost within a fraction of $25,000 to carry out the proposition of "free of cost to the government."
On reaching Virginia they were privileged to determine their assignment. There being at that date in the Army at Centreville, Va., under command of General Jos. E. Johnston, two incomplete regiments of Cavalry, viz.: the Fourth Virginia, Colonel Beverly Robertson; and the Sixth Virginia, Colonel Charles W. Field (for merly Assistant Instructor of Cavalry Tactics at West Point and subsequently Major General succeeding John B. Hood in command of his division), they elected the Sixth Virginia, and reporting to
L
486
Colonel Field the Hussars were complimented with position on the right of the Regiment, being Co. "E" of the same, and were asso ciated in squadron with a troop under command of Captain Dulaney, who was subsequently Colonel of the Seventh Virginia, and sometimes Acting Brigadier of the old "Ashby" Brigade.
Within ten days after the ambuscade, the Hussars were trans ferred to the Jeff Davis Legion of Cavalry (composed at that date of three companies from Mississippi and two companies from Ala bama), becoming Co. "F" of that organization. The Jeff Davis Legion was commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Wm. T. Martin, sub sequently Major General, Wheeler's Corps of Cavalry, Army of Tennessee. Captain J. Fred Waring of. the "Hussars" succeeded Martin in command of the J. D. Legion as its Lieutenant Colonel, the Battalion being raised to a Regiment
Now as to
The Story of the Bog Wallow.
(which is the name by which we designate the locality of the am buscade).
In the latter part of the month of October or the first week in November, 1861, a review of General Van Dora's Division of In fantry (four brigades), was held at a short distance from the camp of the Sixth Virginia Cavalry. This review was attended by Colonel Field and many of his command. On its completion General Van Dorn, acompanied by some of his staff, repaired to the headquarters of Colonel Field for refreshment and interchange of courtesy. After a general discussion of the situation, it was said that General Van Dorn remarked to Colonel Field: "If you will ascertain that any considerable force of the enemy are so far removed from support as to prevent prompt succor, I will take out my division and stir them up." Colonel Field immediately sending for Captain Waring of the "Hussars," made known to him this proposition of General Van Dorn, and asked if he (Waring) would undertake to secure the information, to which Captain Waring replied that he would en deavor to do so. On that same evening, if my memory is correct (probably Nov. 3rd) Waring set out from the camp of the Sixth Vir ginia Cavalry, accompanied'by First Lieutenant David Wauldhauer, Corporal R. C. Guerard and Private Lachlan H. Clemens. On their way out toward the line of the enemy they espied a lot of turkeys at roost in the premises of an abandoned homestead (probably the D. Fitzhugh house, just across and east of the Accotinck) and de termined to take them in on their return trip, after completion of the reconnaissance. Pushing on toward Alexandria, Waring ac quired such information as led him to report that he thought the Third New Jersey Regiment ot Infantry was so situated in their encampment that it was possible to surprise them.
487
On the way back, after the reconnaissance, they stopped at the abandoned house with purpose to secure the turkeys, and Private Clemens dismounting passed over the fence into the enclosure and approached the kitchen. On opening the door of the same he was fired upon. One of the shots aimed at Clemeas glancing from the fence or passing through a panel of same, struck Captain Waring on the outside of his thigh with the force of a spent ball, whereupon Waring sung out, thinking that Clemens was shooting at the tur keys: "Look out! "Lach,' you're shooting me." To which "Lach" replied, being at the moment engaged in the interchange of shots with some one or more persons in the kitchen: "Captain, there are several of us shooting here." Immediately after he regained his horse and the party retired from the inhospitable household. In his subsequent relation of the circumstances, Clemens expressed himself of the belief that the kitchen was full of Yankees. Is it not likely that the occupants of the kitchen on this occasion were Newbury and Edwards? The results of the reconnaissance were made known to Colonel Field, and it is to be supposed were communicated to General Van Dorn; but no movement was instituted by him, nor did Colonel Field, so far as I know, issue any order based upon the re port made to him.
On the 4th of December, in discharge of their tour of duty on the outpost, the Hussars were detailed for picket duty and repaired to the occupancy of the line which extended from Fairfax C. H. by way of Fairfax Station to Sangster's X Road, the number of men reporting for duty, four officers and twenty-three men. The reserve being established at the Daingerfield House, but a short distance west of the Station, videttes were posted in advance of the Court House, the Station and X Road.
At about 10 o'clock of the night of the 4th of December, Captain Waring made known to the undersigned, at that date the Junior Second Lieutenant of the Troop, his purpose to move out toward the enemy and that he would leave three (3) men, one at each post, with me with which to maintain the outposts (a mark of great con fidence in my prowess or abundant assurance that the enemy would not move upon me during the night). Would General Johnston have slept complacently had he known of the slight defense that in tervened between his army and that of the foe? Captain Waring did not make known to me either previous to the movement or at the moment of going forth, what was his destination or purpose, and while he may have entertained the design to utilize at some time on his own motion the information obtained by his reconnaissance, I doubt very much if he made the same known to any one previous to the night of its execution, when he probably communicated it to Lieutenants Waldhauer and Gordon.
The purpose of the expedition as contemplated by Captain War ing, was to approach near to the picket line of the enemy and dis mounting, leave ihe horses in some secluded thicket; to then pro-
488
ceed warily to within close proximity of the camp of the Third New Jersey, burst suddenly upon their slumbers and with a yell and dis charge of firearms, surprise, startle and stampede, and in the midst of ensuing excitement, work what damage as could be wrought and retire away to horse. Similar venture successfully undertaken sub sequently by Mosby and other scouts at later dates, when 'the enemy was more on the alert for such attempts and on the lookout for same, show that the purpose was not altogether a reckless one, al though it was "nipped in the bud."
Taking up the route from" Daingerfield House, the Hussars pro ceeded via Fairfax Station and Sangster's X Road across country into the Braddock (as we knew it and not "Guinea," as you call it) Road, probably at or near "Williams" house (See sheet I., plate XII., map of Northeastern Virginia and vicinity of Washington, etc., as published in connection with the "War of the Rebellion"), along which road they moved toward the "Accotinck."
The party consisted of Captain Waring, Lieutenants Waldhauer and Gordon, First Sergeant Dunham and twenty others, twenty-four total. Each one of the party, except Captain Waring, was armed with a double-barrelled shotgun, loaded with buck-shot. (As to slugs. I can neither affirm nor deny, and inasmuch as the guns were loaded after such fashion as each one determined for himself, it is possible that slugs were used by one or more. As you declare that your own wounding was in part from such missiles, you have the ocular and bodily proof that such were fired upon you).
Moving along the road in column of twos, Waring and Waldhauer led, followed by Gordon antl Dunham, and so on to the rear, which was brought up by Corporal Washburn and Private Heidt. Private Clemens was riding in advance, followed within sight by Private Bird, who in turn was kept in sight by Capt. Waring. Being yet some distance away from where they expected to come within hear ing of the enemy, some of the men were singing in subdued tones the comic song of "The little pigs lay with their tails all curled," never dreaming that there lay perdu the little detail of the Third New Jersey with their guns all cocked, and in all readiness to "hurl" upon them a spirited recognition.
On defiling from the cut in the road into the boggy bottom that lay between the cut and the point where wires were stretched across the road, demons' pace was retarded in his passage over the bog, the surface of which being pitted by print of horse hoofs filled with ice, gave uncertain and insecure footing to his horse. Under these conditions "Bird" closed up into close proximity with Clemens, and "Waring" in turn upon "Bird." On reaching the boggy place, how ever, Waring and Waldhauer separated from each other in the at tempt to avoid the bog, diverging in purpose to skirt the edge of the woods adjoining on each side, the men of the two files severally following their leader. This disseveration into two files doubtless secured immunity from greater casualty.
It was soon apparent to "Waring" that "Clemens" and "Bird" had been impeded in their progress. (At this moment also Washburn and Heidt were just emerging from the cut in the road and were about entering the bog). Waring made inquiry: "What is the matter, Lach?" Lach (or Clemens) had barely responded: "Cap tain, there is a rope across the road!" when a volley from the "Knight" startled all hands into a recognition of the fact that it was not a "stilly night."
In consequence of this volley Waring uttered the order: '"Twos left about, charge," which was intelligently interpreted by the "Hus sars" to mean "Get out of there," which they executed by a right and left, about and dash backward toward Fairfax Station. Imme diately after the volley some one of the enemy stationed near the mouth of the cut issued an order "to cross the road," with a view to intercept the process of retirement This order seemingly was not complied with and although it was tactically a good one if it had been executed, it would not, I think, have resulted in any detention of the Hussars, who at that moment were seriously bent upon the execution of a purpose to get out of the bog.
While executing the movement to the rear, seventeen barrels of the forty-four borne by the Hussars were discharged in the direction from whence had come the fire upon them; some of the men dis charging both barrels of their guns, some one barrel, and others again no barrel at all.
In the execution of the about and perhaps at the very moment of its completion, even before a single stride had been made to the rear. Private Heidt was shot in the left leg below the knee, the charge breaking the bone of the leg and passing into the body of the horse, felled him at the mouth of the cut. Over this fallen horse, whose body in a measure blocked the line of exit, each horse in turn had to jump or scramble. Several of the horses fell in at tempting to do so, among them those ridden by Lieutenant Gordon and Privates Ball and Cuthbert. If I recollect rightly, these three horses, together with Heidt's, were lost to us.
During the execution of the movement to the rear, Private Clem ens dismounted, picked up his cap which had been knocked from his.head by a bullet which entered at the front and grazed the top of his skull, and remounted while yet in the bog. Lieutenant Waldhauer dismounted and picked up Heidt in disabled condition, put him upon his (Waldhauer's) horse and carried him safely away.

