As Christmas is at hand, it will perhaps be interesting to know sum thing about the Christmas of the soldier in 1804. My command, t*he Fifty-sixth Georgia regiment Cummings brigade, was attached to the western army. During the campaign from Dalton, General J. E. Johnston was relieved from command at Atlanta, and General Hood placed in command. After the fall or Atlanta, we fought the battle of Jonesboro, then com menced the march to Nashville, Tenn. We occupied the trenches and fought on Decern aer 14, 185 4, the first oattle on the 16. n, the third battle, h iving been driven from our position. Just before the f.rst day of the fight we were standing around a large pile of logs, of .vnicii ive had in nle a fire; the rain was steadily falling and froze as it fell, icicles of aoout two or ihr?e mciies were ii injing to oar coattans, as the weather wa.-> yj Hie c nd and Uisagi ecame.

The river was high and swift, but as we were to be pnt across to protect the pontoon bridge, we were put into pontoon boats and rowed across. We landed in a low place where the water was over the top of our shoes. We com minced again to build fires, and were ordered n«t to do so, as we would be there only for a short time. About night the order came for us to stay there for the night. We picked up rails, wood and built bunks as best we could, so as to keep us out of the water, and went to our peaceful couches and slept sweetly, thus spending our Christm is cold and hungrv and without any bedding, as we had left rn ).->t of our baggage at Nashville.
