In these two battles-Chickamauga and Missionary Ridge-the regiment had lost all its field officers, many of its company officers, and more than half of its men. The Fiftieth Tennessee, the First Tennessee Battalion (commanded by Maj. 3. H. Colms), and the Fourth Confederate Tennessee (commanded by Lieut .- col. O. A. Bradshaw), were then consolidated. S. H. Colms was made Colonel; O. A. Bradshaw, Lieut .- col .; and Capt. George W. Pease, of the Fiftieth, was pro- moted to be Major of the new regiment. John W. Childress was Adjutant, and Dr. R. G. Rothrock, Surgeon; Poston Couts, of Clarksville, was Ordnance Ser- geant. After the fall of Atlanta, Col. Colms, on account of ill health, was as- signed to post duty at Macon, Ga., when Bradshaw was promoted to full Colonel, and Pease to Lieutenant-colonel.
During the hard winter of 1863-64 the regiment was in winter-quarters at Dal- ton, Ga. In the early spring of 1864 it fell back with the army under Gen. Ju- seph E. Johnston, before Sherman's overwhelming force, and participated in all " the battles from Dalton to Atlanta, along the line of that famous retreat. At Resaca, Calhoun Station, Adairsville, Kingston, New Hope Church, Pumpkin-vine Creek, Dead Angle, Peach-tree Creek, in all the battles around Atlanta, and at Jones- boro, with constantly diminishing ranks, the old Fiftieth faced the enemy.
Among others, at the terrible spot named by the soldiers "Dead Angle" fell young John B. Robertson, the only brother of Maj. C. W. Robertson. He was a mere boy, and had been with the regiment only a few days, having come South, as he said, to take his brother's place. He was acting as Sergeant-major at the time of his death.

REGIMENTAL HISTORIES AND MEMORIAL ROLLS.
Capt. John L. W. Power was wounded on the 20th of June. James Easley, of Company F, a gallant soldier, and very popular, and many others, whose names I cannot now give, were killed. There was no rest for the men day or night, and fighting and lying in the trenches had reduced the regiment to a mere skeleton.
When Gen. Hood took command of the army, and after the terrible fighting around Atlanta issued a stirring address to his soldiers and turned their steps northward, the hearts of the Tennesseans beat high with hope. Nashville was to be recaptured, and the flag of the Confederacy to float once more over the loved ones at home. But it was not to be. At Franklin, and in sight of the Capitol at Nashville, blood flowed like water, and brave men fell by hundreds. All in vain! _ Once more the shattered remnant of the army took up its march southward, and on New-year's-day, 1865, the Fiftieth crossed the Tennessee line and stood on the soil of Alabama, The handwriting was now on the wall.
After a few days rest, the command was sent by rail to Smithfield, N. C., and here, in the last days of the Confederacy, the Eleventh, Twelfth, Thirteenth, Nineteenth, Fiftieth, Fifty-first, and Fifty-second Tennessee regiments were all consolidated into one feeble regiment, which was called the Second Tennessee. Bradshaw remained the Colonel of this regiment, and Pease Lieutenant-colonel; Rothrock was Surgeon. The men of the Fiftieth and the First Tennessee bat- talions, and the Fourth Confederate Tennessee, which had been formerly consol- idated, were all placed in one company. This was made the color company of the regiment, and John W. Childress was Captain.
There was a good deal of skirmishing after this and some heavy fighting, but no one had any heart in it. The most ignorant soldier in the army knew that the cause was lost, and every life taken was felt to be a useless sacrifice. Still the men marched and countermarched, and stood to their colors, and did all they could to stay the advance of Sherman's victorious troops. Then came the news of Lee's surrender at Appomattox, and "last scene of all that ends this strange, eventful history," the army of old Joe Johnston laid down its arms and gave up the fight at Greensboro, N. C., April 26, 1865.
Ragged and weary and heart-broken, when the men of the old Fiftieth fell into line for the last time, and stacked arms in the presence of the enemy on that dreary April morning, only these were left to answer at roll-call:
Co. A: J. L. Martin, Poston Couts, A. Black, W. J. Black, W. Trotter, R. R. Mills, J. J. Tourin.
Co. B: B. R. McCauley, C. E. McCauley, E. T. Hale.
Co. C: Eight men names unknown. This was the Alabama company.
Co. D: Matt Jones, Alfred Downs, Thomas Cook, William Wallace, George Sanders.
Co. E: John L. W. Power, W. H. Boiseau, J. H. Willoughby.
Co. F: James Somers, - Sevier.
Co. G: W. Thompson, Miles Yarbrough, John Hale.
Co. H: Thomas Broadie, Henry Atkins, James Barnes.
Co. I: None.
Co. K: J. J. McCauley, Thomas Cowley, and Rufus Knight.
The Colonel, Lieutenant-colonel, Major, Adjutant, and a host of other brave and true men, all dead-dead as the cause for which they had so long contended.

CAMP NEAR HOLLY SPRINGS, October 20, 1802.
CAPT. ELLIS, Assistant Adjutant-general : By order of Governor Harris, of Tennessee, Com - pany H, of the Fifty-third Tennessee Infantry rendezvoused at Camp Weakley, near Nash- ville, in December, 1861; but from the want of a sufficient number of men, were never sworn into the service of the Confederacy. Nevertheless, Company H participated in the organizat- tion of this regiment at Fort Donelson. For reasons best known to themselves, this company -officers and men alike-left the camp all together, without permission. From the fall of Fort Donelson to the present hour, said company remains yet to be heard from.
