Colonel Brownlow on a Picket Hunt — Sketched by Theodore R. Davis (Harper's Weekly, August 13, 1864): Another illustration on this page represents Colonel Jim Brownlow with a small party of men in Georgia costume, crossing the Chattahoochee to capture the rebel pickets. The expedition was a successful one, but it broke up the friendly communication which had been for several days established between the pickets across the river. This was before SHERMAN had crossed. The morning after the occurrence notice was given of the changed situation by a Reb yelling out across the stream: "Hello, Yank!" "What do you want, Johnny?" "Can't talk to you'uns any more!" "How is that?" "Orders to dry up!" "What for, Johnny?" "Oh! Jim Brownlow, with his d-d Tennessee Yanks, swam over upon the left last night, and stormed our rifle-pits naked—captured sixty of our boys, and made 'em swim back with him. We 'uns have got to keep you'uns on your side of the river now."
