James P. Simms—was selected for duty on the picket line of Hood's division on the 27th, Lieu. tenant-Colonel Holt, of the Tenth, having at the assault, is worthy of all praise. He led his brigade to the work, and after seeing that all was done that could be done, was the very last to retire. Col. E. Ball, of the Fifty-first Georgia, and Colonel Simms, of the Fifty-third, who was wounded in the assault; Lieut.-Col. W. C.
