MACON, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 15,1802.
Army Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.
The Ccorgiau* iti Maryland.
Winchester, Ya., Supt. 30.
You cannot regret more than I do that
anything should have occurred to prevent
me from furnishing you with a list of he
casualties in the Georgia regiments in tue
late battles in Maryland, ard sum account
of the part they took iu the bloody conflicts
at Koousboro’ (lap and Sharpsburg. It has
so happened, however, that I have had to
take my share of the sickness with the r< -g ;
and had it come a lew days sooner, youre r
respondent would have been numberc.<!
among the prisoners who fell into the hand;
of the enemy. My arrangements had a; 1
been made to procure correct and tu. ly ii.,::-
of our killed and wouuded, aud the rest
which the army has enjoyed since its return
to \ irginia would have facilitated the work
i very much, bad I been able to mount my
! horse.
; But whilst lam not able to enter into
particulars, I regret to have it in my power
to say that many of the Georgia regun ts
suffered very heavily iu the late battles, and
that all of them, so far as tny information
extends, with one single exception, were
conspieious for their gallant behavior. It
was stated in v. former letter, that Col.
dories, of the ‘22d Georgia, did n . ion: jan
himself properly at the battle i ,n, ».■: ns.
A similar complaint was in 3 an: n inn
by bis brigade commander ai :<>j -
At Sharpsburg, howe\ -, he e. n o -vhy .
deemed himself, and both in . i.u ■ s . ••gi
ment displayed the utmost sie o -ss unu
! resolution. After the fail of \v right,
Col. J onus took charge of the brigade, and
commanded it until l,e too was wounded ;
when Col. Gibson, of the 41th :ook the com
mand.
1 have found no person who could give
me a correct list ot the Georgia regiment
now in \ irginia. Those who are in pt>js»©»-
sion of the information will not communi
cate it to others, and I have been left to
find iu out as best I could. The regiments
are not distributed under Brig. Generals
from our own State, but are scattered
throughout the army; so that there is not a
division, and but few brigades, iu which
there is not one or more regiments trom
Georgia. You may form some idea, there
fore, of the dilltculty one encounters in timl
ing out, by bis uwu unaided efforts, the
corps, divisions and brigades in which they
have been placed, especially under the rigid
rules adopted by those in authority. It is
not unusual to find of our regiments, us
in the case of the 18th, Col. Wofford, stuck
off iu a brigade made up otherwise wholly
from some other State. There is another
regiment, the 19th, iu a brigade ciumtuuded
by one Gen. Archer, but to what corps or
division he belongs, or from what State he
hails, I have beeu unable to ascertain. This
distribution of the regiments from Georgia
is rendered necessary by the large number
of troops we have in the held, and t .- all
number of brigade commanders wn ) have
beeu appointed from the State.
Add to all these defiieulties the
fact, that the army seldom occupies in <•
encampments a space less than ten mdes I
square, and that in passing from one portion
of it to another, you have to exhibit your
pass and render an account of yourself, ana
you may form some conception of the trou
ble one meets with in his perigrinations
about the camps.
The following regiments are all believed j
to be now in Virginia, viz : The Second, 1
Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth,!
Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, TwelftL, Thir- j
teenth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, Sixteenth,
Seventeenth, Eighteenth, Nineteenth, Twen
tieth, Twenty-first, Twenty-second, Tw uy

fourth, Forty-fifth, Forty-eighth, Forty
ninth, Fittieth, Fifty-first Fifty-third, Sivti- j
eth, and Sixty-first; the Sec. ad Georgia!
Battalion, the Tom Cobb Ligiou, and i hil-;
lips’ Legion ; the Georgia Hussars (Savan- i
uah,) aud Governor’s Horse Guard * Alii-!
ledgeville,) Cutts’ Battalion of a v * : Vry, i
aud several other detached bodies ot man-,
try, cavalry and artillery. The I m m
the other regiments I care . c i;
some of them may be, and d.ul *’t: ;
Virginia. The Fifth, Forty iff at r . j ity
second are in Tennessee, with S >\.... and
Smith’s battalions, and Lawton’s rc-jiiino-nt
of cavalry, and the Forty-sixth regiment, is ,
near Charleston.
