In Magruder's corps were more Georgia regiments than of any other State. D. R. Jones' division had two brigades, the first commanded by Gen. Robert Toombs, composed of the Second, Fifteenth, Seventeenth and Twentieth Georgia regiments, and the second, under Col. George T. Anderson, made up of the First regulars, Seventh, Eightd, wounded, or unable to fire, not being able to load their pieces or out of ammunition. The seven companies included about 271 men, in this battle. At the same time the Seventh and Eighth regiments of Anderson's brigade, in the words of Gen. D. R. Jones, with that impetuous valor exhibited on other fields, advanced rapidly on the enemy, facing a hail of grape, canister and musketry, and driving him from his intrenchments to the edge of the Labor-in-Vain swamp.

Hood and J. L. Kemper. With Anderson was Wright's Georgia brigade; with Hood the Eighteenth regiment, in Hood's brigade. D. R. Jones' dD. R. Jones' division was almost entirely Georgian, including the brigades of Toombs and G. T. Anderson, and Drayton's brigade, in which were the Fiftieth and Fifty-first Georgia. While Jackson was fighting near Groveton on the 28th, Colonel Anderson reached Thoroughfare gap, and the Eighth Georgia, which he sent forward under Col. Benjamin Pecse of gallant service. Further south on the line, standing between the village of Sharpsburg and the southernmost bridge on the Antietam, was the division of D. R.

The regiments of his command were the First regulars, Second, Fifteenth and Seventeenth infantry, with Blodgett's battery. Under General Magruder on the peninsula of Virginia he commanded a division including his own and Anderson's brigades, and he was a participant in the battle of Dam No. 1. This division was commanded by D. R. Jones in the Seven Days campaign, and Toombs and his gallant brigade were distinguished in the combats at Garnett's farm and Malvern hill. In the Second Manassas campaign he led his men in the fight at Thoroughfare gap, and throughout the battles which followed. It was in this campaign that he was put under arrest temporarily by General Longstreet. As the latter relates the story, the corps commander having, in Toombs' absence, ordered the brigade to guard a ford on the Rapidan, the impetuou
