| One Brigade of Ga. Militia
(Gen. Carswell's Brig) arrived last night from Briar Creek, and passed
through the City. They are said to number about 1,000 men. They have no
regular camping ground, and are now engaged, by order of Genl. Hill, in
removing cotton from the stores and houses of the City of Augusta. |
| Gen. Carswell will move his
command this evening to Genl. Smith's old camping ground, at Milledge
Spring. |
| The exact strength of Gen.
Carswell Brigade will only be ascertained tomorrow when the command will
be regularly encamped. |
| I am informed that more
troops, believed to belong to Genl. Cheatham's Corps, will arrive this
evening at 4 o'clock P. M. |
