A short, and as concise as possible, history of each rc;;inicnt that contained men from this county is given, except in a few cases where the nnmher of men w.ia so small as to attach no general interest to the history of the organization. With it is given as complete a list of those who enlistol from this county as can be ni.ade at this time. It only contains the names of those who were honorably disehaiged. It can do no good to perpetuate a record that may have been marred hy mistake or inadvertence, as well as purposely. That the list is complete, is not claimed, but, where names are omitted that should be contained in it, it will be found on cxaniinatiiui, thai it is, in a great majority rd' e;uscs, the fault of the soldier, or his officer's carelessness.

Here they also found all the briilges destroyed, nnd, as the river was very high, it could not b.^ forded. Work commenced at once to build new bridges, and one was erected on the piers of the old turnpike bridge, and a pontoon bridge was thrown across the river, enabling the whole army to cro.sH on the 31st. On the next day. the army marched for Savannah, A Bliiall town on llio Tennessee Biver, scvcnty-fivo miles southwest of Columbia. Tho progress was slow and the mareb difficult. The road passes through a very rough, hilly coiiolry, often following for miles the bed of a mountain stream. Heavy rains had rendered ihc streams difficult lo ford, but perseverance and energy triumphed over all obstacles, and, on the f)th, the command encamped within Iwcnty-ono miles of Snvnnnah.
