The two detectives worked a ear. and then the money was returned to Stout through the efforts, it la alleged, of the detectives. Stout, it is wrid, admits that he received the $8,000, but says he got it from another source, and not through the work of the detectives. Hobbs and Williams were to receive together, they aver, 50 per cent. vt the money recovered, and ask for a judgment of Aged Farmer's Alleged Shortage.

BATTLEFIELD CAREER OF ONE OF LEE'S CRACK REGIMENTS. Tint to Georgia For the ol 'Work at Mftlvern Hill, ChAncelloravIlle Com- mandera Shot Down In Every Battle. 1S97. by American Press Asao- elation. Book rights EOBGIA troops had no trumpeter to sound their praises as soldiers in tine service of the southern Confederacy.

Battlefield records are the only in i als ol their valor. Many of Lee best so1 diera in the Army of Northern Virginia were Georgians, and from a series of regimental histories prepared in 1864, while the regiments were at Petersburg, the data for the following sketch of the "Old Third" Georgia was obtained. In the spring of 1864 the congress of the Confederate states passed a joint resolution of thanks to the officers and men of the Third Georgia regiment for having been first to leave their state to battle on the soil of Virginia, for their gallant record on many historic battlefields and for having as an entire regiment to a man "cheerfully and unanimously re-enlisted for the war." The Third Georgia was organized in the spring of 1861 from ten companies which, with one or two exceptions, had been, in existence several years previous- to the war. Nine counties were by the Burke Putnam, by the'' Brown Green, by the "Dawson Grays;" Morgan, by the "Home Guards;" Houston, the "Governor's Guards;" "Wilkinson, the "Wilkinson Rifles;" Richmond, by the "Confederate Light Gruards," and the Blodget Clarke county turned out the "Athens Guards." A volunteer who had come forward at Augusta and enlisted among the privates was elected colonel. This was Ambrose R.

Wright, who became noted as a general in Lee's army. After serving a short time at Norfolk the Third marched to the defense of the coast of North Carolina against Burnside's Roanoke expedition. An incident there illustrated the nature of Burnside's warfare. One day the regiment embarked on two or three gunboats belonging to what was called the Mosquito fleet and pounced upon the United States transport steamer Fanny, which was carry- ing provisions and clothing from the fleet off Hatteras to a small camp on the Chicarnacomico river. The was captured with all its cargo, 2 cannons and 40 prisoners.

The supplies were intended for the Twentieth Indiana regiment, and many of the prisoner's were from that command. Three days later, having been re-enforced, the Third swooped down upon the camp on the banks of the Chicamucomico, shelled out its occupants and seized the entire equipage of tents, baggage and rations. Being largely outminibered, without any supports, the Twentieth Indiana, whose camp it was, retreated to Hatteras. These two regiments, the Third Georgia and Twentieth Indiana, met afterward on even ground at the battle of Oak Grove, in front of Richmond, June 25, 1S62. It was an all day skirmish rather than a battle, but was a good test for soldier pluck.

At the close of it, after nightfall, the colonel of the Twentieth Indiana sent a flag of truce to Colonel "Wright of the Third Georgia asking permission to bury his dead. The Georgians remained iii North Carolina until the Army of the Potomac laid siege to Richmond in May, 1863. With the exception of the skirmish on the 25th of June, when McClellan seized the ridge at Oak Grove for his heavy batteries, this regiment did not take part in the fighting around Richmond; neither did the brigade nor division nor corps to which it was attached. Colonel "Wright was promoted to the command of the brigade, and the Third Georgia was led by Major John R. Sturgis.

The first heavy battle of the "Old Third" was on the 1st of July, when, in the ranks of "Wright's brigade, it charged the Federal batteries at Malvern Hill. General Wright led his men forward under the shelter of a bluff to a position a few hundred yards from McClellan's gems. On a signal the line dashed up the slope, its leader with his cap poised on his glittering sword, in the face of a murderous lire of shot, shell, canister and bullets. When within 800 yards of the guns, General Wright saw a body cf Federal infantry marching around his left flank. This command was the Fourteenth New York volunteers.

Wright threw the Third Georgia regiment back toward, the rear, and with a sudden change of front the Georgians poured a galling fire upon the New Yorkers. This was returned by a fearful and direct fire from the Federal batteries. The battle raged there for more than an hour. A second charge was ordered from that point, and Wright carried his brigade almost to the muzzles of the enemy's batteries. He bad less than 300 men left out of the 1,000 which started with him upon the charge.

