30.-battle at Charlestown, Tenn.
General Thomas's report.
Chattanooga, December 28, 1863. To Major-General Halleck:
Colonel long, of the Fourth Ohio cavalry, commanding the Second division of cavalry, reports from Cahoun, Tennessee, December twenty-eighth:
The rebel General Wheeler, with one thousand two hundred or one thousand five hundred cavalry and mounted infantry, attacked Colonel Siebert, and captured a supply-train from Chattanooga, for Knoxville, about ten o'clock this morning, at Charlestown, on the south bank of the Hiawassee.
The train escort had reached the encampment at Charlestown last night, and Colonel Siebert's skirmishers hotly engaged with the enemy this morning before Colonel Long was apprised of their approach.
He immediately moved the small force for duty in his camp at the time--one hundred and fifty men — crossed to Colonel Siebert's support.
The rebels shortly after gave way, Colonel Long pursuing them closely, discovering a porti

61.-battle of Gettysburgh.
New-York, March 1, 1864.
The battle of Gettysburgh is the decisive battle of this war. It not only saved the North from invasion, but turned the tide of victory in our favor.
The opinion of Europe on the failure of the rebellion dates from this great conflict.
How essential, then, that its real history should be known!
Up to this moment no clear narrative has appeared.
The sketches of the press, the reports of Generals Halleck and Meade, and the oration of Mr. Everett give only phases of this terrible struggle, and that not very correctly.
To supply this hiatus, I send you a connected and, I hope, lucid review of its main features.
I have not ventured to touch on the thrilling incidents and affecting details of such a strife, but have confined myself to a succinct relation of its principal events and the actors therein.
My only motive is to vindicate history — do honor to tile fallen and justice to the survivors when unfairly impeached.

Battle of Olustee.
General Gillmore's report.
Headquarters D. S., Hilton head, S. C., March 7, 1864. Major-General Halleck, General-in-Chief U. S.A., Washington, D. C.:
I have the honor to submit herewith copies of certain letters and telegraphic despatches which comprise the instructions given to Brigadier-General T. Seymour, relative to operations in Florida prior to the fight at Olustee on the twentieth ultimo.
A brief narrative of events connected with the recent occupation of Florida, west of the St. John's River, will not be out of place.
Under date of the twenty-second December, 1863, I was authorized by you to undertake such operations in my department as I might deem best, suggesting conference with Admiral Dahlgren, etc.
On January fourteenth, 1864, I wrote you that, unless it would interfere with the views of the War Department, I should occupy the west bank of the St. John's River in Florida very soon, and establish small depots there, preparatory to an

Vicksburgh, February 27, via Cairo, March 10, 1864. Lieutenant-General Grant, care of Major-General Halleck:

We posted on over all obstacles, and rea
