rticles or reports in the newspapers, I see my own action and opinions almost daily misconceived or misrepresented on the most reliable information with perfect equanimity, and you may well trust to your own well-earned reputation as a perfect shield against all anonymous attacks. At Camp Bartow, on the Greenbrier river, General Jackson and the six regiments of his division, reduced in effective numbers to 1,800 men, worn by privations and discouraged by previous failures, were attacked October 3d by 5,000 Federals under command of Brig.-Gen. J. J. Reynolds. Colonel Johnson, of the Twelfth Georgia, with an advance guard of 100, held the hostile force in check for an hour, giving the remainder of the command time to prepare for defense, and inspiring them to the fight. Among the memorable incidents of this mountain battle was the heroic conduct of Private J. W. Brown, of Company F, First Georgia, who, upon hearing the order for the advance guard to fall back, exclaimed, I will gi

Allen's company (A), which had preceded it to Georgia, was, with some new companies, added to the Thirteenth battalion to form the Sixty-third regiment. On the coast the Twelfth battalion served both as infantry and heavy artillery. A detachment of the battalion served at Battery Wagner, and in October the battalion under Major Hanvey served at Fort Sumter. In May, 1864, it went to Virginia as an infantry battalion with the following officers: Lieut.-Col. H. D. Capers, Maj. G. M. Hanvey, Asst. Quartermaster Ker Boyce, Adjt. F. W. Baker (killed); Capts.

Generals Bragg and Longstreet examined the Federal operations from the summit of Lookout on the 28th, and Geary's division being seen approaching, the divisions of Jenkins and Law, four brigades, were sent against it to make a night attack. This was a failure, and the Federals remained in control up to within range of the guns on Lookout mountain. About the last of October, Longstreet, Hardee and Breckinridge were ordered to examine the situation on Lookout creek with a view to a general battle, but they decided that the difficulty of crossing the mountain prevented all hope of success. Our position was so faulty that we could not accomplish that which was hoped for. We were trying to starve the enemy out by investing him on the only side from which he could not have gathered supplies, was Longstreet's expression of the situation after Hooker occupied Lookou
