FOURTH TENNESSEE CAVALRY. BY GEO. B. GUILD, NASHVILLE, TENN.
THE troops of this command did not assume a regimental form till just before the battle of Murfreesboro, in 1862. It was made up of different detachments which had been in the service from the beginning of the war. The following were its officers: Baxter Smith, Colonel; Paul F. Anderson, Lieutenant-colonel; W. Scott Bledsoe, Major; J. A. Minnis, Adjutant, who was captured in May, after the organization, and Geo. B. Guild was appointed and served in that capacity till the surrender in 1865; Marcellus Grissom, Captain and Assistant Quartermaster; Wm. Bone, Captain and Assistant Commissary; W. T. Delaney, Surgeon; W. T. Allen, Assistant Surgeon; W. A. Rushing, Sergeant-major; J. A. Stewart, Jas. Nance, Buglers. Co. A, Capt. David W. Alexander; Co. B, Capt. C. H. Ingles; Co. C, Capt. Geo. Moore; Co. D, Lieut. Robt. Bone; Co. E, Capt. H. E. Wyly; Co. F, Capt. Jas. R. Lester; Co. G, Capt. J. W. Nichol; Co. H, Capt. Samuel H. Glover; Co. I, Capt. Robt. Bledsoe; Co. K, Capt. James H. Britton; Co. L, Capt. J. J. Parton.
Recruited as follows: Co. A in Marshall county; Cos. B and L in Sevier an !! Knox counties; Co. C in Smith county; Cos. D, F, and K in Wilson and De Kalb counties; Co. G in Rutherford and Cannon counties; Co. E in Cannon county; Co. H in Hamilton county and North Alabama; and Co. I in Fentress county.
The regiment was brigaded with the Eighth and Eleventh Texas and Second Georgia. Afterward the Second Georgia was transferred, and the First Kentucky for awhile, and at the surrender, and for some time previons, the Third Arkansas composed the brigade. Col. Thomas Harrison, of the Eighth Texas, commanded the brigade; Maj .- gen. Jolin A. Wharton, division commander; Gen. Jos. Wheeler, corps commander. Co. K was detached the greater part of the war, serving as an escort to the commanding General.

MILITARY ANNALS OF TENNESSEE.
The regiment served with the Army of Tennessee throughout the war, and par- ticipated in all the marches and battles in which that army was engaged, and sur- rendered with it at Charlotte, N. C., in May, 1865. The regiment, however, did not accompany Gen. Hood into Tennessee in 1864, from the fact that just before the fall of Atlanta the enemy's cavalry, under Gens. MeCook and Stoneman, had made a raid to our rear, and after returning from the complete destruction of these commands the regiment went with Gen. Wheeler on a raid into Middle Tennes- see. On its return Hood had marched into Tennessee, and the regiment was or- dered, with other cavalry, to watch Sherman, who was still at Atlanta, and after- ward marched to Savannah, Ga., during which time they were engaged in daily skirmishing and fighting. During this, march the regiment participated in two heavy engagements at Griswoldsville and Buck Head Church, losing many valu- able men though punishing the enemy severely.
The regiment was in Savannah when Sherman, with his army, appeared before the city. With other troops it assisted in disputing the entrance to the city for some days. The forts below the city having been captured by the enemy's naval forces, it necessitated an evacuation of the place. We retired into South Caro- lina, participating in the battles of Fayetteville and Averyboro, and again came up with what was left of the Army of Tennessee at Bentonville, N. C., the last general engagement of that army. In this engagement the regiment acted a con- spicuous part, performing service as worthy of honorable mention as any enacted during the war. The enemy, with an infantry force, was about capturing a bridge, the only egress of the army. At an opportune moment, with Gen. Hardee at the head of the column, composed of the Fourth Tennessee and Eighth Texas, a charge was made and the enemy driven back, saving the bridge and army. In this charge Gen. Hardee's son, who had joined the command that day, was killed, with many other valuable officers and men.
