Ther< arc few regiments from Georgia that
have seen harder service (ban the 14th. The
campaign of hat Bummer in Northwestern Vir
ginia was one of long hard marching, Buffer
ing, disease and death. The laiter part of (he
fall and winter was spent in tents about Ma
nassas Junction, nt work on fortifications and
ditches. At the opening of the spring cam
paign, it was marched from thence to Vork-
towt, and thence to Richmond, where it was
kept constantly on picket duty in the swamps
of Chickahominy until the battle of Seven
Pines. Since that time it has been in six gen
eral engagements, in each of which it has ac
quitted itself with honor to the State from
which it bails—in some of the battles loosing
as high as twenty- five per cent of the number
carried into action.
But the proudest day for the Huh—as it
was for many others—was the 9th of this
month, at the battle of Cedar Run, between
Orange and Culpepper Court Houses. The
regiment is in Gen. A. P. Hill’s division, and
composes a part of the third brigade, consist
ing of the I4tb, foth, 4otb and 49th Georgia
Regiments, commanded by Acting Brigadier
E. L. Thomas, Colonel of the 35th.
The day was one of the hottest evei felt, and
the troops wero marched from daybreak until
3 P. M., when the third brigade filed off from
the road to some woods ou a high hill com
mantling a view of the valley beyond for sev
eral miirs. This position had been selected

Meunv,hi!e Old Stonewall sat quietly study
ing a map spies 1 out before him. At length
a signal near him gave a single wave
down, cu instant after the l.-onm of a cannon
tiwuy down the valley reverberated through
the mountains and along the valley. The ball
struck in the midst of the Yankee cavalry,
and those hitherto ctatute like looking beings
suddenly became wonderfully animated. They
put into exercise their powers of locomotion,
and went scampering away at the top of their
speed. Can urn was answered by cannon and
battery by battery. Clouds of smoke and dust
went rolling up and spreading out over the
valley. It was now about 4 o’clock P. M.—
Colonel ’1 nomas (85ih Ga.) was ordered to the
field near the centre of the line, and in sup
porting distance of futcell's Battery. Col
Yrioe, of the 14th, was wounded in the hand,
and retired before the regiment was brought
actively into the engagement. The command
then devolved upon Lieut. Col. Folsom.
Emerging from the woods near the road by
which the btigade had approached the held, it
was met by Gen. Taliaferro’s brigade, Jack
son’s division, falling back before the advanc
ing enemy. The 14th was cut off from (Le
brigade by Talliaferro’s retreating men. Some
of the men of the 14th faltered for a moment.
The danger oi a panic was imminent The
enemy, encouraged by the retreat of General
Taliaferro’s brigade, and confident of virtory,
were advancing, and about reaching a point at
which their line would have prolonged our
battle line, and within a Btone’s throw of, and
on tbe Sunk Purcell’s Battery. This was a
critical and trying time. But it lasted only a
moment Colonel Folsom caught the colors of
the 14th, and bearing them forward, culled up
on his cfficers and men to follow Nobly and
gallantly did they respond to the call. With
out flinching the 14 ! -b advanced to m et the
confident foe, and by their well directed vol-
leys eoon brought them to a stand. The ground
was now hardly contested ; but the deadly aim
of the Georgia boys was too destructive fur
Yaukee ideas of personal safety, and their
lines began to waver, and then gave way.—
They wore closely followed up for nearly a
mile to where tho route of the T 4th crossed &
road. Beyond this road was a small etieam,
and beyond that a wheat fiald iu which was
drawn np a strong infantry force of the ene
my. The road afforded our men an excellent
position, from which they poured a moet des
tructive fire into the lines of the enemy, (see
ing the advantage and dreading the effects of
our deadly fire, one Bquadron of Cavalry was
sent out to drive us fvom the road The Hth
seeing the cavalry advancing, without chang
ing position, coolly awaited their approach.-—
When within seventy-five or eighty yards Col.
Folson gave the order to fire, and down went
horses and men by the score Again the val
iant Yanks sought safety in hasty retreat, and
fled precipitately to the woods behind the
wheat field, closely followed by Georgia’s dar
ing sons.
