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 third, Twenty-fourth, Twenty-sixth, Twenty seventh, Twenty-eighth, Thirty-first, Thirty second, Thirty-fifth, Thirty-eighth, Tuiiy 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. * Generals Toombs, Lawton and Wright • b av e gone to the rear on account of their ; wounds. j*. \y. a. ]From the lvnoxvillt* Register.} 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.
