To the officers of my staff I am indebted for constant aid during the entire period.

General Pendleton, Chief of Artillery; Lieutenant-Colonel Corley, Chief Quartermaster; Lieutenant-Colonel Cole, Chief Commissary; Lieutenan of supplying the demands upon each. They were always in the field, anticipating, as far as possible, the wants of the troops. My personal staff were unremittingly engaged in conveying and bringing information from all parts of the field. Colonel Long was particularly useful before and during the battle, in posting and securing the artillery, in which he was untiringly aided by Captain S. R. Johnson, of the Provisional Engineers; Majors Talcott and Venable, in examining the ground and the a
Captain Hall and Lieutenants McKim and Lee, for the promptness and coolness displayed in conveying orders. I would also call the attention of the Major-General to the services performed on this occasion and previously, by Captain Brown, of company A, Sixteenth Mississippi, who, with portions of his company, has within the last few weeks, killed twelve of the enemy, captured sixty-four with their arms, and some twenty-five horses with their equipments; and to the conspicious gallantry of private Long, of company B, Twenty-first Georgia, who while acting as skirmisher on the eighth instant, brought in ten prisoners, five (5) with their arms, captured at one time, and shot an officer of General Fremont's staff, obtaining from him the enemy's order of march herewith inclosed, from which it appears they had on the field seven brigades of infantry, besides cavalry and artillery. It is but an act of simple justice to the brave men of my command to say that this battle was fought by their

d Corporals Whitaker and Salmond, were distinguished in the active and fearless performance of their arduous duties. I am indebted to Colonel R. H. Chilton, Colonel Long, Majors Taylor, Marshall, Venable, and Talcott, and Captains Mason and Johnson, of the staff of the commanding General, for great courtesy and kindness in assimorning of the sixteenth. By direction of the commanding General, I advanced on the enemy, leaving Sharpsburg to the right, and took position to the left of General Long street, near a Dunkard Church, Ewell's division (General Lawton commanding) forming the right, and Jackson's division (General J. R. Jones commanding) forming range, and the reply of General Toombs's batteries, about a half mile to my left. Soon after nine o'clock A. M., I received orders from General Lee, through Colonel Long, of his staff, to hasten to the extreme left, to the support of Major-General Jackson. Hastening forward as rapidly as possible along the rear of our entire l
