Is. 1865. we moved out from near Fort
Blakely for long march TO the first
capital OF the confederacy, writes a
Belvidere correspondent OF the Ma

time experience.
The route taken was over the old
post line. and lay. for most part
through a lonesome and almost in
terminable pine forest. for which this
section OF Alabama was then noted
The country through which the march
was made was rich. indeed. in stately
pine trees, but still was the poorest
part of the state from the fact that
IL was only slightly cultivated in
places few and far between. very
sparsely inhabited by occasional
poor whites" and seemed but one
vast. almost unbroken pinery and soil
tude for the distance Of more than 100
miles after leaving Blakely. The
weather was hot. the roads were
rough and dusty. and many of the men
were afflicted with sore feet before
arriving at the journeys end. IL was
reported. at first. that the troops
would pass throueh Selma. Ala. and
as the regiments were toiling along

could easily read it the following no