The Regiment had advanced but a short dis
tance when Col. Folson fell from utter exhaus
tion. It was now nearly dark, the troops were
completely exhausted from the long march,
hard fighting and excessive heat. Gen. Jack-
son thought, under the circumstances, it would
be better to close the action for that night, and
accordingly the pursuit of the flying enemy
was given up, having been driven from the
field and left hundreds of their dead an<l
wounded behind. It was said by one of the
GeueraU who examined the field, that the Hth
killed and wounded more mer. than it carried
into the field.
But it is not pretended that the 14th was the
only Regiment in Col. Thomas’ Brigade that
ncttd gtukiSlly. All did well. The 49th tired
i .til it. y had shot away their last cartridge.
They then took wnat they could find on the
i unkcvS they Led killed, and afterwards
etai* eu the enemy with empty guns. The
«. r ;a of tLo 36th and 45;h is epoksn of in

IUK BATTLE OF CEDAR RUN—THE ISTH GEORGIA
REGIMEM in the FIGHT-LIST of casualties
Camp 19th Ga Reg’t, near Gobdonsvili-E, 1
August 15th, 1852 /
Editors Southern Confederacy :
Enclosed we send you a list ot the Killed,
wounded and missing of the I9th Regiment
Georgia Volunteers, in the battle of Cedar Run,
9th of August. ,
It would he impossible for any participant
to give you an adequate idea of the whole fight,
as every one tvho has ever been in a battle
knows a regiment—or even a brigade—occu
pies but a small space on a irrge field of bat
tie But of that portion of the engagement as
transpired in the immediate vicinity of our
Regiment, we can give some particulars.
On the evening ot tbe 8th we reached Or
ange Court House, having left Gordonsville
two days previously, Mere we bivounced for
the night, and started about 8 o'clock on the
9th, for Culpepper. The day was very sultry
and the sun poured down with greater fury,
than any of we Georgians ever felt it in the
old “empire.” The march being a forced one,
many fell fainting by the way side, and large
numbers fell out to hunt a shady spot to cool
their parching braiD. We all had a faint idea of
some extraordinary move going on, but none
expected we would be engaged that evening,
after the fatigues of such a march ; hence,
many who could have exerted themselves des
perately and came up in time, did not do so,
We arrived in the vicinity of the battle field
about half past four o’clock, and was ordered
to load and prepare for immediate action. Our
brigade was carried into a wood on the left of
the Culpepper road, formed in line of battle,
and ordered to advance. We bad advanced
steadily for three or four hundred yurds thro’
the copse, when we came to a wheat field im
mediately in our front, out of which two brig
ades ot the enemy had just outnumbered and
driven two noble Virginia regiments. This
field had the wheat still upon it, stacked in
large shocks; behind these the Yankees hid
and awaited our coming. When we reached
the fence, they poured a volley into us with
no effect, and many tried to make their escape
to the opposite side of the field in another
cluster of woods; but the weli directed fire of
the boys of the “ Bloody 19th,” the Tennessee
regiments and the Alabama battalion, brought
down every one who attempted to make his
escape.
We then wei * ordered to charge the woods
on the opposite side of the field, which was
swavmiDg with Yankees With a yell our boys
crossed tne fence and advanced like veterans
through the field—about the middle of which
they gave us a cross fire, knocking down our
colors twice. But they were immediately
raised by our brave boys, and borne aloft and
forward Her6 we lost one third of the num
ber we carried into the fight, but kept on, un
daunted by the terrible shower of halls, until
we reached the opposite side of the field and
put the enemy to bight. We pursued them
about two mile* <w*h«c- r .not over
take them again
We then moved out of the held into a wood
on our left, where the enemy had been camp
ing before »he engagement The.- had moved
everything except two ordnance wagons —
These we lost the nest day by the cowardice
of two teaiu.iers sent for tlnisai in this w? cd
the enemy shelled us for several hours with
little effect. Oar batteries soun put a stop to
theirs, and we were permitted to lay down and
rest our exhausted frames upon the damp
ground, without blankets nr covering save the
deep blue vault of heaven.
Considering that tbe enemy had three to
one against us, it was one of the most signal
victories at the war. Language cannot ex
press the brave daring of our men, and only
those who saw can appreciate the daring
charges into the very jaws of death, ns it
were, of the brave men of Archer s Brigade of
the Light Division, commanded by A. P. Hill.