After the battle of Bentonville the army retreated through Raleigh, N. C., our regiment acting as rear-guard. At Chapel Hill, N. C., while engaged in a skir- mish with the enemy, it was apprised for the first time of the pending armistice between Gens. Sherman and Jolinston. The last hostile gun in that army was fired by this regiment.
It is proper to state that there were two Confederate regiments known as the Fourth Tennessee Cavalry-Starnes's old regiment (Col. McLemore) and Smith's Fourth (Col. Baxter Smith). This regiment was enrolled at Richmond as the Eiglrth, but had assumed the name of the Fourth before it was known that Starnes claimed that number, serving as they were in different departments. Dibrell's regiment had claimed the name of Eighth. Having made an enviable reputation . under that name, it was retained. All three of these regiments stood high as sol- diers with every commanding General under whom they served, and neither was ever apprehensive that its character would suffer by the conduct of the other or by this intermingling of names.
It is not expected to give a succinct history of the different marches and battles in which this regiment was engaged, the privations of their soldier-life, the abso- lute suffering at times for every necessary of life, the exposure to a summer sun and heat and to the frosts and snow of winter during their long and toilsome marches, nor the long, dark night of captivity of many of them in Northern pris- ons. The history of every civilized war pales into insignificance before it. No

REGIMENTAL HISTORIES AND MEMORIAL ROLLS.
cavalry regiment stood higher with the General in command, and none made a more brilliant record. It participated in nearly every great battle from Shiloh to Bentonville. Its dead sleep on every field where the army fought, and many among its survivors are maimed and wounded. On its battle-flag can be inscribed Shiloh, Perryville, Murfreesboro, Chickamauga, Dalton, Tunnel Hill, Resaca, New Hope Church, Marietta, Atlanta, Newnan, Griswoldsville, Buck Head Church, Saltville (Va.), Fayetteville (N. C.), Bentonville, and a hundred other engage- ments of less iniportance.
At Chickamauga the regiment went into the fight eight hundred strong. At the date of the surrender at Charlotte, N. C., they numbered nearly three hun- dred. The roster was as follows: Baxter Smith, Colonel commanding the brigade; Geo. B. Guild, Captain and Assistant Adjutant-general; Jas. R. Lester, Captain and Assistant Inspector-general; P. F. Anderson, Lieutenant-colonel commanding the regiment; W. Scott Bledsoe, Major; John Price, Assistant Quartermaster; Lieut. Crozier, Acting Adjutant; R. McClain, Acting Assistant Quartermaster; Wm. McClain, Assistant Commissary; W. T. Delaney, Surgeon; Wm. Allen, As- sistant Surgeon; W. W. Hendricks, Chaplain; W. A. Rushing, Sergeant-major; Jas. Nance, Bugler. Co. A, Lieut. Rice McClain commanding; Co. B, Capt. C. H. Ingles; Co. C, Capt. Geo. Moore; Co. D, Lieut. R. Bone; Co. E, Capt. H. E. Wyly; Co. F, Lieut. W. H. Phillips; Co. G, Capt. J. W. Nichol; Cos. H and L (consolidated), Lieut. Hight; Co. I, Lieut. John Story; Co. K, Capt. J. H. Brit- ton.
Many gallant officers and men were killed or disabled in battle, and we regret that we have not the memoranda from which to make an honorable mention of all of them. It would be invidious to name some and leave out others equally as meritorious. As will be seen, the companies were recruited in different sections of the State. Many of the survivors have since died, others have scattered to dif- ferent States, and it has been an impossibility to get the necessary reports upon which to base an accurate statement. This is to be regretted. In fact, there seems to be a culpable indifference on the part of the Confederate soldier to do any thing to preserve to posterity the glory he so nobly won. Many of them sleep in their blankets in distant and unmarked graves; and when memory at times reverts to the gory fields where they lost their lives, we can but exclaim
Ah, realm of tombs! but let it bear This blazon to the last of time: No nation rose so white and fair Or fell so pure of crime.
