CHAPTER XXII.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALABAMIANS AND GEORGIANS--DEATH OF "POLL PARROTT" -- A GOOD JOKE UPON THE GUARD--A BRUTAL RASCAL.
There were two regiments guarding us--the Twenty-Sixth Alabama and the Fifty-Fifth Georgia.

Never were two regiments of the same army more different.

The Alabamians were the superiors of the Georgians in every way that one set of men could be superior to another.

They were manly, soldierly, and honorable, where the Georgians were treacherous and brutal.

We had nothing to complain of at the hands of the Alabamians; we suffered from the Georgians everything that mean-spirited cruelty could devise.