As already intimated, tli•' regiments in
Virginia are disturbed throughout me army
and in a number of divisions and brigades.
The classification of some of the brigades I
am able to give, to wit :
Toombs’ brigade—Second, Fifteenth, Sev
enteenth, aud Twentieth regiments.
Wright’s brigade—The Third, Twenty
second and Forty-eighth Ga., and Forty
fourth Alabama..
Lawton’s brigade—The Thirteenth, Twen-.
ty-sixth, Thirty-first, Thirty-eighth, Sixtieth
aud Sixty-first.
Colquitt’s brigade—The Sixth, Twenty
third, Twenty-seventh aud Twenty-eighth
Ga., and Thirteenth Alabama.
Colonel Anderson’s brigade—The Sev
enth, Eighth, Ninth, Eleventh aud First
Georgia Kegulars.
Colonel Thomas’ brigade—The Four
teenth, Thirty-fifth, Forty-fifth aud Forty
ninth.
Geueral Semmes’ brigade—Tenth aud
Fifty-third Georgia, and Ffteenth and !hir
ty-second Tennesse.
Colonel Wofford’s brigade—The Eigu
teenth Gecruia, and First, Second ana
Fourth Tt&as w * This was the old brigade of 1
General Hood, who now commands a divis
i a. The Eighteenth Georgia is known as
the “Third Texas.”
Drayton s brigade—Phillips’ Legion, Fif
tieth and Fifty-first Georgia, James’ (S. C.
Battalion, and Col. Deisussure’s (S. C.
regiment.
I am not informed of the exact composi
tion of General Cobh’s brigade. The Fourth
Georgia is attached to Ripley’s brigade.—
(.lifts battalion ol artillery, formerly con
stituting a part of General Pendleton’s ar
tillery reserves, was transferred to D. H
Hill’s division. I now hear that it has been
I put into the reserves again, much to the re
| Colonel Cutts and his command, who
| prefer more active service.
The casualties in the Fourth Georgia,
Colonel Doles, (now commanding lliploy’s
brigade,) will enable you to form some idea
of the character of the battle and the losses
sustained by other rcgirncuts. Dr. Philpot,
the Surgeon of the regiment, was good en
: ough to call to see me to-day, and he in
| forms me that the regiment went into ac
j tiou at Sharpsburg with only 278 men.—
|Of ibis number, 88 were killed and 134
i wounded. A loss of 172 out of 278.'
Among the wounded, the Doctor performed
as many as fourteen amputations. I saw a
pile of legs and arms at his hospital the day
a; er the fight, and can certify to his indus
try and activity. He informs me also of
th r death of Lieutenant Colonel Betts, of
to - Twenty-eighth Georgia, who was killed
at Sharpsburg.
The body of Col. L. B. Smith, of the
Twenty-seventh, was not recoverd, nor vra,i
Colonel HDimes’ of the Second. Those of
Colonel Douglass, Colonel Newton and Colo
nel Milligan were brought oft’. Colonel
Holmes was often heard to say he would be
siam in battle, and if so, that he did not
care what became of his body. He is the
last male member of bis house—his mother
ami aunt alone remaining. He requested
that his charger, a beautiful blood bay,
should be sent home to his aunt —a request
that has been complied with. None of the
field officers were mounted during the bat
tle ; and yet the enemy’s sharp-shooters
seem to have louud but little difficulty in
singling them out. Major Tracy, of the
Sixth, was brought across the river to Shep
herdstowu, where he died. He had just ar
rived the evening before the battle, aud
was in the best posiblc spirits at the pros
pect of meeting the enemy again. He told
me that he had not quite recovered his
strength, which had suffered a good deal
from the wound received at Richmond ; but
he was well enough, he said to strike anoth
er blow for liberty. It is reported that the
enemy got possession of his body at Shep
herdstown and buried it, but I cannot vouch
ior the truth of tho rumor. llis was a brave
and gallant spirit.
