We came from Penn iHvlvania through the Hhenando: h val ley. We arrived at this neighborhood [about th" ist of September, '<•:!.

The n xt da?; We were moved a hiioh distance and quartered in some woods, i do not remember these dates. Here <ve remained for a long time. We put up some larg bush arbors and fixed logs and poles for seats. I’nder these wo had preaching and there was quite a leviva! in the camp. There was any where from ten 10 as high as sixty baptized, at at time, i saw fieri.

I passed rhiough this city on the 18. hof Apr !, last I was caught l in a snowstorm at Florence. S. C.. and had to lay over there for two days. All tip in Virginia the snow whs from eight to twelve inches deep In the railroad cute In place* it was four feet deep. They hud to run snow plows to clear the truck. While I was away f»en, Gordon eon- ■ eluded to organize a battalion of sharp hooters and s"in to the colonel* of e eh r gi ment for four of the best men from each eotnpaui . My colonel put me down for one of them. Now you will say I want to brag on j self a little; well, why not; It’s a poor i dog Hint will not wag his own tail. | Bm before you pass Judgment see me through and see where 1 have been, for 1 was the only man of the ZStli Georgia regiment (or f should say boy) that was on every batile field in which the army of Virginia was engaged. Well, we organized our battalion of sharpshooters and perfected ourselves in the skirmish drill. Now. I am pre pared to say there was none better and will only put up two witnesses, G n. Gordon and Gen. Kvana. We did more fighting and whipped more Yan kees than any brigade in the Second corps, and our strength was only 240 men. Well, spring came on mid we wero ordered to the front, as I have already described in the first part of thla story. But. my readers, here comes in a sad story. On this 6th of May and at Ho ms Grove sleeps some of our best men. "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep. From which none ever wake to weep, A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the Inst of foes. When shall we meet again? Meet never to sever? When will peace wreathe her chains Round ii» forever? Our lt».*i-u will never repos.
