Circumstances have rendered II impossible for
me to write you sooner Of our movements since
leaving Memphis, and had written, there was
no opportunity Of sending letter with decent
prospect Of its getting through. For the infor-
nation Of those interested in the I'D regiment,
and those who care TO know the movements Of
Gen. Sherman's army, will detail a brief ac-
count Of its march from Memphis to College HILL
Early Wednesday morning, Nov. 26th, as
beautiful and nuspicious morning as ever day
opened WITH we were in line ready for the
"Forward, marchl' At ga. M, the 25 or more
regiments with cavalry and artillery, were all in
motion, each Of the three divisions moving by
different roads from the city, and each followed
by long train OF supply wagons. The weather
was cool and clear the roads in most excellent
condition. The men carried only so much as
was absolutely necessary, storing all surplus ar
ticles in Fort Pickering. Their clothing, DC,
consisting Of great coat, blanket, rubber, and a
change of under clothes aud shirts made quite
load enough 10 carry in the knapsack.
The first division, Gen. Denver, moved by the
Pigeon Roost or Holly Springs road. The sec
ond, Gen. Smith, moved by way Of German
town. The third, Gen. Lanman by the Herman
do road All divisions united on the second day,
on the Holly Springs road Gen. Denver, leading,
and Gen Smith in tho rear
Our division the first day moved II miles the

with the other divisions near Cold Water creek.
