I suppose you have not forgot- .en where I left off in my last let ter, bnt for fear some have, I will •date that we were in camps near Richmond, enjoying a little rest vftcr passing through seven disa greeable days of fighting, which ra* decidedly the hardest ami most disagreeable business a man- ever experienced. Here we enjoyed a rest, but not much health, and a great many -dckeneil and died, from some bowel trouble, caused, I think, from using the water, which some thought had lime in it. As wre could hear of no fighting we began to think the enemy had left with the most of their forces, and that Stonewall Jackson had made his way up in tiie valleys -again. We remained in camps luring July and August, and en joyed ourselves belter than my readers may imagine we did un der tiie circumstances. 1 w ill give] rou the names of the men dune! tember 16th, Colquitt's brigade, which bad been camped on the Potomac near Sbapardtown since yesterday, was ordered back to Sbarpabnrg.

While going in a shell fell in the 6lU Ga. regiment, killing one and wound ing fourteen or fifteen, which was quite a rake for one shot. The | enemy crossed the creek and came down in front of our line, lint it did not seem to be their intention to fight or even attack us that day, I for when we opened od them they j would move s owly down on om left, stretching out over our line. ed several pieces of artillery to play on the enemy while crossing the river. He bad one line of men in lines, so the cuemy could see them retreat. The enemy came to the river and one line fired a few allots and run; the enemy plunged into the river to get over oor left. We did not stay long as quick as they could to capture here. Jackson took Hill's divis drove us back. We bad quite a lively time, as we went through the same order we did in a regular battle. We struck camps about the first of May, and marched down near Fredericksburg and had a right hard fight with the enemy on seemingly to weaken it, and then make a fierce attack on some point j flAl.I. on him for Oricr'i Almanac i V-' containing tc-tiiiiomal.i. lie also | j buys bones lor tiie ( ouipany. i jall-l-lm iiurdrn Need !

Perry and James Brow n in hospi lal tent, while in camps near Richmond in August. '62. About the first of September we got orders to ’march, cooked up three days ration* and went to Orange Court House on the cars.: \Yc stayed there a few days and ! then started on the march toward | *” rc< '’ illu * l ^' e hard for some time, but our ot whip us. But when they got nearly across the artillery opened on them and came near blocking 1 the river wilh dead men and bora- ea. Jackson did some good work here Our army then marched through Winchester and Staunton rll down near Fredericksburg, going into winter quarters. The army suffered terribly on this march, some having to march over the frozen earth bare footed, almost without clothes, and on short ra lions. Wc hail short rations all the timeon the Maryland march. 1 stayed at Winchester 10 or 15 days, and was then carried to Staunton in an ambulance, distant 02 miles. When we camped I had lo get out the best I could, couldn't walk, but had to crawl wherever I went. Wc got there the third (lay. and as the ears run to this place, I managed to get on them about the third day and went to Richmond. On mv arrival 1 ion and marched in the direction of Chancelloraville. We made a forced march, and a great many soldiers fainted on the road lie- fore we halted. This looked like it meant business, and so it did. Our brigade marched into a skirt of woods and formed in iine of battle, and a batallion of skir mishers were sent out in front, while we were halted to rest. We soon got orders to advance, bnt did nut go iiut a short distance before wc surprised the enemy’s pickets and drove them in We went on and came to their line of battle, which was supported by 6 or 8 pieces of artillery. We whip ped them and captured their artil its 1 j lery before the brigade got up.— We run them about half a mile and halted. We came upon their flauk anil gained a complete victo and break our line. This was the was carried to the distributing programme all day on our {lortion hospital, which was a beautiful of the line. The enemy made an j place to me, two rows of bunks attack upon our division on the about 100 teet long, well dressed left after dark, and it was hard I and felt so soft an.I good it is a ! lighting until wc drove them back. ! wonder I woke up after g dug to The night passed otT more quietly .sleep.

I morning and at their |>ost*, as' made out that I couldn't walk for man killed in our company here; his name was Ely Mackey. About I o'clock a cloud came up and we had a very hard rain, which pre vented Lee from making a general attack on the enemy*. I was proud that rain came, for the enemy had lieen steadily at work all day on their breaslwoiks, and worked nearly all night. We were wet anil cold, but were not allowed to have any fire, but the night passed off tolerably quiet. Next mora nc we were ordered to : d. ance, which was bud news to us, lor we knew they were well fortified from th. way they worked the day before: we went ahead, but found no ene my, and you can bet your bottom dollar we were proud. Tbey had retreated aert as the river, and left the beat breastwoiks I ever saw. If Gen. Lee had fought them in these works we would have been forced to give back. We followed them nearly to the river, and then returned lo our old camps to rest awhile. We whipped the enemy liack. but wc lost a great many men. in both killed and wounded. Co.

Wc were then on the plank road, and some troops are fighting in front of us. The yankces lie gan shelling down the road, and you may bet that was a hot place.