Note.--This sketch be ing based upon memory, may in measure be faulty, and as you examined the locality more leisurely and more in detail than I did, will be glad to have you suggest any correc tion or modification you may think proper to be made.
This place was surely a cuJ-de-sac and the Hus sars could well congratu late themselves because of their escape from more serious disaster than what befell them.
491
The casualties resulting to the "Hussars" other than the loss of horses already accounted for, were as follows:
CAPTAIN WARING--Wounded in the face, the ball furrowing his cheek. His clothes much riddled with buck-shot.
SERGEANT THOS. H. DUNHAM--Missing. His horse being recovered to the rear, with one stirrup over the saddle, indicating that he had fallen from his seat. Subsequently known to have been wounded and captured.
PRIVATE HEIDT--Wounded in leg below the knee, bone broken. Subsequently died of wound.
PRIVATE McINTOSH--Three buck-shot wounds in shoulder. Recovered.
PRIVATE CLEMENS--Slightly wounded in shoulder, clothes perforated.
The clothes of several other men were perforated, and the coat of Private Bird was well singed with powder, showing a very close proximity with the muzzle of some gun.
The command with the exception of "Dunham" and the missing horses returned to Fairfax Station before day on the morning of Dec. 5th. To this point also at daylight repaired General J. E. B. Stuart at the head of the First Maryland Regiment of Infantry and the First Georgia Regiment of Regulars, with purpose to make a reconnaissance toward the lines of the enemy, but ignorant until he reached the Station of the Hussar expedition. Directing Waring to accompany him with his company, the undersigned was sent for ward with the advance guard. My memory does not avail me at this date to indicate what was the route pursued, points reached, nor other particulars, saving only that we went to "Bog Wallow" and its neighborhood. In the course followed, however, I came up with and captured one of the Third New Jersey bearing his arms (his name forgotten) who stated that he was one of eighty men (eight picked men from each company) detailed to constitute the ambus cade, and that he on hearing the command to "charge" uttered, ex pected the "Hussars" would penetrate into the pine thicket where he was stationed and that in the endeavor to avoid it he became separated from his command and lost. From citizens or negroes we also learned that the casualties resulting to the Third New Jersey were one killed and two wounded, and that they had been removed in a wagon.
In the above recitation of our story, I have been very prolix, and have entered into very minute details--much more so than a simple historative relation calls for, but I desired to put the facts on record, and thought you would not object, if it were even a little tedious. It is not amiss to fight over the battle.
I coincide with you that the trap was not prepared for the "Hus sars," but for the "Louden Scouts" (of whom, by the way, I never
L
492
heard by such title. Could they have been the origin and nucleus of Mosby's men?) and we ingenuously and unwarily entered into the toils. Well, why didn't they come to claim their own?
But whence and from whom did the negro, who informed you of the foray intended to be made on Dec. 4th upon the lines at "Annandale" and "Munson's Hill," obtain such information? Did some other party contemplate an expedition other than the Hussars? This much is still a mystery unsolved, and I suppose to remain so.
It is very gratifying to know of the care and attention shown to Dunham while captive in your hands, by General Kearny (who added to his laurels earned as a hard fighter the graces of kindli ness) yourself and others. By the way, a son of Mr. Walcott Jackson you mention, married two years ago a lady of Savannah, the grand-daughter of Colonel Screven, one of our leading citizens. Some of these Jacksons seem to want to get in close touch with the people of Savannah.
I have as yet taken no steps toward having your account pub lished. Should I succeed in having it published, I will surely send you copy of same.
Respectfully yours, etc., A. McC. Duncan.
Elizabeth, N. J., Sept. 26, 1807. A. McC. Duncan, Esq.
Dear Sir:--You have not given me your military title, so I am compelled to address you as a plain citizen.
In reading over my printed account in the Journal I find a mis take where I state that we "passed out of our lines at Munsel's Hill." It should read "Edsal's" instead of Munsel's Hill. You are right in Braddock Road instead of Guinea Road, as in my account.
After reading your account I must think that there was some un derstanding between D. Fitzhugh, who was interested in keeping his eye on his home as well as an interest in the success of the Southern Army. D. Fitzhugh in turn, possibly, visited his home that night to remove his household effects and in consequence had hired negroes to assist while your Cavalry was out beyond. But, however, you can see plainly, by events as they follow, that my in formation was of a positive nature.
I have always thought that Dunharn knew of the existence of the Louden Scouts, for it seems to me that he told us that the Scouts had been sent on another mission that 4th of December, and the Hussars sent in their place, and there were forty instead of twentythree, as in your statement. But thirty-six years blunts memory, and I must use the phrase "to the best of my memory."
During the Hayes campaign I addressed a letter to "The Post master of Savannah." Did not know his name, nor can I tell you the date any nearer. I simply asked after Dunham, that I might
493
get a history of the sword which we had captured on his person and which had been given to me by order of General Franklyn.
But my real object was to renew the friendship formed while we were in the Hospital together and to return him his sword which I knew he so lamented the loss of. But I did not know he had an swered the last roll call nor did I know that the sword was so much thought of until I got its history from Mr. B. Dunham.
