Before the charge and fire of our line the enemy halted, wavepport of a battery on the contested field, somewhat to the left and about three hundred yards to the front of the position I then occupied. The absence of General Crawford from the field by reason of a slight wound, placed me at this time in command of the first division of the corps. Turning over the command of my brigade to Colonel Ruger, of the Third Wisconsin, I conducted him to the assigned position, which he held during the night of the seventeenth instant. The First brigade (Crawford's) of my division, commanded by Colonel Knipe, of the Forty-sixth Pennsylvania, was drawn up in line of battle, also supporting General Franklin's line, to the rig

The position assigned me was held until Monday, the seventh instant, when, by General Huger's order, I returned to my camp at this place, all my other batteries having previously returned.

All of which is respectfully submitted. With great respect, I have the honor to be, Your obe
able services. This gallant regiment, which has never been surpassed by any troops in the world, for gallantry, subordination, and propriety, was commanded by the heroic Captain Marsh, and, after his fall, by the equally heroic Captain Latham, who shared the same fate. All the officers of this noble regiment, present at Sharpsburg, were killed or wounded. Their names deserve to be preserved. Captains Marsh, Latham, and Osborne, Lieutenants Stansill, Colton, Allen, Parker, Brown, Weaver, Crawford, and Bonner, Sergeants John Troutman, and J. W. Shinn, Corporals J. A. Cowan, and H. H. Barnes, and private J. D. Barton, of this regiment, were greatly distinguished for their courage. Private J. B. Stinson, of same regiment, acting as courier to General Anderson, was wounded in three places at Sharpsburg, and there, as on every other battlefield, behaved most nobly.
