ave the deep sympathy of the community. May 5, 1864. Our army on the Rapidan is in line of battle. Grant is moving his mighty columns. Where the battle will take place Heaven only knows. I pray that God may be with us, and that the enemy may be driven far from our borders. We are now attending the prayer-meetings held by the Young Men's Christian Association, which are very interesting; three of them will be held this week for our dear army, and for the battle now pending. May 6, 1864, 1864. The Federals are this morning ascending James River, with a fleet of thirty-nine vessels-four monitors among them. The battle between Lee and Grant imminent. God help us! We feel strengthened by the prayers of so many good people. All the city seems quiet and trusting. We feel that the Lord will keep the city. We were at our own prayer-meeting at St. James's this morning at half-past 6. Yesterday evening we heard most fervent prayers from the Young Men's Christian Associat

No. 29. report of Lieut. Col. Orrin D. Ihurd, Thirtieth Indiana Infantry. Hdqrs. Thirtieth Regt. Indiana Volunteers, Near Atlanta, Ga., September 13, 1864. Sir: In compliance with communication received, I have the honor to make the following report of the part taken by my regiment in the recent campaign: I joined the regiment with the veterans returning from furlough on the 6th day of May, 1864, near Tunnel Hill, Ga., which I believe was the commencement of the campaign. On the morning of the 7th of May my regiment moved with brigade in a southern direction a distance of four miles, our advance skirmishing continually with the enemy, and driving him to a position near Tunnel Station, where we formed in order of battle and bivouacked for the night, nothing of importance transpiring in which I had part. Next morning, the 8th of May, I was ordered to take position different from that which I held during the night, and in the general line. The line being formed, my regi

No. 171. report of Capt. Otho H. Morgan, Seventh Indiana Battery. headquarters Seventh Indiana Battery, Jonesborough, Ga., September 6, 1864. Major: I have the honor to transmit you the following report of the operations of the Seventh Indiana Battery in this campaign: At 8 o'clock on the morning of May 6, 1864, the battery moved out from Ringgold, Ga., with the Third Division, Fourteenth Army Corps, on the Dalton road, and early in the afternoon camped near Tunnel Hill. From the 7th to 12th nothing of note occurred except a few changes of camp. May 12, moved to the right, and passing through Snake Creek Gap, camped after a march of twenty miles. May 14, in obedience to your orders, four guns were placed on the line in front of the regular brigade, First Division, Fourteenth Army Corps. Two guns had an enfilading fire on the enemy, to the left, and one section aided in silencing two guns in front. Lieutenant Pound and section was sent per order of Captain Estep, div

ded at the onset of the campaign. The responsibility for the safety of our trains and of the left flank of the army still continued, however, so I made such dispositions of my troops as to secure these objects by holding the line of the Brock road beyond the Furnaces, and thence around to Todd's Tavern and Piney Branch Church. On the 6th, through some false information, General Meade became alarmed about his left flank, and sent me the following note: headquarters Army of the Potomac, May 6, 1864-1 o'clock P. M. Major-General Sheridan, Commanding Cavalry Corps: Your despatch of 11.45 A. M. received. General Hancock has been heavily pressed, and his left turned. The major-general commanding thinks that you had better draw in your cavalry, so as to secure the protection of the trains. The order requiring an escort for the wagons to-night has been rescinded.

ittle if at all impaired by the terrible strain that had been put upon them. Had General Lee so ordered, they would have attacked the Federal army, after the battle of Cold Harbor, with the same courage, though perhaps more quiet, that they had displayed on entering the campaign thirty days before. The Army of Northern Virginia was so well seasoned and tempered that, like the famous Toledo blade, it could be bent back and doubled upon itself, and then spring again into perfect shape. It may justly be said of both armies that in this terrible thirty days struggle their courage and endurance was superb. Both met foemen worthy of their steel, and battles were fought such as could only have occurred between men of kindred race, and nowhere else than in America. A Rabbit in a Confederate camp.

is unfortunate order, General Wadsworth, in order to stop the enemy's attack upon Birney upon his left, went to the 20th Massachusetts of my brigade and ordered that regiment to leave its log-works and charge the enemy's line, a strong breastwork on the west side of a ravine on Wadsworth's front. General Wadsworth was told that the regiment could not safely be moved, that I had changed my front on that regiment and held the line by Brigadier-General James S.

He was mortally wounded, General Wadsworth and myself had been discussing why I did not have certain men carried off the field who had been shot in the head. I told him that from my observation I had never considered it worth while to carry a man off the field if, wounded in the head, he slowly lost his vertical position and wa

road. Each line had been extended so as to form a Battle of the Wilderness. connection, and Longstreet was ready to take his prescribed position on Hill's left. So stood the two great and veteran armies in the morning twilight on the 6th of May, 1864, ready for a struggle that must be necessarily almost hand to hand, in a country in which maneuvering, in the military sense, was almost impossible, and where, by the compass alone, like mariners at murky midnight, the movements of troops wess. During that interval Anderson came up and checked Hill's confused retreat, and at the same time the van of Longstreet's column, which had been marching to flank Hancock, appeared in front. It was now about nine o'clock in the morning. May 6, 1864. Hancock re-formed his somewhat broken line, which had been re-enforced by Stevenson's division of Burnside's corps in addition to that of Wadsworth, and resumed his advance, when he found his way blocked by an unexpectedly large and determine

int in controversy, and which I shall consider at present, is this statement made in my official report: On the 6th of May, 1864, the Army lay at and near Dalton, awaiting the advance of the enemy. Never had so large a Confederate Army been asshe force at and near Dalton, or as I expressed it in my official report, In the easy direction of a single commander, May 6th, 1864. It must be admitted that in order to estimate the loss of an Army during any campaign, siege, or battle, it is necern now in the possession of Major General Wheeler, a copy of which this officer furnished me on the 2d May, 1874: May 6th, 1864.

look at its history during the three months which preceded the day on which I was ordered to its command. To do this, it is necessary either to state in this report all the facts which illustrate the entire operations of the Army of Tennessee in the recent campaign, or to write a supplemental or accompanying report. I deem the former more appropriate, and will therefore submit in a single paper all the information which seems to me should be communicated to the Government. On the 6th of May, 1864, the Army lay at and near Dalton awaiting the advance of the enemy. Never had so large a Confederate Army assembled in the West. Seventy thousand (70,000) effective men were in the easy direction of a single commander, whose good fortune it was to be able to give successful battle, and redeem the losses of the past. Extraordinary efforts had been used to secure easy victory. The South had been denuded of troops to fill the strength of the Army of Tennessee. Mississippi and Alabama