I have examined no map of the location, but I must think that the D. Fitzhugh house was south of the Accotinck creek (not east as you say) and lay between Accotinck and Fairfax, and it lay at least one-fourth mile back from the Braddock road. Xow as we lay in the garden of D. Fitzhugh. one stood guard while the other slept, (we had taken a mattress and covers from the house to the garden) and I feel assured that when the Cavalry came to D. Fitzhugh's house they came through Bog Wollow and turned from Braddock road to D. Fitzhugh's house and did not cross Accotinck before our kitchen skirmish. There were undoubtedly (memory) five horse men, four military and one citizen. They rode in and back of the house to where the negress and sick boy were, and conversed sev eral minutes. Then coming back near the kitchen one dismounted and instead of coming to the back door where he dismounted, he jumped the rail fence at one end of the house and went to the front door. Now Edwards stood at the door with the door open held with his left hand, his Navy in his right, his right foot extended and pistol cocked and arm extended all ready to fire, (but we were there for information and would not show our hand unless forced) so when the soldier came to the door, pistol in hand, he must have seen Edwards between the doors and holding the front door and instantly fired. Ball entered Edwards' arm above the elbow, came out six inches above, then struck in the back about eight inches from the spine and lodged almost against the spinal column.
Now, if you will place yourself as I have described Edwards' posi tion, you will see how this one shot could have made this double wound. Clements (if it was he) then jumped the rail fence at the other end of the house and as he came near the back door I fired at him from my Sharp rifle. At that Edwards fearing that he might fall in your hands, left the kitchen for the woods and left me alone. I loaded my Sharp in a second and then I fired at the four horse men and thought by the little I could see that I had emptied one saddle. Clements went for his horse and a retreat was made by the Cavalry and all was over.
Fearing that the four would surround the kitchen and send for assistance I made my way to the woods .nnd laid for one hour at the gate in the woods hoping to get one more shot. While thus waiting I heard a noise at"the fence and saw a person climbing over. I turned my rifle on him and heard him groan as he got over. Then my mind was on Edwards, and calling found it was he, to my great joy. I got lost that night; not a star was visible and the wind
494
changing I could not hear the roar of the creek. So getting in a corn field I counted the rows to what I thought-was the center, and pulling up corn stalks I laid Edwards down. He was delirious for water and I afraid if I left him I would never find him. Now he must have water and all I had was a monogram cup taken from the D. Fitzhugh house as a memento. (I had taken three sheets of music) I took the cup and by keeping account of the corn rows both ways I finally found water and relieved him by constantly supply ing him.
At 4 o'clock the wind changed, I heard the welcome sound of the creek, but Edwards could not stand, the ball in his back had par tially paralyzed his lower limbs.
I took him on my back and carried him, but the agony was intense --he could only hold to me with one hand. When we got to the creek we had to cross on a log and when we reached the opposite side I slipped and we fell headlong over the stump to the ground.
Edwards shrieked with pain and I jumped to put my hand over his mouth to stifle his cries. I reached camp with him at 7 o'clock p. m. that day. It had drizzled from 2 o'clock that morning until after Edwards was in Hospital, wet, tired and hungry.
Now in your diagram of Bog Wallow you have made it appear like I have placed the dotted line, while in fact it was only a narrow swamp road not more than fifteen feet wide or eighteen at most, and you have the wire placed at X, -while I put it from tree to tree at A.
Captain Waring's informant in regard to the location of the camp of the Third Regiment must have been either a knave or a fool, for I stated in my narrative before given the Third was in Sibley tents in and around Fort North. Our picket line was half mile beyond Edsals house and one and one-half miles beyond our camp, with videttes yet beyond our picket line; then every approach between picket line and forts were well guarded.
After emptying my rifle I ordered my men into the road, but in stantly the flash from both barrels of a gun and I lay insen sible on the ground. Cautiously returning almost at once I was as one in' nightmare. I heard, or imagined, praying and cursing mingled with the shrieks of wounded horses, and finally found I was unable to stand on my feet. I was carried to the widow Lee's house, where Dunham and Newbury were laid side by side in a wagon and drawn in by the men. One of our wounded walked in, the other remained on the field until morning, next, and died soon after reaching the Hospital, more from exposure than from wounds.
In closing. I must thank you for the straightforward, soHierly and gentlemanly wording of your narrative. It should be at this date we who participated in the bloody struggle forget the questions that brought about the unhappy state of affairs and only view each other as heroes, because you as well as we offered our lives freely for the cause we consctentious'y felt called on to defend. For me I would ask no better company, if the needs of our common country
495
called for defense, than such men and officers as entered Bog Wal
low on the night of 4th and 5th December, 1861.
I cannot account for the shot in the leg of Heidt unless in closing
up on the wire he turned and faced our men or turned entirely
around; or else the shot passed first through his horse and then in
his leg, for there was one simultaneous quick discharge, and not
one shot after, as I can remember. .
I am astonished that you cannot place the Louden Scouts, as I
seemed to think that Dunham had told me that they had taken some
of the Hussars occasionally to show them the routes; and also that
the shot that struck Captain Waring first struck the pommel of his
saddle and so saved his life.
I would love dearly well to meet the Hussars at Sea Girt, but can
not get off. Would love dearly well to have a talk about the days
passed into history. Again thanking you for your narrative, etc., I remain,
Respectfully, etc.,
(Signed)

