MILITARY HISTORY OF MISSISSIPPI.
Guirk recrossed the river with his two regiments, about 300 men, dis- mounted, and two guns of the Buckner Battery, and took position to check the pursuit. A body of Federals under the famous Captain Hodgman, Seventh Kansas Jayhawkers, occupied a log house, which Barksdale and his men charged in the face of a heavy artillery fire from two batteries. The house was taken and Hodgman wounded and cap- tured. About dark the regiment was again in action with Hovis' Regi- ment, repelling twice the Federal attack. It came up with a charge and a yell, said McGuirk. About 9 o'clock the rear guard, volunteers from this regiment, crossed the river. The casualties were I killed, 6 wounded, 3 missing. Captain Logan, Acting Major; Captain Barksdale, Lieu- tenant Hurt (commanding Company G), were mentioned for gallantry. For their service in this expedition, including the engagements at Salem, Collierville and Wyatt, honorable mention was given to Lieut. Col. James A. Barksdale, Major; B. M. Kilgore, Adjutant; (Captain) W. Joseph Walker, Sergeant-Major E. L. Richmond, Orderly C. C. Harris, Capt. H. E. Williamson, Quartermaster; Lieut. P. M. Morgan, Com- missary; W. F. Baker, Acting Commissary.
The regiment, under the command of Colonel Barksdale, participated with George's Regiment in the gallant cavalry charge at Collierville, Tenn., November 3, 1863, which was repulsed by the unexpected volleys from revolving rifles of the Second Iowa, at the railroad. The advance of this regiment was on the Quinn's Mill road, and the attack was gal- lantly made, as was testified to both by Chalmers and Hatch, the officers commanding on each side. On the retreat, after crossing the Cold- water near Quinn's Mill, the regiment joined in the stubborn resistance which prevented their pursuers from crossing until the next day. The casualties of this regiment were the heaviest in General Chalmers' com- mand-I killed, 3 officers and 19 men wounded,
November 30, the same two regiments, crossing the Coldwater at very high water, moved into Tennessee with Chalmers' expedition in support of S. D. Lee and Forrest, reaching Moscow December 4. Slemons' brigade burned the railroad trestle over Grisson's Creek, between Moscow and Lafayette.
Colonel Meek, Eleventh Illinois, reported that his command, which had gathered up horses and mules and burned grain and cotton and shops on the Holly Springs road by way of Chulahoma, passed through Holly Springs on the evening of the 21st, stopped to feed on the Hernando road two miles from Hudsonville, and left that road for the LaGrange road when one of his pickets was shot, leaving two companies to bring in the wounded man. Later he sent back Major Funke with one company, hearing that a fight was on. McGuirk had come in by a by-road, and cut off the three companies, which extricated themselves with difficulty, losing I killed, 2 wounded and 26 prisoners.
Regiment assigned to Slemons' Brigade in the organization of the cavalry under S. D. Lee, January, 1864.

February 2, 1864, McGuirk skirmished near LaGrange, Tenn. The regiment participated in General Forrest's defeat of Sooy Smith's expedi- tion near Okolona, February 20-22, 1864, and had 3 wounded (see Second Cavalry). At the outset of the famous raid of Forrest and Chalmers through Tennessee in April, 1864, Colonel McGuirk with his regiment and the First Partisans made a demonstration from Holly Springs toward Memphis, which was so effective as to make practicable the capture of Fort Pillow April 12.
In criticising the enlistment in State regiments to avoid conscription in the Confederate service General Chalmers wrote, January 6, 1864: "These State companies have done more harm than good. I do not include in this remark Colonel McGuirk's Regiment-that has done good service -- but both he and his officers have long since been convinced that the regiment would be more effective if it were regularly in Con- federate service."
Regiment ordered to report at Macon to the Governor for special and important service, March 3, 1864. Aggregate of regiment, 325. Gov- ernor Clark appointed April 30, 1864, as the day for State cavalry to assemble at Tupelo for transfer to the Confederate service. "As the regiment of Colonel McGuirk is one of those to be transferred, it is very desirable that they should be paid the amount due them for the time they were in Confederate service, some five or six months are due them, also pay for horses killed in battle." The Governor declared they were in as good a state of discipline and as effective as any troops, and he consented to their transfer to the Confederate service. The regiment was reorganized at Oxford in the latter part of April, 1864, and the Colonel commissioned April 25, 1864. May 1, 1864, the Gholson Brigade was turned over to the Confederate States, Colonel McGuirk command- ing brigade. May 22, General Forrest ordered Brigadier-General Gholson to take command of his brigade. The brigade was attached for a time to Forrest's command, and then transferred to the command of Wirt Adams before Vicksburg, being ordered to Canton, May 26.
Gholson's Brigade was withdrawn from Adams by General Forrest . before Slocum's raid to Jackson, July, 1864, but rejoined General Adams near Jackson, in time to participate in the attack upon Slocum's column about four miles west of Jackson on the evening of July 6, when McGuirk's Regiment charged and attempted to cut off the wagon train. Another attack was made in the morning of the 7th and a third, near Clinton, by Lowry's Regiment. McGuirk's Regiment; commanded by Lieutenant- Colonel Barksdale, had 8 wounded, I missing. General Gholson was severely wounded and Colonel McGuirk took command of the brigade.
Later in July the brigade was transferred to Georgia and was tempora- rily assigned to Walthall's Division on the Atlanta lines, July 25, and put with Reynold's Brigade. General Reynolds reported that McGuirk's command joined him just before he marched out to the battle on the Lickskillet road, July 28, and they marched out on the left of his line. Reynolds charged the Federal line, behind log works, and was repulsed

