General: I have the honor to transmit the reports of corps chiefs of artillery and battery commanders of the operations of the artillery arm of the service in your army during the campaign resulting in the capture of the city of Atlanta: In forwarding these reports I will bear witness to the efficiency and valuable services performed by the artillery of your army during the entire campaign. Heavy losses were inflicted upon the rebels by the accuracy of our fire, the skillful and daring positions taken by our batteries, frequently on the skirmish line, within short canister range of strongly intrenched works of the enemy. That it has been most destructive, we have not only the evidence of what we ourselves witnessed, but also that of the enemy. The chiefs of artillery of corps have shown energy, efficienc

io Vol. Light Arty., In the Field, near Atlanta, Ga., September 7, 1864. Captain: In obedience to instructions, I have the honor to submit the following as a report of the operations of this battery from the 24th day of June, 1864, to the present day: On the 25th day of June, 1864, this battery, in compliance with orders from department headquarters, commenced its march from Nashville, Tenn., to the front, arriving at Peach Tree Creek on the 21st of July, and reporting to Brigadier-General Brannan, chief of artillery, Department of the Cumberland, for orders. On July 22 battery was assigned to Fourth Army Corps, and was put in position on its front near Atlanta, and remained in position until August 25, when was ordered to withdraw from the front lines and prepare for a rapid march.

Being informed by Major-General Thomas of the distinguished duty for which my division had been designated, in company with Generals Stanley, Brannan, and Baird, I made a thorough reconnaissance of the enemy's works and selected the point of attack. The point selected was immediately in front of General Whitaker's brigade, of Stanley's division, of the Fourth Corps. The enemy's works here conforming to a projecting point in the ridge, upon which his works were built, presented a salient angle, and, in the absence of abatis, fallen timber, and other obstructions which generally confront their works, this point seemed the most assailable

During the night General Morgan L. Smith's division was marched to the point where the pontoons were, and the brigade of Giles A. Smith was selected for the delicate duty of manning the boats and surprising the enemy's pickets on the south bank of the river. During this night, also, General J. M. Brannan, chief of artillery, moved forty pieces of artillery belonging to the Army of the Cumberland, and placed them on the north side of the river so as to command the ground opposite, to aid in protecting the approach to the point where the south end of the bridge was to rest. He had to use Sherman's artillery horses for this purpose, Thomas having none. At 2 o'clock in the morning, November 24th, Giles A.

That very evening the order for Thomas to move was countermanded, and no further effort to aid Burnside was attempted till the Army of the Tennessee had joined the army at Chattanooga. On the 8th of November, at 11 A. M., Mr. Dana sent to the Secretary of War the following dispatch: Reconnoissance of Citico Creek and head of Missionary Ridge made yesterday by Thomas, Smith, and Brannan from the heights opposite on the north of the Tennessee proved Smith's plan for attack impracticable. The creek and country are wrongly laid down on our maps, and no operation for the seizure of Missionary Ridge can be undertaken with the force which Thomas can now command for the purpose. That force cannot by any effort be made to exceed eighteen thousand men. General Grant in his official report says: Directions were given for a movement against Missionary Ridge, with a view to