APPENDIX D.
The Death of Second Lieutenant Joseph McLeod Turner, "Georgia Huisan," Company "A."
Because of serious losses inflicted by reason of arduous service and insufficient provender, the Cavalry of the Army of Northern Vir ginia, especially those from the South Atlantic and Gulf States, ex perienced much trouble in keeping themselves mounted. In purpose to remount them a system of furloughs was adopted--"horse fur loughs." The Cavalry of the South provided their own horses.
These dismounted men, in detachments, were sent to their homes under command of a commissioned officer, who was to get them together at some convenient rendezvous and thence march them overland to their respective commands.
In the late summer of 1863 Lieutenant "J. McLeod Turner" of the Hussars was detailed for such duty, and discharging its require ments reported back to his command on the evening of Nov. 6, near Stevensburg, Va.
In fine spirits and exulting good humor he gave tidings of news from home and in all earnestness rejoiced at his return to the firing line. In conviction of immunity from hurtful missiles he con fidently declared that "the bullet was not moulded that was to kill him."
The morning of Nov. 7 brought to the Jeff Davis Legion its turn for picket duty along the Rappahannock. On parade of the Bat talion, as an incident of the service, Lieutenant Turner was the only commissioned officer present with the Second Squadron.
The column was barely en route when Lieutenant Turner rode to the head and requested of the Commanding Officer that he might be excused from duty that day. This request occasioned no little surprise, as Lieutenant Turner was recognized as one always seek ing contact with the enemy and participation in every conflict. It was soon explained by the declaration that he had not yet been able to prepare and submit to the Quartermaster an account as to the expenditure of public monies which had been committed to him, and that this duty discharged, he would report to the front. This was an elegant illustration of his sense of duty, and his request was complied with, although his services were sadly needed.
As the day advanced General Meade put the Federal Army in motion and made a vigorous assault upon the Confederate Army posted along the Rappahannock river. His advance at "Kelley's Ford" was promptly opposed by Gen. P. M. B. Young (and other Confederates) to whom Lieutenant Turner reported, with such men of the Jeff Davis Legion as had remained in camp when the Bat-
497
talion set out for picket. Utilizing this squad as couriers General Young attached Lieutenant Turner to his staff as a temporary A. D. C.
The advance of the enemy was being gallantly and stubbornly resisted by the Phillips Legion of Cavalry, dismounted.
Seeing an opportunity to utilize a mounted regiment to advantage, General Young directed Lieutenant Turner to guide the Second South Carolina Regiment (Colonel Lipscomb) to an indicated point This duty discharged, Lieutenant Turner voluntarily rode out and joined fhe Phillips Legion, .who were being steadily flanked and compelled to give ground. Riding leisurely and composedly up and down the line, uttering words of encouragement and good cheer he was a conspicuous mark for the aim of the enemy not fifty yards away, and yet further to give emphasis to his words, halting his horse in face of the foe, he draws his pistol and deliberately empties its every barrel. With the discharge of his fifth shot he is struck in the forehead and falls dead from his horse, killed instantly. His horse retiring, the body of Lieutenant Turner fell into the hands and keeping of the enemy, but not to spurning or indignity.
Some days after this affair the Battalion at the close of a day of arduous work went into bivouac but a short distance away from where Lieutenant Turner had been killed. The gleaming of the little fires that were soon kindled lit up the canopy of green boughs over head, the weary soldiers were many of them in repose. The per vading stillness was suddenly broken by a squeaky and nasal voice of high pitch that begged to know "where he could find the Captain of the Georgia Hussars."
To this inquiry the Officer Commanding responded: "Here!" when there approached him a lad of apparently thirteen or fourteen years of age, barefooted, jacketless and wearing a single gallus, holding in hand a package neatly embodied and addressed to the "Captain Commanding the Georgia Hussars." with the announce ment: "I have a package for you." Packages of any sort were un locked for by the Hussars, and no hasty conjecture could account from whom or whence could come the present proffer.
On breaking the package there was disclosed the effects found by the foe upon the body of Lieutenant Turner which were ordered to be transmitted through the lines as above by General H. E. Davies, Commanding First Brigade, Third Division of Cavalry of Army of the Potomac. Accompanying the order was the declaration that his command had noticed the distinguished gallantry of Lieutenant Tur ner, and that he had been buried with every respect and a sketch of place of burial was enclosed to indicate the place of interment. Like wise enclosed was the following letter of gracious condolence, which being unaddressed, was by its terms evidently prepared for some loving stricken heart.
498 "Copy."
Headquarters First Brigade,
Stephensburg, Va., Nov. n, 1863.
Enclosed you will find all that was in the pockets* of the late Lieu tenant McLeod Turner, who was killed on Sunday last. I saw him just after he was shot, but in the hurry and confusion of the fight,
did not have time to secure his effects. After the fight was over I sent up and had him buried, and his pockets searched in order to return his effects to his friends if possible. There were only three letters, which I took the liberty to read, in order to discover his name and residence. In one of the letters, it mentioned him wear ing a ring which was wished on. I have made inquiries about
it, and have come to the conclusion that some of your men must have taken it off before they retreated, I have a buttonf that was taken off his coat, which I will keep in my possession until you can send for it, or let me know your address so that I can send it to you. If you have any friends in New York city (my home) or near it, I will send it to them. Lieutenant Turner was a brave officer, and fell at the head of his men. Although I am upon the Union side, and nothing but a Yankee, still I admire bravery even in an enemy. I had him buried in a small clump of pines, south of Stephensburgh. I have tried to give you an idea of the place where he is buried on the little scrap of paper which you will find enclosed. If I can ever be of any service to you whatsoever, provided it does not compromise me in my duty to my country, you must call upon me.
My address in New York city is 179 Water street.
Very respectfully,
(Signed)
Edmund Blunt, Jr..
First Lieutenant and Aid-de-Camp, First Brigade, Third Division
of Cavalry, Army of the Potomac.
P. S.--The Third Division is better known as "Kilpatrick's," and the First Brigade is commanded by General Davies, on whose staff I am.
If we ever make a raid near where you live, I hope you will call on me if you want anything.