FUDI AND INTERESTING PARTICULARS OF THE
BATTLE OF BATON ROUGE
Tangipahoa, La., August 10, 13G2.
Desiring to gather some authentic informa
tion for you regarding the Late bat lo at Baton
Rouge, 1 took the cars at Grenada yesterday,
and arrived here thi3 evening. Tangipahoa
is about £0 miles above New Orh-srs, on the
N. O. & G. R. R , 105 miles below Jackson,
and 50 miles from Comite river, the present
headquarters of our army.
I was fortunate enough to meet a mcruhei-
of Gen. Rnggles’ staff, an old frien.1, and also
a member of the £2d Mississippi regiment,
both of whom were in the fight, and consti
tute the source of what I shall write you.
The troops engaged in the Battlo of Baton
Rouge were three brigades—Gen. Rnggles’,
under his own command, and the 2d and 4ih
brigades of Breckinridge’s old division, which
was recently at Vicksburg One of these w«s
commanded by Gen. Charles Clarke, of ibis
State, and the other, I believe, by some Colo
ncl, acting Brigadier. Among the rc-gimcrits
engaged, composing these forees, I remember
the following: the 15th, 22d and 31st .Missis
sippi, (the first of which was held in reserve,
and did not engage in the fight); the 15th,
20th 28;h aud 45th Tennessee, numbering, all
told, not over 700 men; the 3J, 4tb, 5th, Gth
and 7th Kentucky; the 35th and another Ala
bama regiment, the 4th Alabama Battalion,
and the 4th and 27th Louisiana. The whole
attacking force, which was under the command
of Gen. Breckinridge, numbered about 3,500
men.
They set cut on their march from Camp
Moore on the 30th of July, designing to make
very slow time, so as not to weary and wear
out the endurance of the troops. After five
days progress they arrived at (Jomite river, 10
miles in the rear of Bates Rouge, where they
paused for 24 hours It had ‘been raining a
great deal during the march, and not less than
500 men had been disabled for service on the
way, thus reducing the available lighting force
to about 8,000, as mentioned in Gen. Breckin
ridge’s official dispatch on the subject.
At 10 o’clock on the night of th© 4th inst ,
the whole army took up thc-ir march, and
moved slowly towards the enemy, who were
located in three encampments, one o£ which
was in yhe eastern portion, of the city, just in
the corporate Tirnito M ,
on the oth inst.. a heavy fire W&3 opened by
the enemy just as we had formed our tins of
battle ready to move on them Their firo at
first was mostly on Rnggles’ brigade, which
constituted our left and centre Breckinridge
and Clarke executed a flank movement to the
right in force, while Rnggles occupied the en
emy’s attention, by desperate fighting against
great odds, in front' The whole force of the
enemy engaged at this time was about live
thousand, some say six Wa had no 3iege
guns, but only six and twelve pounders, which
were illy fitted to contend with the enemy's
twenty-four rifled. But cur boys still pushed
on with undaunted valor agorM the surging
tide of shells, minni' halls and ahrapnell shot
that wi: e poured into thc-ir ranks. After five
hours .. unceasing combat, they had driven
the enemy steadily back from his camps into
th? sire i ■ of Baton Rcnge, had taken three
c:... l j,inpm(. is, ami or pied the battle field.—
Still the pursuit w;.,. omirued with the bayo
net, but I am told that the foe fled precipitate
ly on perceiving this disposition of tho Con
federates to change the contest into one of
cold steel—a statement ono can essily beli?vc
when ho knows that the while army of the
foe was composed of Simon pure Yankees from
Vermont, Maine and Massachusetts, there be
ing but one Western regiment fan Indiana one)
among them. A few minutes now fennd the
fugitives Bkulking under tin prof ction uf
their gunboats near the arsenal, where they
could cot be pursued owing to the inequality
of our numbers.