Darkness soon flopped the fighting. The Georgians maintained their position under fire until after 9 o'clock. The loss in the Third Georgia regiment, which went into bat- He with 250 rank and file, was 137. Out of that number 57 were killed cr mortally wounded. Major Sturgis fell at the head of a regiment under Terr mnzales of the enemy's gnus.

Tht eapuin -who succeeded him frac also m- Terely wounded. In taking leaTe of the Chickahominy Mgion tha chronicler of the fortunes of the Third Georgia that during erne nonth of oampaijnirg on of that stream the regiment suffered severely from disease, and the ranks were reduced by sickness from 1,000 to about 300 fit for duty. Upon leaving the peninsula Major M. B. Montgomery took command of the regiment, and in Che next battle of Manassas, in August, 862, he was severely wounded and disabled.

Captain Nisbet, the last leader shot down at Malvern Hill, then took command with the rank of lieutenant colonel. At Autietam Colonel Nisbet was severely wounded and disabled for life. The regiment mustered only 125 men at the beginning of that battle and lost 24 killed and 48 wounded. The Georgians winter on the banks of the Rappahannock, and their historian gives a further 1 hint at the hardships, which have heretofore been looked at chiefly from the northern Bide. He says, "The suffering of this command at United States ford (on the Rappahannock) from cold, short rations and a scanty supply of clothing could scarcely have been excelled by those which so severely tried the fortitude and patriotism of our forefathers when quartered in the historic Valley Forge." Under its fifth commander, Major John F.

Jones, the Third entered the campaign at Chancellorsville and was in the thick of the fight from the first day until the last. It was in the advance of Stonewall Jackson's flanking column and fought for the right of way around Hooker's army. On the morning of Sunday, May 3, when the grand charge was made upon the position at the Chancellor House, the Third Georgia was sent out alone to clear the way of Federal sharpshooters. The next day it hurried down the plank road toward Fredericksburg and took part in the battle of Salem Church with another wing of Hooker's army. It was in battle every day from May I to May 4 and came out with a loss of 189 killed and wounded, missing.

Major Jones was among the wounded and suffered the loss of his right arm. He was the fourth leader shot down at the head of the regiment in ten months of campaigning. A large number of recruits joined the regiment about this time, and the Third marched to Gettysburg 500 strong. Its most brilliant action was on the evening of the second day, when A. P.

Hill's corps took up the fight which Longstreet had begun when attacking Round Top. General Wright's brigade, in which the Third Georgia still served, was one of the commands which pierced the Federal line on the right of Sickles' corps, when Longstreet's troops were dashing upon its front. The Federals were driven from their guns on the ridge along the Emmitsburg road. Wright's brigade seized 20 pieces of cannon, 11 of which were prizes of the Third Georgia regiment. However, the support brigades did not come up, and Wright was driven out before the day closed.

The severe fighting of the regiment was confined to this one charge, which was very brief, but it suffered the loss of 41 killed and 148 wounded. During the charge, when the regiment was driving the enemy, the color bearer was shot down and the flag fell to the ground. It was immediately snatched up by Adjutant Alexander, who bore it at the head of the regiment triumphantly into the Federal battery in front in spite of a severe wound in his right arm. The enemy made a target of him, and his clothing was pierced by eight bullets. On the march hack through northern Virginia after the battle of Gettysburg the Third, now reduced to about 200 men, was engaged in the stubborn advance of Manassas Gap, where an attempt was made to cut Lee's columns in two.

In that action the Third had the post of honor upon the mountain top, and, although flanked, held its position bravely. In this action 14 men were killed and 45 wounded. In the battles of the Wilderness campaign the losses in Confederate regiments are no guide to the severity of the fight. The Third fought in the Wilderness and at Spottsylvania. On the 14th of May it participated in a charge upon Grant's breastworks at Spottsylvania, and in a short fight of 20 minutes lost 78 killed and wounded.

The division in which the Third Georgia served at that time, formerly under General R. H. Anderson, was led by General William Mahone. The annals of the reeiment close with the battle of Petersburg Cra- GEXEKAL A. EL WRIGHT.

colonel Third ter, July 30. 1S64. With the rest of Mahone's division it charged upon the Federal lines around the Crater and met with a heavy loss. Its casualties in the siege of Petersburg up to that were 137 killed and wounded. In re- Tiewing the career of the regiment up to that time the historian says thai not a field officer who ever commanded the regiment in action escaped the enemy's bullets.

One company had lost 101 men killed and wounded and another 94. The total roster of the regiment up to July, 1864, was 1,463. Out of that number 218 had been killed, 629 wounded and 213 had died from disease, making total of 431 deaths. In addition 342 men had been discharged for disability, making a total lose to the regiment of 77S, or OTW SO per cent of iw strength. KILKHB.