The receipt of this package was immediately acknowledged by the same hand that bore it. I regret that a copy of the same is not ex tant; it was, however, full grateful in recognition.
The package with contents were carefully transmitted when occa sion offered to the mother and sister of Lieutenant Turner. To the latter (Mrs. Ellen Giles of Wilmington, N.

APPENDIX E.
The Tribute to Colonel Samuel Fletcher Chalfin.
Appointed as a cadet from his native state of Illinois, Samuel Fletcher Chalfin entered the United States Military Academy at West Point on the ist of July, 1843; and he graduated with distinc tion four years later, standing'seventh in his class. He was com missioned a Second Lieutenant in the First Artillery on the 1st July, 1847, and shortly thereafter he received his "baptism of fire" in the closing days of the Mexican War. A man of versatile talents, his military career was a varied one, including campaigns against In dians in Florida, a professorship of languages at West Point, and much service during and immediately following the war between the States; and when he resigned from the Army on the aoth Sept., 1869, his rank was that of Colonel by Brevet, which he had attained on the i^th March, 1865. Among his pupils at the Military Academy was the late General Robert H. Anderson of Savannah (subse quently a Captain of the Georgia Hussars), and a warm and lasting friendship resulted from that relation.
Like most of the many West Pointers whom it has been my privilege to know, Colonel Chalfin's choice of allegiance in the civil strife was neither inspired nor followed by the slightest feeling of animosity against any section. A Northerner by birth, education and sentiment, it was natural that he should have supported the North's contention when the irrepressible conflict took concrete form in 1861; but, from his viewpoint, the war--which he always re garded as a most regrettable necessity--ended as soon as the Con federacy's armed forces surrendered, and thenceforth he strove earn estly and consistently for the pacification of the entire country. Of his strong convictions in this respect he gave substantial and prac tical proof; and his service as Provost Marshal at Richmond, Va., in the latter sixties deservedly fastened to him and to his memory the sincerest approval and thanks of the best citizens of that model American city.
The period of reconstruction is not an attractive one to describe or to contemplate. No more discreditable chapter exists in the country's history. A brave and sensitive people, after a four years' record of heroism and sacrifice so sublime and unexampled that it promptly aroused and still retains the boundless admiration of the world, had been overwhelmed by immeasurably superior material resources. When the gigantic struggle ended, there were, within
501
the vast area of the exhausted provinces, few families which had escaped bereavement on the many battlefields, or utter financial ruin, or both The abolition of slavery, by the stroke of a pen, had suddenly destroyed the entire labor system of the South, annihilated a stupendous capital, and let loose agencies of disorder and unrest which would have undone a less resolute community. A policy of generous conciliation then--such as men like Colonel Chalfin ad vocated--would have evidenced, on the victors' part, the possession at once of humanity and sound statesmanship; but the exactly op posite course was deliberately pursued. The familiar maxim, now so frequently and hysterically reiterated in behalf of the irreclaimab'y savage Filipinos, that all governments derive "their just powers from the consent of the governed," had no efficacy then, although the prostrate commonwealths included four out of the thirteen colonies which, less than a century before, had manfully wrested this great country from British misrule. The fundamental issue upon which the Revolutionary War and the Civil War were fought was really the same in each case--i. e., the right of self-government. From the Declaration of Independence in 1776 until the secession movement in 1861, the South, whether in field, in forum or else where, had always contributed at least its full share to the estab lishment, the maintenance and the development of the United States; there had been no branch of the public service which South erners had not illustrated and adorned, and in which Southern men had not freely risked their lives, to insure the general safety. Not only were all of these facts conveniently ignored at the period now under review, but the dominant party exhibited the utmost in genuity and malignity in aggravating the already deplorable condi tion of the Southern States. In that desolate and desolated region, many of the most intelligent and experienced citizens were disfran chised, through the operation of the so-called "iron-clad" oath, while the ballot was conferred, practically without qualification of any sort, upon their late slaves--an electorate remarkable chiefly for its almost.indescribable incompetency. Military governors, many of whom were corrupt, and most of whom were brutal, eagerly and energetically exercised their little brief authority in the persecution and oppression of a people whose sterling merits they were incapable of appraising or appreciating. No words can make clear to the younger generation the horrors of the reconstruction times; yet, lamentable as the record is, it may be salutary to recall it, upon oc casions like the present one.
Because Coioncl Chalfin's administration as Provost Marshal at Richmond had been so just, fair, firm, wise and efficient--and there fore in such striking contrast with the conduct of most of his col leagues in other Southern Communities--that even to-day his name is one to conjure with in the late capital of the Confederacy, it was proposed, when he died in Savannah on the evening- of the 1st Nov.. 1891, that the regulation funeral honors be accorded him by the
502
Georgia Hussars. The suggestion meeting with the approval 01General W. W. Gordon (then Colonel of the First Regiment of Cavalry, Georgia Volunteers), and of Colonel Beirne Gordon (at that time Captain of the troop), it was adopted. From the Savan nah Morning News of the 3rd Nov., 1891, the following is quoted:
"The Georgia Hussars' escort of the remains" of Colonel Samuel F. Chalfin from the Savannah Hospital to the New York train last night was more than a graceful act of courtesy on the part of Cap tain Beirne Gordon. It proved indisputably, and more eloquently than words could do, that among the men who did the fighting dur ing the civil struggle fraternal accord prevails, and that the efforts to keep up sectional strife are confined to those who were 'invis ible in war, and are invincible in peace." Colonel Chalfin's conduct as Provost Marshal at the Confederate capital during the trying days of reconstruction showed him to be humane, liberal and con servative, and gained for him the respect, esteem and gratitude of the people of Richmond. And it was peculiarly appropriate that one who had taught the art of war to the gifted and lamented Anderson should be honored by a troop of which the latter had once been Captain. The spectacle of so distinguished a Union veteran as General W. W. Burns, U. S. A. (retired)--the inventor of the Sibley tent, and the real author of 'Hardee's Tactics'--marching as a pall bearer shoulder to shoulder with four troopers of a command which achieved deathless fame under the brilliant Stuart, conclusively demonstrated that the war is over.
"The Hussars were mounted and fully equipped for the escort. At the Hospital the pall-bearers were detailed: Ex-Captains W. W. Gordon and G. B. Pritchard, and Corporals W. I. O'Brien and Geo. P. Screven of the Hussars, and General W. W. Burns and Dr. I. F. Cowan, of New York, personal friends of Colonel Chalfin. * * * At the depot the Hussars were draxvn up in line, and paid the usual military honors as the remains passed and were deposited on the train."
During Colonel Chalfin's later years, he frequently expressed great regret that having resigned from the Army, he could not ex pect the military funeral which his professional training invested with much importance. It seems to be one of the strangest ironies of fate that this magnanimous warrior, whose broad and enlight ened manhood had been displayed when, perhaps, it was most needed and most welcome, should have received, at the hands of a once hostile troop, the coveted final soldierly tribute which would have been denied him had he died in the section for which he fought. And who can question that, in honoring a former foeman so "worthy of their steel," the Georgia Hussars substantially and permanently honored themselves?
Charles F. Prendergast.

