rrows and bullets, his favorite horse lying dead near him. He was buried in the trenches with the honors due his rank, and every heart beat in sympathy with the family of this brave stranger, as we retraced our steps toward the boundary of our own State. I take pleasure in mentioning the services of Surgeon and Acting Medical Director Wharton, of Assistant Surgeons Daniels and Potter, for duties performed wherever they were needed, in and out of the regiment, also to Lieutenants Carver and Snow for assistance fearlessly rendered in the field. Lieutenant-Colonel Averill and Major McLaren have proven themselves worthy of the regiment. For the officers of the line and men I proudly say that they did all that they were ordered to do with an alacrity and a spirit which promise well for the future. I made the distance from Fort Snelling to the Missouri by our line of march, five hundred and eighty-five miles. I have the honor to remain, Captain, Very respectfully, Your obe

is a rifled 24-pounder siege gun, which sweeps the Monterey road. This also is manned by Captain Jones' company. The next gun is a smooth 24-pounder siege piece, which bears upon the Monterey road and the cleared ground in front of the works. This is manned by Captain Jones' company. Next and last is a smooth 12-pounder siege piece, planted just to the left of the Monterey road. This piece is manned by a detachment from Captain Ketchum's battery of light artillery, under command of Lieutenant Snow. I have for the two rifled brass 6-pounders 200 rounds of ammunition each and about 75 rounds for each of the other guns, with the exception of the brass 12-pounder rifled, for which I have only 20 rounds, there being only that number of Reed shells in the ordnance department. In case of necessity, however, I shall use canister with this piece. I remain, very respectfully, your obedient servant, R. H. Smith Thompson, First Lieutenant Artillery, Commanding Heavy Battery.

d and 15 wounded, according to the official report of Lieutenant Milton, who brought the battery off the field. General Hunt, Chief of Artillery, in an article in the Century Magazine, states that Bigelow lost 80 horses killed or wounded, out of 88 horses. Lieutenant Sears states in a newspaper article that the Eleventh Ohio Battery lost, at Iuka, 42 horses killed upon the field, and (a coincidence) 42 so disabled from wounds that they had to be turned over, unfit for service. Lieutenant Snow, First Maine Battery, in his official report for Cedar Creek, states that he lost 49 horses killed il harness. The maximum losses of horses killed in any one action seems to have been reached in these instances; A tabulated report of artillery losses at Stone's River (official), mentions some large figures; but as in each case, the battery was captured and held by the enemy, it would appear that the captured horses had been erroneously included in the column with the killed. at le

Doc. 24.-interview with loyal Indians. Leavenworth, Kansas, February 2. The importance of the interview between Commissioner Dole and the Chiefs of the Seminoles, Creeks, Iowas, and Delawares, loyal Indians, at the Planters' House yesterday, can hardly be over-estimated. There were present Col. Wm. G. Coffin, Superintendent of the Southern Indians; Major G. A. Cutler, Agent of the Creeks; Major W. F. M. Arny, Agent of Indians in New-Mexico ; Major Snow, Agent of the Seminoles ; Major Fielding Johnson, agent of the Delawares; and Major Robert Burbank, Agent of the Iowas. The Indians expressed great pleasure in seeing Commissioner Dole. The Southern Indians said their people had been driven from home and were suffering. Mr. Dole.--Government did not expect the Indians to enter this contest at all. Now that the rebel portion of them have entered the field, the Great Father will march his troops into your country. Col. Coffin and the Agents will go with you on Monday, a

French, company K, Fourteenth Maine, who was wounded while leading on his men to one of the finest charges of the battle. It is sorrowful, indeed, to add, that by the accident to the steamer Whitman he was drowned. Second Sergeant J. N. Seavy, company C; Corp.

he time the rebels left the woods until the artillerymen were forced from their pieces. As the rebels were in mass, the execution such a shower of missiles caused can be easily imagined. The two senior officers of the battery were wounded, Lieutenant Snow mortally, he having since died. The forces that made this charge were commanded by the rebel General Mouton, who fell shot through the body with four balls. The fighting on all parts of our line was now at short-range, and to use the eld. The order came too late. Not horses enough were left alive to haul the pieces from the field. The cannoneers lay thick about the guns, and dead and wounded rebels in windrows before them. Two of the guns were dragged off by hand, and Lieutenant Snow was shot down while spiking a third. Four of the guns of this battery could not be got off, and fell into the hands of the enemy. In the mean time our right was fiercely engaged, and our centre was being pressed back, and finally the righ

he fourth of January, when my command was moved to Wilkinson's cross-roads. On the fifth my command proceeded under command of General Stanley, to engage the enemy's rear-guard, on the Manchester pike, driving them some two or three miles. Private Snow, of L company, orderly to Gen. Rosecrans, was ordered, on the second of January, to pick up fifteen stragglers, which he did, and was then ordered to take them to the front and turn them over to some commissioned officer. Failing to find one, he put them into line, and fought them himself, telling them the first one who attempted to run, he would shoot. Private Snow reports they fought bravely. Inclosed I give a list of killed and wounded during the entire engagement. Twelve men were taken prisoners while doing courier duty. Lieut. Rendelbrook was exceedingly vigilant guarding the train, and of great service in sending forward supplies. I am, Sir, very respectfully, your ob't serv't, Elmer Otis, Captain Commanding Fourth U

hazardous, but successful expedition. On Thursday, May twenty-first, at daybreak, Colonel T. E. Chickering, of the Forty-first Massachusetts cavalry, (extemporized for this particular service,) the Fifty-second Massachusetts, One Hundred and Tenth, One Hundred and Four-teenth, One Hundred and Twenty-fifth, and Ninetieth New-York, with one company each of the Thirteenth Connecticut, Twenty-second and Twenty-sixth Maine, and one section of Nim's Massachusetts battery, under command of Lieutenant Snow, the whole division under the immediate command of Colonel Chickering, proceeded, with three hundred army wagons, from Berrie's Landing, laden with cotton, sugar, molasses, and other valuable products, toward Berwick City. The ponderous train once in motion, soon began to wind itself along the easterly bank of the Teche, the white canvas covering to the wagons giving the train, at a distance, when viewed from a slight elevation, the appearance of a monster white boaconstrictor, which c

from four letters written by officers of Lane's brigade, and addressed to their former commander, two of these officers were of the Thirty-third and two of the Thirty-seventh North Carolina regiment. These officers were in Gregg during the fight. The General disposed of their statements very briefly, indulged freely in humor, wit and ridicule — a method practiced by himself, possibly, as a lawyer when seeking to weaken testimony, facts and logic being against him. One of the officers, Lieutenant Snow, Thirty-third North Carolina regiment, says, After ammunition was exhausted they used rocks, and for over half an hour. This rock story shows what weight this testimony is entitled to, &c., &c., says the General; the italics are his. He may not be aware of the fact, but this was not the first or only time that rocks were used in battle during the war. If he will read the official report of the battle of Second Bull Run, he will see that General A. P. Hill mentions the fact that one of