Alas! many a chivalries son of the South
uow reposes from his labors iu an undistin
guished grave along the banks of the An
uit tarn. there is neither marble nor head
board to point the inquiring friend to their
last resting place. They sleep beneath the
shadow of the majestic Blue Ridge, and vp
ol a field made forever glorious by their
blood and gallant deeds. Let the bleeding
hearts at home remember this, and that the
soldier never falls too soon who dies iu de
fense of his country. His precious dust
will bo gathered up in the last day; the
gorges ot the overhanging mountain and the
valley of the Antietam will give up their
dead ; and friend and foe, rising from the
same grave, will be gathered each to liim
scil—the brave who perish for their country
to everlasting happiness; the wrong-doer
ami oppressor to eternal condemnation.
If 1 were to say that the Georgians, offi
cers and men, did their whole duty at Man
assas, Bouesboro’ (Jap, Crampton Gap, and
Sharpsburg, I should give but public ex
nression to the truth. It is said that the
“fiftieth regiment, Col. Manning, did not
maintain their ground as steadily at Sharps
fiurg as they might have done ; but with
this exception our troops conducted them
selves with a gallantry and heroism which
have not been excelled during the war
uuwton and Wright, dashed into the thick
■st of the fight, aud bore themselves as the
> ru* warrior loves to do in presence of a ha
ul foe, until they were stricken down.—
iuumbs, cool in the hour of danger, but
impetuous in the charge, seemed to court
death by the exposure of his person and the
intrepid manner in which he rushed at the
head of his column, apparently, into the
very jaws of death. McLaws, Cobb, Semmes,
Colquitt, Anderson, Thomas, Wofford,
Doles, Douglass, Newton, Smith, Holmes,
Mulligan, Tracy, Betts. Wilson, Nisbet, La
mar, Plane, Mclntosh, Crowder, and a host
of others, among the dead as well as living,
added freJi laurels to the wreath with which
the brow of Georgia has been encircled by
the valor, courage and daring of her sons.
The glorious Twelfth, which has endured
more hardships, suffered greater losses and
engaged in more battles, than any regiment
iu the service—of course, such a regiment
could not pass through so fierce a conflict as
Sharpsburg, without being called upon to
mourn the fall of some of its small but gal
lant band. I had heard that it escaped with
small loss, but to-day a report has reached
me that Capt. Rodgers, commanding the j
regiment, was killed. If so, this leaves but [
two of the old heroic captains behind—Capt. I
Mark Blauford, who lost an arm at McDow
ell, and Capt. Scott, who received a painful j
wi und iu the knee at Richruuud. Capt.
Br wu, the fourth survivor, was killed at j
Manassas
llow true it is, that the paths of glory J
lead but ta tbe grave. *

Cio©*c* CrtN’k Suit.
Mi. EC it or : Having been the first person
from Tennessee to visit Goose Creek for salt,
since Gen. Morgan evacuated Cumberland
Gap, 1 will make, overbuy proper signature,
a lew statements and suggestions, for the
benefit of our Tennessee friends who are in
need of salt.
1 went to Kentucky to look after some
“pressed” teams aud drivers, and, finding
them within some thirty miles of Goose
Creek, l concluded to go there and load with
salt. A good deal was said i:; Kentucky
about “ bushwhackers,” but I did not come
across uuy one who appeared acting in that
capacity, 'f he Cherokee Indians were scout
ing the country for them, who seem to have
pretty well clearu that section of them. 1
saw a number of the Cherokees on the road
1 found but two wagons at the works,
aud saw only about a half a dozen on the
j road. For the last several weeks there has
not bt-en, upon an average, over two wagons
per day at the works, as I was informed
There is at the several furnaces, from 30,000
to 50,000 bushels of salt; and all the fur
naces, when in operation, can porduce about
400 bushels per day. One of the most im
portant furnaces will be suspended for a few
weeks, during which time the quantity pro
nounced will only be about 250 bushels per
day. The quantity produced is not uniform,
as there are occasional hindrances.