Dear Sir: Your esteemed favor of the i8th ultimo informing me that I had been elected an honorary member of your Troop, is at hand. Please convey to the Troop my grateful appreciation of the
honor thus conferred upon me. I can assure you that it affords ms
no little gratification to know that my name is associated with that of a command whose history is known to the whole Army with
which it served amidst the stirring scenes of the late war.
The tr. embers of your organization can with pardonable pride, point to its magnificent record, during the late struggle, and its no
less distinguished bearing during more recent years. It will always be a sufficient guaranty of a man's valor in war and his fidelity in peace for him to be able to say, "I was and am a member of the
Georgia Hussars."
It is my fervent hope that your organization may be perpetuated many, many years, so that should the "call" of duty ever again sum

for the summons, prepared to rival (for you will never surpass it) the splendid record of the "Georgia Hussars" who fought for the
independence of the Southern Confederacy.
With sentiments of the highest esteem for your command, and with the most delightful recollections of_my companionship with
many of your members in days gone by, I am,
Yours very respectfully,

During my absence your letter was received, making the highly flattering announcement of my election as an Honorary Member of
the "Georgia Hussars."
Allow me to -assure the gentlemen who compose the company that it is very gratifying to receive such an evidence that I am remem

my duty to share the trials and hardships incident to the campaign,
the triumphs of success, and the pain and mortification of sometimes
being compelled to retreat before the overwhelming forces with
which it was our lot to contend. In all the changes and chances of our career, whether in the tri
umph of victory or the vicissitudes of reverse, it was my proudest satisfaction that the Soldiers and Officers it was my good fortune to command always showed themselves to be brave and chivalrous, and none more so'than the company who now has seen fit to honor me with their remembrance and esteem.
It is especially pleasing that this token should come from the sons of my native state, for my earliest teachings were to reverence and love the name of Georgia.
Again asking you to extend my thanks to the members of the Georgia Hussars for the compliment they have bestowed upon a fellow soldier, believe me. with great respect, your friend,

