. 66. report of Col. Henry K. McConnell, Seventy-first Ohio Infantry, of operations August 9-September 8. Hdqrs. Seventy-First Regt. Ohio Vet. Vol. Infty., Atlanta, Ga., September 10, 1864. I have the honor to submit the following report of the Seventy-first Regiment Ohio Veteran Volunteer Infantry in the expedition to the rear of Atlanta: It seems necessary for me in the beginning to state that Special Field Orders, No. 218, dated headquarters Department of the Cumberland, August 9, 1864, transferring the regiment from the Fourth Division, Twentieth Army Corps, to the Second Brigade, Third Division, Fourth Army Corps, were received on the 14th day of August, 1864, at regimental headquarters at Decherd, Tenn. Owing to directions from Major-General Rousseau, the regiment was not allowed to move until the 23d. We were again detained, by orders from Major-General Steedman, at Dalton, Ga., from the 24th to the 28th. On the evening of the last-named day we arrived at Vining'

support of this movement. General Morgan pushed the reconnaissance with vigor, and reached the railroad, as desired. After destroying a small portion of the track, and reporting to me his success, I ordered the troops to return to their respective camps. During the 21st and and 22d the location of the troops remained without change. On the 22d I turned over the command of the division to Brigadier-General Morgan, and, in compliance with Special Orders, No. 241, War Department, dated August 9, 1864, assumed command of the Fourteenth Army Corps, relieving Brig. Gen. R. W. Johnson. This ends my connection with the division as its immediate commander, but before closing this report, and taking leave of the troops, with whom I have so long been associated amid the scenes of active operations unparalleled in the history of war, I feel it my duty, as it is my greatest pleasure, to record a few words expressive of my high appreciation of the zeal, endurance, and courage exhibited by t

ht-house at Fort Morgan. Stronger Fort Morgan, on Mobile Point, still held out. It was in charge of General Richard L. Page, a Virginian. Being on the main land, he had hopes of receiving re-enforcements. He had signaled to Anderson to Hold on, and when that officer surrendered Fort Gaines, Page cried out Coward! and the entire Confederacy echoed the slander. Page's turn for a similar trial came, and he met it with less honor than did Anderson. Granger's troops were transferred August 9, 1864. from Dauphin Island to the rear of Fort Morgan, and there lines of investment were constructed across the narrow sand-spit. When every thing was in readiness, the fleet and these batteries Farragut had landed four 9-inch guns, and placed them in battery, under the command of Lieutenant H. B. Tyson, of the Hartford. opened fire upon the fort at daylight, August 22. and bombarded it furiously about twenty-four hours. The main work was not much injured; but the sturdy light-house, sta

brigade, itself, before joining the Fifth Corps, had served in the Eighth, and also in the First Corps. The 6th Maryland had also served in this brigade for a few months. The principal losses of the Maryland Brigade occurred while on Grant's Virginia campaigns of 1864-65, during which it particularly distinguished itself, taking an active part in all the battles of the Fifth Corps. Colonel Dushane (1st Md.), the commander of the brigade, was killed at the battle of the Weldon Railroad, August 9, 1864. Different regiments bearing the same number appear in the Maryland line, owing to the 1st and 2d Maryland Eastern Shore; and the 1st, 2d, and 3d Maryland, Potomac Home Brigade. The designation of the 1st Maryland, Potomac Home Brigade (Infantry), was changed to 13th Maryland Infantry, April 8, 1865. There was a cavalry regiment, also, known as the 1st Maryland, Potomac Home Brigade. The 1st Maryland Infantry, Potomac Home Brigade, was attached to the Twelfth Corps in 1863, and was

ot want to go, but they have the pride of native-born Americans, and they fight like devils. The very men that desert the next day will fight the day before, for sake of avoiding shame. I have written quite a disquisition, but the topic is an important one, and I have the honor, in conclusion, to suggest to the honorable City of Boston that, when the Germans arrive, they should be let out as gardeners, and the poor remnants of the old regiments should be allowed to fight it out alone. August 9, 1864 In the forenoon, as we were sitting in camp, we heard a noise, like a quick, distant clap of thunder, but sharper. We concluded it must be an explosion, from the sound, and in a few minutes came a telegraph from Grant, at City Point, saying that an ordnance barge had blown up, with considerable loss of life. I think the number of killed will not exceed thirty-five; and,of the wounded, perhaps eighty; at first they thought there were many more. The greater part of the injured were n

This relief was completed by 11 o'clock. Horace Greeley says, The American Conflict, p. 585. after stating the fact of the attack by Smith, and his success: Fatalities multiplied. Hancock, with two divisions forming the van of the Army of the Potomac, came up just after nightfall, and, waiving his seniority, tendered his force to Smith to put part of it into the captured works relieving his own troops, but made no further use of it. Smith in his official report, Dated August 9, 1864. says :-- . . . We had thus broken through the strong line of rebel works, but heavy darkness was upon us, This must have been at about quarter of eight o'clock, for the reason that Smith in his report of the 16th of June, states that he made his attack at seven, and that in about twenty minutes the works at Jordan's House and on its left were carried by the divisions of Generals Brooks and Hinks; that he then ordered the colored troops to carry some heavy profile works in the rear
