that besieged point. The Twenty-sixth Alabama regiment, by reason of a regiment in the Virginia army bearing the same number, commanded by the gallant Colonel E. A. O'Neal, of Florence, Ala., was changed from the Twenty-sixth to the Fiftieth Alabama, under which number it endured the hardships of the Kentucky campaign under Bragg, engaged in the bat- tles of Murfreesboro, Chickamauga and all battles and campaigns up to the surrender of General Johnston.
But I cannot close this imperfect and rude sketch of the Twen'y-sixth. without noticing the gallant and lamented Colonel E. D. Tracy of the Nine- teenth Alabama regiment which was constantly attached, throughout the war, to the same brigade. He succeeded Colonel Joe Wheeler (afterwards major general of cavalry) in the colonelcy of the Ninteenth, and was subsequently promoted to the rank of brigadier general, and ordered to Mis- sissippi. He fell mortally wounded at the battle of Port Gibson, while superintending his skirmish line General Tracy was one of the youngest generals in the Cumberland Army. He was a native of Georgia, having moved to Huntsville, Ala., where he married a most estimable lady, and be- came a citizen, enjoying a most lucrative practice in his profession of law. He was highly beloved and esteemed by all who knew him, and no man yielded up his lite on the altar of Southern liberty w.th fairer and brighter hopes of political renown than opened before and invited the young and gifted Tracy.
General Tracy was a warm and enthusiastic supporter of Breckinridge in which capacity on the stump in North Alabama, he gained an enviable char- acter as a public speaker. Many of the ablest and first minds of the State were brought in conpetition with him on the stump, and though young and inexperienced as a politician, yet the might and power of his spirited elo- quence, the appropriate and tel'ing allusions and comparisons drawn from the classics, with which his mind was so well stored, were acknowledged and felt by all.
He sleeps now in a hero's grave, far away from the State that gave him 4. birth, but but he is not forgotten. Friends who loved him while living, and did him honor for his many noble traits of character, shed the bitter tear of regret at his untimely fall, fair hands still strew the flowers of spring over the clod that presses and covers the noble and generous heart that respond- ed so promptly to his country's call. But it is cold and pulseless now, dark "clouds have floated over his sunny South since the cold hand of death grasp- ed and severed its golden cord of life, yet their shadows were not cast upon that heart whose proud spirit is forever crushed, for his soul had sought a. "home in the skies, leaving as a heritage to his friends, an untarnished record as a soldier and gentleman.

PERRY & SMITH'S
TWENTY-SEVENTH REGIMENT ALABAMA INF.
In the fall of 1861, when the Federals were threatening Columbus, Ken tucky, Gen. Polk commanding the department of Kentucky and Tennessee called on the Governor of Alabama for troops to fortify some point on the Tennessee river, to prevent the gunboats of the enemy from coming into North Alabama. The Legislature determined to comply promptly with the requsition which was made on the State, and sent home several members for the purpose of raising troops and arousing the people in the Tennessee valley, to the necessity of taking immediate action, to prevent the invasion of the Northern part of the State.
Hon A A. Hughes, then a member of the House of Representatives, from Franklin returned from the capital, and with that energy and perseverance, characteristic of the man, proceeded to organize companies for the purpose of forming a regiment to operate on the Tennessee river. Hon. T. J. Foster, of Lawrence, and other prominent men in the Northern counties of the State assisted in the work, and soon a sufficient number of companies were raised to form a regiment which was done at a point on the Tennessee river called St. Heinian, in honor of the gallant Col. Heinian, who was at that time in command at Fort Henry.
The 27th Alabama was organized by the election of A. A. Hughes Col., James Jackson Lieut. Col., and F. McAlexander Major. Company A was com- manded by Captain J. E. Moore, of Franklin ; company B, Captain R. G. Wright, of Franklin ; company C, "'aptain Thompson, of Lauderdale ; company D, Captain H. B. Irwin, of Lawrence ; company E. Captain T. A. Jones of Lauderdale ; company F, Captain Roberts, of Madison ; company G, Captain Thos. McCulloch, of Franklin ; company H, Captain Humphrey, of Morgan ; company I, Captain Henry McGhee, of Lawrence ; company K, Captain Ray, of Lauderdale A few days after the organization of the regiment it was ordered to Fort Henry, which place was bombarded by the Federal gunboats, and after a gallant resistance of a few hours, the gallant Tilghman was forced to surrender. The 27th Alabama, with the other troops which were not captured, retreated to Fort Donelson, ten miles distant, on the Cumberland river and participated in that memorable seige which for courage and endurance was unparalelled in modern warfare ; and after a stub- burn resistance, that gallant garison was "outnumbered not outbraved." The general and field officers were sent to Fort Warren ; the company officers to Johnson's Island and the men to Camp Douglas.
In consequence of the epidemics incident to newly organized commands and the exposure and hardships to which the 27th had been exposed, many officers and men had been sent to different hospitals and were not captured.
After the retreat of (General Johnston's army from Nashville to Corinth Mississippi, the remnant of the 27th which were not captured, reported at Corinth and organized two companies, which were assigned to the 33rd Mississippi regiment, under command of Col. A. B. Hardcastle. The com- panies were commanded by Captain R. G. Wright ; Lieut. R. N. Harris, Lieut F. Le B. Goodwin and Lieut. H. Rodgers. Captain Win. Word, Lieut. "unningham, Lieut. Chandler. and Lieut. Andrews. "aptain T. A. Jones who had escaped from Donelson was elected Maj. of the 33rd.
Those companies designated as Cos. I and K of the 33rd mississippi, followed the destinies of the army of Tennessee from Corinth to Tupelo mississippi-from Chattanooga, through Bragg's campaign into Kentucky

and back to Shelbyville, Tennessee. At the battle of Perryville, on the 8th of October, both companies lost heavily in killed, wounded and captured it was there that Captain Word was killed, while gallantly leading his com- mand-a chivalous, high toned gentleman, devoted to the cause which he had espoused ; he fell while pursuing the enemy, when victory seemed to perch opon our standard. In that engagement the two companies lost eight killed, twenty-five wounded and several captured, among whom was Lieut. Goodwin of company I. The 33d mississippi was then in Brigadier General S. A. M. Wood's brigade, General Buckner's division