Our troops occupied tho c-aj.turrd encamp
ments for an hour or two, secured everything
valuable that could be earily transported, burn
ed the rest and then fell back slowly and in
order to Amite river, where they were at last
accounts. YVc took about forty prisoners,
20 of whom went up to Jackson on the rail
road from herethis r, <ruing: rJso a large num
ber of coats, blankets, raisons loaded with am
munition, and forty artillery horses. Our
wounded were ail brought away, but the dead
were left on the field—not a xery good sign, it
i3 true, but one easily explained ; for after the
hasty flight of the foe, the gunboats opened a
terrific cannonade with every available spe ies
of missile upon our troops and rendered the
battle ground very unsafe for us victorious oc
cupants
Gen. Clarke was wounded severely in the
right leg near the thigh, it is supposed, by a
fragment of a shell. In falling back arrange
ments were made to bring him in an ambu
lance, but he positively declined to comn, say
ing that he had but a few rcr mrnts to live, and
preferred not to undergo the <’.ain incident to
removal. Nothing has been heard from him
since the tattle up to my present time of writ
ing, though it i3 supposed that he has ere thi3
expired, as the surgeon who examined his
wound pronounced it mortal Two of the old
hero’s aids Etaii with him to comfort him in
his dying hours.
When Gen. Clarke fell from his horse, nis
gallant tic-ops, (I think composed of Missis-
sippiansar.d Tennesseeans) observed the luck
less incident, and, like th? forces of the la
mented Zollicoffer, at Mill Springs, faltered
with symptoms of a terrible panic. Breckin
ridge, observing this critical state of affairs,
rode quickly forward, regardless of his per
sonal danger, and elquently cried out, “on, my
noble lads, and follow me to victory 1” In
stantly, it is said, a new impulse seemed to ac
tuate the whole body of men, and rallying,
they went forward like a living thunderbolt]
avenging with terrible slaughter the fate of !
their gallant commander
I am sorry to record one disgraceful episode
in this battle, which reflects "upon the brave
and distinguished State of Louisiana, but
which a just regard for tho truth of history
require* should be mentioned. I refer to the
conduct of the 4th Louisiana regiment, wl »ieb
had been ordered up to support a baliery tha
had been captured from the enemy--or rather
to assist in supporting it. After their Colone
(Allen) had been wounded, they broke ranks
and no anneals could induce them to reform,
scattering as they did, in every direction, an
losing to us an excellent battery, which •'night
otherwise have swelled the fruits of our \ic-
Our less is probably about 300, including
one brigadier-general and three wounded L-ol-
onels— Hunt, Eoyd and Allen. The latter tins
been compelled to have both legs amputated,
and will probably not survive.
Tho loss of the enemy was at first not known,
though only estimated at about the same as
ours’ A flag of truce was received at Lreck-^
inridge’s camp, howevesjt yesterday, tho bear
ers of which acknowledge that they had lost
fully one thousand men, including Gen. Mil-
Hams, commanding, and a KeRb
known to the people of Louisiana as a brutal
marauder ever since the \ ankees occupied New
Orleans.
We may iLus he said to have achieved a vic
tory, bo far R3 the fighting at Baton Rouge v/as
concerned, but the affair was certainly no vic
tory, if we take into consideration the failure
of the object sought to be achieved—viz : the
capture and occupation of Baton Rouge. The
end. however, lei me say, is not yet.
PHILO.
From the Richmond Enquirer, August 16.
lietaiialtan«»A Chapter from the Past.
Several times during tho Revolutionary War,
tho barbarities of the British could only be re
strained by the threat of retaliation This
remedy was never actually put _in force by
Washington, because the warning proved suf
ficient. Only in one instance, and in one
quarter, was ii actually proclaimed in our ar
my, that the conduct of the enemy demanded
that thenceforth, the war should be waged
without restraint, and without giving quarter
Tbe speedy close of the war ✓thereafter, pre
vented the practical application of the policy
which was undoubtedly resolved upon.
Tho caec w? have referred to, was in con
nection with Gen. Greene’s army, Hen en
gaged in the liberation of South Carobna from
tho enemy. Driven back from the interior, and
pressed clown upon the sea shore, the British
commanders seem to have surrendered them
selves to such paroxysms of chagrin and re
venge as our baffled adversaries are now exhib
iting Goaded by their mortification, they
vented their malice upon Col. Isaac Hayne, a
captive taken from the American army, and
one of the most estimable and popular citizens
of Smith Carolina.