after a bloody fight. He reported that Colonel McGuirk, under orders from some field officer, charged the works a second time, but was com- pelled to fall back with considerable loss. "The loss in General Gholson's Brigade, some 450 strong, was 144 killed, wounded and missing." The casualties of McGuirk's Regiment was 8 killed, including Major T. W. Webb and Lieut. S. H. White, commanding Company C. Captain E. L. Richmond was dangerously wounded, Captains Daniel and Orr wounded and missing. Total wounded 43, including Lieuts. James Miller, R. A. Butler, W. O. Cockram, W. H. Thornton and John Griffin.
In the battle of Jonesboro, Ga., August 31, Colonel McGuirk, of Gholson's Brigade, reported to General Granbury with his regiment, dismounted, and a battalion of engineer troops (Major Presstman), and aided in the rout of the enemy in their front. Granbury wrote: "Seeing them endeavoring to rally at a crossing opposite my left flank, I ordered Colonel McGuirk to advance his two battalions in double-quick time, which was executed by that officer promptly and gallantly, and in time for his command to deliver a few volleys before the enemy escaped beyond the river." Moving his whole brigade up to Flint River, Gran- bury dressed his line on the position of Colonel McGuirk. September 19, General Hood, at Palmetto, ordered Gholson's Cavalry Brigade, then at Opelika, up the west side of the Chattahoochee River, opposite Newnan. September 28, with Ross' Brigade, formed Ross' Division of Jackson's Cavalry. December 12, 1864, McGuirk's Regiment was en route through Montgomery to Mobile. December 16-17, it took part in the pursuit of the Federal expedition to Pollard. January 6, 1865, regiment had been ordered to Brandon. January 20, marching to concentrate with Mabry's Brigade at Canton. February, 1865, McGuirk's Regiment ordered to report to Gen. Wirt Adams.

This regiment was formed in June, 1864, from the consolidation of Ashcraft's and Harris' Battalions, and Carpenter's company, transferred to the Confederate States service May 1, 1864, as a part of Gholson's Brigade in Northeast Mississippi. The brigade was then under the com- mand of General Forrest, but about the time of the consolidation was assigned to the command of Gen. Wirt Adams, in Western Mississippi. They were detached from Adams just before General Slocum made his raid on Jackson from Vicksburg, but joined Adams north of the city May 5, and took part in the attacks on the Federal column between Jackson and Clinton, as it started on the return march July 6-7. Casualties, 7 wounded.
July 28 the brigade, dismounted, was fighting in the battle of Ezra Church, west of Atlanta, Ga., with Gen. S. D. Lee's Corps. Major Han- kins was in command of the regiment. Among the killed were Captain Carpenter, commanding Company A; and among the wounded Lieutenant Lankford of Company B, Captain Sallis, Lieutenant Harper, Captain Patton. Casualties of regiment, 4 killed, 37 wounded. (See Third Regiment, McGuirk.) The brigade served as cavalry throughout that campaign and during Hood's advance into North Georgia. In December General Gholson, with a small command, was in battle with Grierson's raiders at Egypt. (See Second Cavalry, Lowry).
The brigade was consolidated early in 1865 while near Columbus, Miss., as Ashcraft's Regiment (which see).

