gs. The regiment bivouacked in the first street during the night, exposed to the fire of the enemy's sharp-shooters, who still held a considerable portion of the city. At daybreak we pushed on through the town beyond its outskirts, and did picket-duty for twenty-four hours, a portion of the time under a severe fire from the enemy's artillery in front. On the morning of the thirteenth instant, we were relieved from picket-duty, but sent almost immediately again to the front in support of Kirby's battery, in the sanguinary battle of that day. In the performance of this duty the regiment was kept under a tremendous artillery-fire until after dark — fortunately with but little loss. The coolness and good conduct of officers and men during these trying hours were beyond praise. Drawn in at length, the regiment remained for the night and the following day as a support for the line of pickets. On the night of the fourteenth instant, I was ordered by General Howard (our division c

enty-sixth, Thirtieth, and Thirty-fourth Iowa regiments, and First Iowa battery, who suffered severely. Acting-General G. A. Smith's brigade was warmly engaged, and he, also, while leading at the extreme front, had his horse shot. The Eighth Missouri, which name seems ever present where gallant actions are concerned, had been pushed into the hottest fire. Well led by Lieutenant-Colonel Coleman, who was slightly wounded, it suffered severely. Five officers were killed and disabled. Brave Kirby, its Major, had his horse shot, and was considerably bruised by the animal falling. Lieutenant Lee Morgan received a ball through the face. Capt. Jameson, wounded in arm at an early moment, refused to retire, and fearlessly led his men through the action. Lieut. B. W. Musselman, although on the sick list, joined his company and did good service. In General Morgan's corps matters went equally favorable. That leader, fearless and skilful, handled his troops well.
