INFANTRY. insolent attempt to invade the glorious State of South Car- olina." Here the Third skirmished through Roberts ville, suffering a loss of three men wounded. By February 1st the several columns were well under way, on various roads leading north. Captain Haskins was detailed with a party of active men from the regiment to secure mounts for themselves and forage for the regiment. At first their mount was an amusing menagerie of mules and rack-a- bone horses; but soon they had "swapped" u...ntil they were a fine body of horsemen. A detail from the Second Massa- chusetts joined with them and together they were good for any squadron of the enemy's cavalry; and, as the old housewives say, they were "good providers." The march went on, generally ten miles a day. Much of the road had to be " corduroyed;" and the stroke of axes, the splash- ing of logs were constant sounds at the head of a column. Mud, mud, mud! Through the slimy swamps of the Coosaw- hatchie, the home of the alligator and the water snake, the troops and the great trains pushed their way.
