Atlanta had been taken but a few days ago,&nbsp;and here was the nearest and most suitable place for&nbsp;a depository of supplies, &amp;c. The enemy, having&nbsp;recovered from his whipping at Jonesboro, gathered&nbsp;his scattered forces and had retreated towards Macon,&nbsp;there to await, what our next move would be. The&nbsp;enemy&#8217;s cavalry was principally in our rear, tearing&nbsp;up railways, burning bridges and trains, laden with&nbsp;supplies for our army, and tried their best generally&nbsp;to cut off our communication with the North, hoping&nbsp;thereby to compel us to evacuate Atlanta. The&nbsp;report came in today that the rebel cavalry were&nbsp;between here and Marietta, and the report must have&nbsp;been true, as no trains arrived as usual.

Several trains arrived and the commissary&nbsp;stores here were moved to Atlanta. The track of the&nbsp;Louisville-Nashville Railroad had been destroyed by&nbsp;Wheeler&#8217;s cavalry on several places, and we had not&nbsp;received any letters for some time. We also received&nbsp;the news that the guerrilla chief John Moroan had&nbsp;been taken prisoner by a private of the 13th Tennessee cavalry in Kentucky, and shot. The weather was&nbsp;very hot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sept 11<\/strong> We received new clothes and looked&nbsp;like respectable men again, and not like ragged beggars. The weather was windy and warm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sept. 12<\/strong> An address from the President and&nbsp;Lieut. Gen. Grant was read to us, thanking the&nbsp;army under Sherman for the deeds of valor done&nbsp;during the campaign. In honor of the capture of&nbsp;Atlanta and the troops that captured it, 100 minute&nbsp;guns were fired in all the Northern cities and from&nbsp;all the forts by order of the President. An order&nbsp;was issued that each flag of the army having participated in the capture of Atlanta, should have the&nbsp;inscription, &#8220;Atlanta,&#8221; affixed on it. The weather&nbsp;was very warm today.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1339\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1339\" style=\"width: 533px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/confedratelines.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1339\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/2012\/03\/diary-of-a-union-soldier-in-georgia-the-fall-of-atlanta-part-ii\/confedratelines\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/confedratelines.jpg?fit=533%2C395&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"533,395\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"confedratelines\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Confederate Lines&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/confedratelines.jpg?fit=525%2C389&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1339\" title=\"confedratelines\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/confedratelines.jpg?resize=525%2C389\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"389\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/confedratelines.jpg?w=533&amp;ssl=1 533w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/confedratelines.jpg?resize=500%2C370&amp;ssl=1 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1339\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Confederate Lines<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;Sept 13<\/strong> Guerrillas were doing mischief in our&nbsp;neighborhood and persons were frequently attacked&nbsp;and robbed on the road from here to Atlanta.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sept. 16<\/strong> The hour for marching was fixed at 6 a. m. We assembled punctually and marched to the&nbsp;North side of the Chattahoochee, where the brigade&nbsp;was assembling, crossed the river then, and at 7&nbsp;o&#8217;clock we passed over a part of the battlefield of the&nbsp;20th of July. About 8 o&#8217;clock we reached our former entrenchments in front of Atlanta, passed the&nbsp;graves of the fallen dear comrades, that were &#8220;sleeping the sleep that knows no waking,&#8221; and many of&nbsp;us could not resist the silent tear at the thought of&nbsp;the many pleasant hours, privations and sufferings,&nbsp;enjoyed and endured in company with the fallen&nbsp;heroes, now slumbering beneath the silent sod!&nbsp;They had fallen in defense of our glorious country\u2014&nbsp;peace to their ashes, and may the memory of those days&nbsp;fill us with new love of our Republic and its glorious&nbsp;freemen! We halted and remained for some time,&nbsp;although under quite different circumstances as formerly, when we were in continual danger of the enemy&#8217;s shells, balls and bullets, and nothing was heard&nbsp;but the roar of artillery and the rattle of musketry.&nbsp;A solemn silence reigned today, not disturbed by the&nbsp;howl of shells, the moans of the wounded, nor the&nbsp;last yells of the dying! The thoughts of our men&nbsp;there now, I do not dare to describe, or even suppose! We continued our march and at 10 o&#8217;clock&nbsp;we reached the ruined city with its (formerly) inimical fortifications, passed straight through the city and&nbsp;went in camp about 1 mile further South. The day&nbsp;was excessively hot and the roads covered with dust&nbsp;several inches deep. After we had been dismissed, a&nbsp;number of our men went to the enemy&#8217;s former works&nbsp;on the South side of the city. They were very strong&nbsp;and in their erection every modern invention in the&nbsp;art of war had been added\u2014but all of no avail\u2014the&nbsp;doom of rebellion had been sealed!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sept. 18<\/strong> A more suitable camping ground was&nbsp;selected today and cleared of the dirt and brash&nbsp;piled there. Received the first mail again for some&nbsp;time. During the night a heavy rain commenced. Beautiful and valuable deserted frame houses in the&nbsp;neighborhood, that had been riddled by bullets and&nbsp;balls, were torn down and doors, lumber and even&nbsp;shingles taken and used in erecting tenements in&nbsp;camp, in order to be as comfortable as possible while&nbsp;we remained here. The timber was carried from a&nbsp;distance of sometimes more than half a mile, as the&nbsp;houses in our immediate neighborhood had been&nbsp;&#8220;appropriated&#8221; by troops before our arrival. But we&nbsp;were satisfied with what we received and in case of&nbsp;necessity were willing to do our share in burning&nbsp;down what we had so laboriously erected.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1340\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1340\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/atlantaaftercapture.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1340\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/2012\/03\/diary-of-a-union-soldier-in-georgia-the-fall-of-atlanta-part-ii\/atlantaaftercapture\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/atlantaaftercapture.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"300,300\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"atlantaaftercapture\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Atlanta after capture&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/atlantaaftercapture.jpg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1340\" title=\"atlantaaftercapture\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/atlantaaftercapture.jpg?resize=300%2C300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/atlantaaftercapture.jpg?w=300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/atlantaaftercapture.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1340\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Atlanta after capture<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Sept. 20<\/strong> Several of our men who had left camp&nbsp;had gone to the city, and had commenced demolishing houses there, were arrested by the provost guard.&nbsp;A heavy rain commenced at sunset, and lasted the&nbsp;whole night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&nbsp;Sept. 26<\/strong> The parade announced for the 22d took&nbsp;place today.

Thence the division moved with music to the parade ground, northwest from the city, where we arrived at 1 o&#8217;clock&nbsp;p.m. The parade was before Gen. Slocum, the first&nbsp;one held before him. Gen. Slocum was well satisfied with our movements, although they were not as&nbsp;they would have been on even ground; the ground&nbsp;was very uneven and stony, and not in the least&nbsp;suitable for a parade ground.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1341\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1341\" style=\"width: 485px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/rebdestroyedtrain.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1341\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/2012\/03\/diary-of-a-union-soldier-in-georgia-the-fall-of-atlanta-part-ii\/rebdestroyedtrain\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/rebdestroyedtrain.gif?fit=485%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"485,600\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"rebdestroyedtrain\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Train destroyed by rebels&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/rebdestroyedtrain.gif?fit=485%2C600&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1341\" title=\"rebdestroyedtrain\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/susannaives.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/rebdestroyedtrain.gif?resize=485%2C600\" alt=\"\" width=\"485\" height=\"600\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1341\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Train destroyed by rebels<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These entries detail the remaining time that the one hundred and twenty-ninth regiment spent in war-shattered Atlanta.