We left our camps next morning, and passing through one or two Dice little towns in the valleys near Sough Mountain, halted and formed a line of battle, the enemy being in pursuit of us. We kept them back all day until just be fore sunset with two brigades, Colquitt's and another. Our ob holding them in check was e Jackson time to capture Harper's Ferry, which he did, to gether with a great many priso ners. We then retreated towards Sharpsburg, marching nearly all night, hut stopping awhile before day to get a little sleep. Next morning we continued the retreat to Sharpsburg and formed in line of battle, hut did not remain long, as Colquitt's brigade was march ed down to the Potomac and re- retreat, but he could not beat Lee retreating that night. He brought the lines of battle out side by side aud marched them down to the river ready to cross the next morn ing, although some crossed duriug the night. Seeing the army cross ing the river on the 19th, I was ordered to make my way to Win chester the best I could, and start ed on foot to walk there, it being 28 or 30 miles. I asked many to let me ride, but did not get to ride but little the first day. It took my best to get along for my wound was very sore. The second day a wagoner asked me to ride, and I rode something over half way, and was mighty thankful, I got there about dark, and went in a hospi tal and piled down on the floor to rest and sleep, but didn't sleep much. I will now tell you whit Jack- son done at the river: After our mained all day aad night. Sep- army had crossed the river, he fix- bed instead of the floor to sleep on, and somelhiug to eat I can relish, and loved ones to enjoy myself with, for I can assure you there was no enjoyment in a hospital. I remained at home 40 days, and my wound did not get well, but I was able lo go where I pleas ed and enjoyed myself line; but my mind was often roving and lighting with the boys in old Vir ginia. When fighting I was dreaming, and wc invariably got whipped. After the forty days were out myself and a friend went up to Maeon, were examined, and they gave us an extension, some thing in the order of a detail, and you may bet we were two proud soldiers as we went back home. I remained at home until the last of January. '63, and then re ceived orders to go back to my company. The young man who went to Macon with me did not go back when I did, hut stayed at home one month longer and got married. He was in big luck. I could have stayed longer, but do not know whether I could have married or not. I was not long going back as the cars run very tast, and found the command near Fredericksburg in winter quarters. They were doing very well, and enjoying life well to b« in thc war. I was proud to see them, and tbey stiil prouder lo see me, for I was from borne. Soldiers were always glad to see some one from home, as they brought them news from loved ones. There wa* no fighting, thc ene my being on ths north side of the Rappahannock river, and our ar my on the south side. We had some cold weather and one large snow, and we enjoyed it fine. Tiie second day after the snow, Dole’s brigade attacked two regiments of Colquitt's brigade for a snow fight, and drove us back. The 6lh Ga. formed in line and tried to cut off Dole's brigade, but as soon as they saw them flanking they retreated, and we drove them to their camps when they were reinforced and dered to charge, and did so with a yell, the yankees leaving as soon •s they beard the yell. We run them about half a mile and were stopped, the fight ceasing nearly all along the line except sharp shooting. The wuods caught on fire, and burning rapidly burnt up a good many wounded yankees. It was horrible to listen at their cries while burning. 1 heard some one say that tbey saw the brains burning in a man's head. The fighting having eeased awhile, we inarched out on the plank road where thc enemy had a line drawn up behind breastworks, and about two hundred yards in their rear they had a battery wilh a great many guns. Our men charged and routed them, but lost a great many men—the enemy did not lose many at this place. There was a piece of woods here, and it was torn ail lip with shot and shell, trees cut down and limbs torn off, being a sight to look at. I don’t see how any escaped death. We drew rations, and cooked and eat dinner here, having little idea tiie yankees were near, but it was not long before the pickets began firing and we had to form in line and move off. We went down thc road and stood there awhile aud then moved down a mile further and camped. We were not allow ed to have any fire, but the night passed quietly. Next morning we moved a short distance, formed a line of battle and our batallion of skirmishers was deployed out on the front line. About 10 o'clock Gen. Lee opened tire on the enemy with all his ar tillery, and I don’t think I ever heard such cannonading before.— Our pickets were like lizards, ly ing as flat on the ground as we could get, and all would have felt a great deal more pleasant to have been a hundred miles from there. After the shelling ceased., our line was ordered to advance. We went about 100 yards and came in con tact with the enemy and had a little skirmish fight. We lost one torturing pains. I was treated by several physicians, and was dosed on iodide of potassium abundantly. This treatment in creased my trouble. My blood >vas thoroughly infected; my skin was thick and yellow; my stomach was weak so that I could not re tain my food; my person was lin en out with sores which became offensive ulcers, and my strength was gone. Mercury brought on rheumatism, and potash had ruin ed iny stomach, and I thought there was nothing left for me lo do hut to (iic—so thought many of iny friends as I went hobbliii along the street. I tried all the remedies within reach, hut to no avail. At last a friend suggested tiie use of Swift’s Specific. Like many other drowning men, 1 was ready to catch at any straw that came in sight. I procured six bottles from Dr. Long. The first bottle gave me hope. The nausea of the stomach disappeared, and by the time I had taken the third the hard lumps on my neck w ent away;the ulcers were healed; my complexion cleared up. my skin smoothed off. and my strength began to return. I have taken in ail about thirty bottles. It has made a new man of me. 1 am a man of 63 years, but am strong and vigorous, eat anything and do any kind of work. I am sound and well. It is my honest opinion that Swift's Specific has taken me from thc grave’s mouth ami ad ded many years to my life. 1 would recommend it to suffering' humanity everywhere, not as a universal p-inacea for all diseases, hut as a specific for all blood and skin diseases, such as blond poi son. rheumatism.scrofula, eczema, tetter and catarrh, for I have seen it tried on most all of these. I am ready and more than willing to answer all inquiries tending thc above points. I am well known in Athens, and refer to anyone or all of the old citizens of this city. Wiley F. IIood, Athens, Ga. Jan. 5,18S5. The Best In the Xarhet. I have been afflicted with a blood humor and indigestion for fifteen years. I have used various medicines, but with- little pur pose. I have received more ben efit from Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) than anything else I have ever taken. It is thc best blood puri fier on the mat kel. A. J. Brooks, Round Rock, Tex.