1 He p»-U.,- of salt i.i fifty cents per bushel,
in specie, Luffed States Treasury notes or
Kentucky money. Confederate notes and
other Southern currency are not taken in
payment for salt at all. Not having tho
J kind of money required, I procured U. S.
j Treasury notes of a gentleman in the neigfi
j borhood, by depositing with him two dollars
! for one, in Southern currency, with the priv
: ilege of hereafter redeeming the same by
; paying the kind of money current there.—
Confederate notes, and other Southern cur
rency, are almost worthless iu that portion
of Kentucky.
After I had purchased my salt, and had
it loaded up, Mr. Doherty White, who is
the proprietor of the works where salt is now
sold, was in doubt as to whether or not be
ought to sell salt to a Tennesseean consider
ing the stringent treason laws enacted by
the Kentucky Legislature, aud the policy of
the Federal Government. Mr. White is
quite a gentleman, aud a mild Union man.
1 informed him that in case of any opposi
tion to my getting the salt, 1 intended ap
pealing to the Southern cavalry in the neigh
borhood. AV'o then had a kind of Confer
ence with the principal man of the different
works, and upon discussing the matter, they
agreed that it was right for me to bring salt
u u C
away. I believe that the different proprie
tors of the works arc gentlemanly men.—
They did not manifest any disposition what
ever to prevent salt coining South. They
appear to only want to know their duty, oc
cupying, as they do, rather a delicate posi
tion between the (wo governments. They
do not seem to think that Kentucky has \ot
taken final action to her future destiny, i
informed them that I believed a military or
der would soon be made, requiring them to
take Southern currency for salt which they
seemed inclined to believe might be done,
but said such an order would work a great
hardship to them. They could not now pay
any of their liabilities or expenses in South
ern currency. A number of their negro
hands are hired in the interior counties of
Kentucky. Owing to the contingencies of
war a millitary order should be made on
this subject, for the protection of the owners
of the \\ orks, and for the benefit of the peo
ple of the South. The refusal of Southern
money for salt, almost amonts to a prohibi
tion to Tennessee; as there is, in the hands
of our people, very little of the kind of
money required by them.
There d'-es not appear to be any regular
military post established at Goose Creek. —
There were a few cavalry scoutiug in the
neighborhood. A regular post should be
made here, which, with a few soldiers, would
make persons going there for salt feel safe
iu their persons and property. There are
some troops stationed at Flat Lick, about
half way from Cunberland Gap to the works.
Salt is re-weighed, and 34 i cents is
charged for the barrel. Persons going for
salt would do well to take barrels with them
as the supply is limited, and coopering diffi
cult to procure. None of the salt i;, sacked,
bui i» principally pfiled up under sheds.—
To haul iu sacks requires wagons well cov
ered, an i persons wishing to bring salt that
way should go provided with sacks. Four
horse wagons are probably preferable to
smaller ones, as four horses eau haul double
the amount that two can, with greater ease,
aud the expense of the driver is the same
for either. Those who cun shoe horses
would do well to take some shoe* and nails
with them, as there appears to be no regular
smith’s shops kept up from Tazewell to
Goose Creek—a distance of about sixty miles.
It would be well for several persona to go iu
company, as, in case ot accidents they could
assist each other. The roads are pretty
good, considering the mountains to be crossed
and the number of army wagons that have
passed over the scene.
Every person should take his own forage
and provisions to last the entire trip, going
and returning. Grain can be left at con
venient points on the road, to be used on the :
return trip. There has been a severe drouth
all along the route, and the different armies .