The above are some of the companies. There is no further informa- tion in this department. Green L.

He was commissioned Colonel of the First Regiment Cavalry, State troops, 29 April, 1863. The companies of his command were to a considerable extent organized under the act of Con- gress authorizing partisan rangers. The command was sometimes referred to as the Second Regiment, Partisan Rangers.
Blythe's Battalion was part of the command collected or attempted to be collected by General Chalmers in the region open to raids from Memphis, early in 1863. A Federal report, February, 1863, says: Van-

Dorn's movement "clears our front of all cavalry except that of G. L. Blythe's which is operating ir. the direction of Panola." Three prisoners from this command were reported by Gen. Quinby, commanding expedi- tion across Nonconnah Creek. February 16, Gen. Hurlbut proposed an expedition under Col. A. L. Lee to "sweep around toward Panola and Hernando, enveloping Blythe's force and driving them to the Nonconnah or into the swamp." February 25, Hurlbut reported "Richardson's guerrillas, near Covington, and Blythe's below, still in motion." May 6, General Chalmers reported from Oxford, "half of Blythe's Regiment have never been in camp." May 16, Capt. T. P. Manning ordered to scout in direction of Memphis. May 19, General Chalmers recommended that "the regiment commanded by Col. Green L. Blythe be converted into Confederate troops." May 19, Hurlbut wrote, ordered Gen. W. S. Smith to advance from LaGrange against Chalmers, "Blythe's Battalion is about twelve miles south of Memphis, engaged in conscripting and obtaining horses." Floyd's company mentioned, appears to have been from along the Mississippi River. May 26 Blythe's Regiment in country west of Hernando. May 26, General Chalmers reported: "Colonel Slemons, with Second Arkansas and Second Mississippi Partisans, fired on transports near Austin without effect. Troops of Ellet's mounted marines were disbarked and repulsed, leaving eighteen dead horses. Slemon's casu- alties, I Captain and 2 men killed, 12 wounded and 2 missing."
April 8, driven across Coldwater by Federal expedition, Captain Still- well's company engaged. Blythe, with seven small companies, about 300 according to Federal report, skirmished with Bryant's Infantry Brigade, raiding from Memphis, with engagements at Hernando, April 18, and on the Coldwater, 19th.
A Federal expedition from Memphis to Hernando May 23-24, 1863, reported an encounter with Captain Manning's company near Colonel Blythe's plantation, in which three of the command were killed. Cap- tain Manning's plantation was in the same vicinity. Another raid passed these places May 26.
July 9, General Chalmers feared that few would re-enlist with the possibility of being removed from defense of their homes, but the regi- ment could be kept in the service as an organization for service as guer- rillas (detached companies).
July 21, George reported that very few of Blythe's Regiment could be gotten to Vaiden for re-enlistment, but he could organize a battalion in the regiment, if he had a fair chance.
Blythe's command served under General George in the operations attending the raid of Colonel Mizner, who set out with 1,900 cavalry, June 15-25, from LaGrange, Tenn., with orders from Hurlbut to break the railroad south of Panola, turn on Chalmers, and sweep the country of horses, mules, negroes and the new crop of wheat. George retreated from Senatobia across the Yockeney when he had learned the strength of Mizner's command and reached the railroad bridge too late to protect it. Blythe's Regiment did not accompany McQuick in the pursuit across the

MILITARY HISTORY OF MISSISSIPPI.
Tallahatchie, being exhausted. April 29, 1863, Blythe, Edmondson and Bowen were commissioned as field officers of the First Regiment, State troops. In August the regiment was reported as reorganizing, and not available during the Grenada raid. The regiment was reorganized by General George.
When General Chalmers made his second raid to Collierville, Novem- ber 3, 1863, he intended to have Major Blythe burn the water tank at White's Station, near Memphis, but Chalmers was informed that Blythe would not obey his orders. The General wrote: "I have already re- ported that this command, if allowed to continue its independent action, would greatly demoralize my cavalry."
In 1864-65 Major Blythe was commanding a battalion of State troops, in which were included the following:
Company B, of Senatobia.
Lieutenants-W. L. Martin, R. O. Moseley, C. G. Callicut. Enrolled, 66.