As to Sea Girt Matches and Match at "Wormsloe."
1894.
Extract of Report of C. B. Satterlee, FInt Lieutenant, Third Artillery. U. S. A., Acting Inspector General of Rifle Practice, Georgia Volunteers, to Adjutant General of Georgia.
RlfLE COMPETITION AT SEA GIRT. NEW JERSEY.
During the early part of the year I learned of the rifle competi tions held annually at Sea Girt, New Jersey, under the auspices of the New Jersey State Rifle Association, in which representative tea'ms from the several States of the Union, 'and other countries are permitted to participate. In the hope of stimulating target practice in this State, and giving at least a few officers and men a wider ex perience and a broader insight into the subject, I requested First Sergeant John C. Postell, Troop A, First Regiment Cavalry (Geor gia Hussars), Savannah, an expert shot and a man deeply interested in marksmanship, to take the matter in hand and, if possible, work up a team from Georgia for the competition to take place at Sea Girt, between September 3rd and 8th, 1894. He consented to assume the charge, and in due time reported sufficient progress and interest to warrant further and more definite action by this department
Instructions were thereupon issued, with the approval of the Ad jutant-General's Department, to the several Company Commanders to practice their best shots during the month of July and to report their scores duly attested to. First Sergeant John C. Postell, Troop A, First Regiment of Cavalry, who is hereby designated as Secre tary for the Team.
Sergeant Postell, of the Georgia Hussars, was subsequently desig nated as "Captain" of the Georgia Team. Several other States and the District of Columbia were represented by Teams from their Na tional Guard. The work of the Georgia Team and its achievements are fully set forth in the report of Sergeant Postell, which I beg to insert for publication. It is replete with interesting information, and will give encouragement for representation in future. It is a story of most commendable endeavor and self-sacrifice to uphold the dignity and reputation of the State and her volunteer force; it speaks volumes for the soldierly spirit and pride of these twelve representives, who, at their own expense and without expectation of reward from the State, undauntedly devoted days and weeks to preparation
511
for a contest in which, from the start, they well knew they would be
handicapped by lack of experience and practice; a contest in which
they would meet with the best shots of the country; and while they
returned with but few prizes and medals, they acquitted themselves
with great credit and reflected honor on the State. Each officer and
man of the team is richly entitled to the thanks of the State. Special
commendation and thanks are due First Sergeant Postell, through
whose interest and zealous efforts, mainly, was a Team organized.
Relative to the participation of the Georgia Team at Sea Girt, I
beg to submit the accompanying letter from the Inspector of Rifle
Practice of New Jersey, who speaks in flattering terms of the work
and soldierly bearing of these representatives.
Accompanying this report is a tabulated statement showing the
individual firing records of each member of the Georgia Team; also
a comparison of their aggregate scores with those of other Teams;
to these figures I invite attention.
In consideration of these.facts and in recognition of the self-sac
rificing and meritorious work of the members of the Georgia Team
I earnestly recommend that they be officially classified as sharp
shooters, and that special certificates and the usual badges be
awarded.
They may form a special class and be so designated without
detracting from the standard of excellence established as necessary
for qualification as such. Their records alone fully entitled them to
be so classed; their endeavor and zeal to make a reputation for and
creditably hold up the name'of the State in friendly competition with
representatives from other States surely merits this small consid
eration. It is thought that Georgia is the first Southern State to be
represented in competitions of such character and significance. A
just recognition will serve as an encouragement, not alone to them
but to others, and will do much towards building up and fostering
the system of target firing in Georgia; it will be an earnest of the
State's interest in the practical training of her soldiers.
Very Respectfully,

Inspector-General of Rifle Practice, State of Georgia, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Sir: The participation of a Team from the Georgia Volunteers at this
year's meet was a source of much gratification to the New Jersey
512
State Rifle Association, and their brilliant records, considering the
circumstances, reflect great credit to the State, while much credit
also is due to each and every member of the Team who left their
respective businesses under great personal sacrifice, financially and
otherwise, came this distance and faced the butts against the finest
shots in the world.
'
The distinction of earning a position on a Slate Team has due
consideration in most of the States, very many presenting each
member with distinguished marksman badges, and allowing scores
in Team matches to apply on record for sharpshooter medals, etc.
I trust the custom of your State will allow you to give due con
sideration to the gallant efforts of the gentlemen from Georgia,
who, I understand, were not even given a chance to qualify this year.
We earnestly hope the State will offer such assistance and en
couragement as to enable a Team to be again present next year.
Permit me also to commend the gentlemanly bearing of the Georgia
Team, and call your attention to the fine individual records made by
Sergeant Postell and Messrs. Richmond and Wilson.
There is every reason to believe, from the records made this year,
that Georgia will not be far behind, if at all, in future contests for
the Hilton Trophy and Interstate matches.
Yours very truly,

Extract from Report of First Sergt. John C. Postell to Lieut. C. B. S&tterlee, Inspector General of Rifle Practice, Georgia Volunteers, Atlanta, Ga.
"Wednesday, September 5th, was held the Regimental Team Match of six. in which I entered from Troop A, First Regiment, Cavalry, First Sergeant J. C. Postell, Sergeant A. S. Eichberg, Pri vates Thomas Hunter, C. S. Richmond, J. T. Shuptrine and F. C. Wilson, who shot very well at the known distances, coming out a good THIRD out of fourteen Teams competing. The conditions of this match were, ten shots each per man, at 200 and 500 yards the first day, and on Thursday, the 6th, two skirmish runs of twenty shots each per man at the B target, ten halts, five advancing and five retreating, one shot at each halt, until ammunition is exhausted, thirty seconds firing time allowed from last note of 'commence' to last note of 'CC.TSC firing.' The catch in this was rapid firing at the near halts, expending all your ammunition, and thereby having none to fire at the long halts. All this was entirely new to the Georgia Team, none of them ever having experienced it before. Hence, while they made a good showing at the known distances, they dropped to fifth place ;it the completion of the skirmish. On the whole. I consider that they made a very creditable showing under the circumstances, and feel confident that, with present lights, they could safely be expected to show marked improvement at this kind of work should the opportunity again offer. Full scores of both stages of this match are hereto attached:

"The balance of the week was devoted to individual matches, in which five of the Team participated, and I am glad to state, made creditable showing in everything they entered. Private F. C. Wil son, of Troop A, First Regiment, Cavalry, won first prize (a hand some gold medal) in Trenton Interstate, and third prize in Allcom ers' Military Matches; Private C. S. Richmond won first in Re volver and fifth Scheutzen Matches; First Sergeant J. C. Postell won the third in Hayes and fourth in Wimbledon Cup Matches; Sergeant Henry Blun, Jr., of Company D, First Battalion, Infantry, won second prize in Trenton Interstate Match, and Sergeant A. S. Eichberg, of Troop A, First Regiment, Cavalry, using the Cavalry 45-calibre Colt's, came out eighth in Revolver Match.
"The week was fittingly closed by the Wimbledon Cup Match, 1,000 yards, which was begun early Saturday, September 8th. Two men from Troop A, First Regiment, Cavalry, entered this match, First Sergeant J. C. Postell and Private F. C. Wilson, who did fairly well considering that they had never before faced a i,ooo-yard butt
"Taking all in all, I feel that the State of Georgia is to be con gratulated, in having a representation at the Sea Girt Matches for 1894, and believe firmly that every member of the Team present was greatly benefitted by the increased knowledge obtaind in the use of the rifle, and last but not least, the Georgia Volunteers were brought into marked prominence throughout the country. Napoleon, I
believe, once said: 'Shooting to hit is the objective point of military art,' and no truer feords were ever spoken.
"Finally, I beg to state that too much credit cannot be accorded
by the State to every member of the Team, who at great personal
sacrifice left their respective pursuits, and at their own expense went
to Sea Girt for simply patriotism to their State and honor to its sol
diery, and I trust the State will appreciate the fact sufficiently to
now give its unqualified support towards sending a crack Team to
represent her next year, when she may reasonably hope to reverse
the order of this one."

Atlanta, Ga.: General:
It gives me great pleasure to forward to you to-day the trophy won by your Team this year at Sea Girt, in the Interstate Military Match, shot under the auspices of the National Rifle Association of America. The trophy, "Soldier of Marathon," has been contested for annually during the past twenty years, and has been won and held mainly by States which have given-a large amount of time and labor to the education of a State Team. For the first time in the history of rifle practice the trophy goes to the SOUTH, and your Team of gallant Georgians, who made the effort in 1894, led all competitors in the match this year by a score which has been sel dom equalled in these competitions. The best riflemen of the States of Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, and the District of Columbia, were their opponents, and it is particularly gratifying .for me to be able to say to you that the Team from the State of Georgia excelled the Teams from all these States in this competition. New Jersey welcomes her Southern friends to the competitions held on the Sea Girt range, and congratulates them upon their victory.
Very Respectfully, WILLIAM S. STRYKER, Adjutant-General.
State of Georgia, Adjutant General's Office,
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 12, 1895. General Orders No. 15:
The following result of the work of the Rifle Team from this State in the competition held at Sea Girt, New Jersey, in September, is hereby announced to the Georgia Volunteers.
In this contest, brought into competition with the best riflemen of the country, the Team won the Interstate Match--was second, and within a few points of winning the Regimental Match, was fifth in the Hilton Trophy Match, and in the individual contests its mem bers won five of the seven matches in which they competed.
These results show a degree of skill and efficiency obtained only by close, intelligent work, and at a sacrifice of much time and per sonal comfort; that it was a voluntary act on the part of the mem bers of the Team, and without aid from the State, is all the more to their credit The Governor desires to express to Captain Wm. W. Williamson, First Battalion Infantry, Georgia Volunteers, Cap tain of the Team, and to its individual members, his gratification at their success, and believes it will prove a stimulus to increased in terest in rifle firing throughout the State.

Extract from Adjutant General'1 Report of 1896.
The riflemen of Georgia entered eighteen matches. Of this num ber they won thirteen; tied in two, which were lost by smaller score at longest distance; and lost three.
The matches won by them were on good margins; those lost, on very small ones.
534
These matches are held annually, at Sea Girt, under the direction of the New Jersey Rifle Association, whose president is, by law, the Governor of the State. The most expert rifle shots in the country meet here in friendly rivalry, and to win in such contests requires, as a preparation, hard, systematic, intelligent work, and a high degree of skill. There are no State funds available for defray ing the expenses of the team; so, in addition to the time lost and hard work done, the entire cost falls on its individual members.
The Governor congratulates Captain Williamson, Team Captain, and the members of the team on the remarkable scores .made and the honors they have won for the State and themselves. They will be classified as sharpshooters, and special certificates and sharp shooters' badges will be issued to them by the Inspector-General of Rifle Practice.
The creditable work of the team from the Governor's Horse Guards, that, with little time for preparation, went to Sea Girt, as a first experience this year, is deserving of mention, and the knowledge thus gained of team shooting will be of great benefit to its members in future contests.

ing the fact that there was a dull sky, with changing light and a stiff cross-wind, the score made by Georgia was remarkable.

Hilton Trophy Match.
Seven Shots at Each Range.
This match was shot on Friday, the 3rd of September, in a very heavy wind, which prevented any good scores at 200 yards. This match is considered the most important of the meet, and after try-
538
ing for four years, Georgia was rewarded for her perseverance by winning it. It will be recalled that last year Georgia tied Washing ton in this match, and lost only through a smaller score at the long est range. This year the fight was with New York, and it was any body's match after Soo-yard stage was completed, Georgia only leading by three points.

vidual matches in which our men participated, they won the five
Team Matches, eleven of the twelve Individual Matches, and came

In this match Lieutenant Richmond, although with a heavy handicap
against him, came in second.4*
