Mil. Kim tor?Just thirty d*ys ?go, i
in our own quiet little Town almost !
within the shadow's fall of your roof tree
nnd mine, it win that I felt tbo warm
I
prrwure of your Land, nod received from
jou a heartfelt God-epeod oo my way to j
tlie post of duty. And now, after n
wandering routi of travel, extending !
nearly peventc u hundred miles, I call^
to my aid the appliencoe of pen, pn|?r (
and ink, and from this far off" field, w>
recently the scene of strife, and anon
n^aiii, per ha pa, to resound with the din
of battle, I groet you, Mr. Kditor, and
through your />/?/*?'< A| my greeting to
our friends ftl Atone. I would like much
to devote half, a Uoiuu sheets or ao of
this trar?/lcd paper to recounting the
incidcnta of ouryuurncy, specialty vkaf;
portion of it performed on foot, from Cat
Inland to Charleaton; but tnuo and tal
low are both scarce aud io ^reat demand.
We performed the inarch between those ,
two points, or rather to Mi?unt Pleasant, j
in four day*. At litis latter placo wo I
% encamped until Friday the 11th, on
which day wo received orders to join the |
Army of the Miasist-ippi at thin place.
V We left the depot at Charleston a few
minutes before mid night, and reached
cd Augusta, (^137 miles) the next evening
about 3 o'clock, doing np this part
of tho travel at the rale of a fraction
B over niue miles per hour. At Augusta
B the means of transportation were not
sufficient to convey the whole llegiment.
The right wing under Col. Manigaull
left at 7 o'clock for Atlanta, (172 roilee)
the left wing under Col. I'reaaly left at
9 o'clock, and reached Atlanta {Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock. At Atlanta the
means of transportation were more
nmplo, and we started for Corinth via
Chattanooga in good spirits. On reaching
Dalton, distant from Atlanta 104
.-des, we were met by the intwJUgwacc
that the enemy had taken possession wf
Huutsvills, and received orders to return
to Atlanta, and make oer way hither via
Mobile. We returned as Car aa Marietta,
I * nines, w 11 ere we were iuri uy iwu
Tennessee, and one South Carolina
Regiment on their way to Corinth. We
egniu retraced our route with the iateotion
of attempting to cut our way
through IlunUviile, and thua shoatea the
rouU; hut on our second irrirei at Dalton,
we received the further intelligence
that a Urge Kailrood Bridge at Rteeeaeoo
had been baroe4 by the enemy, thus
stopping our further progress by this
route. Nothing was left for us but to
return to Atlanta, and frowi there to
Montgomery, J70 miles, from Moot
