Sixteen hundred of the Georgia militia started from Macon for Atlanta.
They made a fine appearance as they marched through the streets; were in the very best spirits, and appeared ready to meet the enemy in the defence of their homes. The material of this brigade is as good as that of any in the South, and we are certain they will do honor to the State when brought into action. A similar number will go down to Atlanta each day during the week from this place. There is now a large force of militia at Macon, which, when sent to the front, will prove a valuable accession to our gallant army.
His Excellency Governor Joseph E. Brown, Generals Joseph E Johnston, B, Bragg, Anderson, O
Tennessee, Wayne and Illadman, were all in Macon on Sunday.
A large number of wounded Yankees have arrived in Macon. A large number of prisoners also continue to arrive on every train.

Thanks for signing up! Welcome aboard. We are hoping that we can get people registered and in their proper slots well-ahead of the event in case we need to re-organize foraging parties. Remember that the regimental designation isn't official until there are at least twenty registered for that Foraging Party.
Just wanted to let everyone know that we should begin posting the registered page on the web site very soon to show who has signed up for the event. Registration is moving along very well right now and as always, we thank you for your interest.
Get Those Registrations In! Let's Go Raise Some Hell in Georgia Boys!