The ground on which the British refused to
consider Col. Hayne a prisoner of war was,
that he had, some lime before, taken an oath
of allegiance to the British crown. This was
indeed true, and is justly lamented by the his
torian [Lieut.-Col. Henry Lee] as a grave fault.
Eut the circumstances under which the oath
was extorted and especially the subsequent
withdrawal and expulsion of British authority
from the region wnich included Col Hayne’s
home, were considered as fully releasing him
frsm British allegiance, and justifying him in
taking arms with fils countrymen
Hayne had been among the prisoners taken
long before, at the capitulation of Charleston
By ihe terms of that capitulation he was pa
roled, and returned to his home under guar
antee of protection. Subsequently, and in
flagrant violation of engagements, ailthep.ris-
oners thus paroled were requiered to report
themselves in Charleston, and go into close
confinement, or take the oath of allegiance to
Great Britain nycxarheliued with Uisf/ess at
tiie condition of his family, then smitten with
small pox, and anxious to be free to minister
to them. Hayne yielded, after earnest remon
strances, and took the oath of allegiance; tho
doing of which, even under the circumstances,
the historian Justly pronounces an eia-r.
Hayne cat fully observed the obligation iUr l8
forced upau lutu by conquest, so long ns the
British asserted authority in his quarter.—
But tho time came when Green drove off tbe
British, and redeemed Hayne’a home from
British rule. Hayne, and those in similar cir
cumstances with himself, justly reasoned that
the allegiance duo to a conqueror ceased with
bis expulsion from the subdued territory. Un
der this impression ho and many others re
paired to Greene’s camp and tendered their
services, which were gladly accepted, 8oon
after, while on detachedduty, he was captured
and thas fell into the hands of the British
again.
The British commanders determined on his
speedy execution. This was attended by cir
cumstances well corresponding with the bar
barity of the edict, while Hayne’s bearing has
made his name immortal.
When the news of these proceedings reached
the camp of Greene, it excited universal in
dignation. Greene demanded explanations,
which, when rereived, wero found to be an at
tempt at justification of the act. Greene in
stantly determined to retaliate by discarding
on his part, also, the restraints of civilized
hostilities. In this he wa3 unanimously sus
tained by his officers- Iu the conclusion of a
manly address they said to him : “Permit us
to add, that while we lament the necessity of
eo severe an expedient, and commiserate the
sufferings to which individuals will be neces
sarily exposed, we are not unmindful that such
a measure may, in its consequences, involve
cur own lives in additional danger. But we
had rather forego temporary distinctions, and
commit cur lives to the most desperate situa
tion, than prosecute this ju3t and necessary
war on terms so unequal and dishonorable.”
Greene accordingly issued a proclamation to
his army, “declaring his determination to
make reprisals for all such inhuman insults,
and to select for the objects of retaliation offi
cers of the regular forces-” The feeling pro
duced in Greene’s army by this resolve is thus
related by the historian :
“Tho deliberate resolve of Greene, guaran
tied by the solemn and spontaneous pledge of
his officers, changed the character of the war,
and presented death to the soldier in the most
ignominious form. * ■ * * Nevertheless,
the army exhibited on it3 march the highest
spirit, with zealous anxiety to reach the foe,
and conscious ot the justice of the measure
adopted by their general, with one feeling
cheerfully submitted to its consequences.”
As before stated, the war closed so soon af
terwards that Greene’s order was not practi
cally executed.
The Confederate States find themselves, at
the present time, driven to contemplate a war
of extermination, such as our fathers were
ready to engage in, when the defenoe of their
liberties required it. Our officers and soldiers
will be as ready now, as our fathers were then,
to assume all the responsibilities of such a
condition of affairs; for they are a3 brave as
their fathers were, and they have even a better
cause. It is to he hoped that the necessity
will be turned aside- now as it wa3 then; but
if not, let us nerve ourselves to the new order
o: things. Meanwhile let all our citizens take
warning from tue err t of Hayne, a .d refuse
the oath of allegiance to the enemy under anv
and all circumstances.
One Dollar will secure the Daily Con
federacy for forty days; seventy-five cents
per month.
