our deterniinaiion not to partake of any
thing of the kind, yet we had to yield to
the pressing solicitations of those who had
learned, by actual experience, what we
were about to endure ; and after a most ap
propriate and splendid repast front the va
riegated Loard, under the roaring of can
non, we resumed our line of inarch, but had
not proceeded more than two miles, when
Mr. Kindrick, in behalf of the citizens of
Madison, overtrok us, accompanied by his
servant, and pressed us with the most pa
triotic fervency to march back and encamp
in the tents prepared for a camp meeting.
Though we expressed our desire of going
ahead, ami likewise that our Commissary
was ahead, and perhaps had contracted for
provisions and forage for the night, he des
patched his servant to inform our Commis
sary, and then urged in the language el'nj
brother soldier, and in behalf of his fellow
soldiers and the citizens of his village, not
to expose ourselves to the inclemency <;f
a wet and cold night. Our company, with
feelings forcibly impressed with the patriot
ic motives of the citizens, reluctantly re
turned to the Camp Ground, a mile and a
half from Madison, where they were boun
tifully furnishod with fuel, provisions and
forage, and good old peach—the villagers,
not merely enquiring what we wanted, but
actually entered the tents, sought us out.
and amply and most sumptuously supplied
our every want. After which, the Morgan
Guard, headed by Capt. Foster, marched
to our encampment, escorted by the most;
melodious and mastial band of music that ’
that has perhaps enchanted the soldier’s!
ear, since the battle of the Cowpens. The!
mililaty prowess of the commanding offi
cer of which, gave name to the county of
which we jare treating, and whose inhabi-!
tants we are sure, if possible, must enhance !
that reputation for nobleness of sentiment
and patriotic ardor for which Georgians ;
have been distinguished. After a return
•f our thanks, their captain in an impres- j
live and patriotic style, detailed to us the '
hardships we were about to encounter, and
that, in the emphatic language of Gen.l
Scott “it took Georgian’s to stand it” they
left ourcatnp under the reciprocal cheer-,
ings and feelings of the parting of brethren
in arms. On the 14th we decamped, and
took up our march, with tears of patriotic ■
sympathy flowing down the cheeks of the
generous and the fair, who would have fain
said stay— but the spirit of ’76, bade us
part with them to discharge our duty to j
our country, and reap the reward of the |
good and the brave. We then passed on
through Eatonton, on the Sabbath, the ..cit
izens, though in silence, seemed to accom
pany us with their best wishes. On the
ICth we reached the capitol of our State,
w here we received a treat in perfect accor
dance with that distinguished and patriotic j
character forwhich the citizensof Milledge
ville, are so justly celebrated—during
which, some of the most cordial and patri
otic sentiments were given by Mr. Haynes,
President, and Mr. 1 L. Harris Vice Pres
ident, and others, which were responded to
by our company. This being more partic
ularly for the gratification of our friends
and relatives at home, whom it must please ;
to see so many indications of respect for the ;
Mountain Boys. We must conclude, as the
signal for parade is sounding.
