The confirmation of their ranks has been fairly won at Shiloh and Prairie Grove. I present this subject specially to the department commander, with the case also of Lieut.as extended along both sides of the Cove creek road, distant 2 or 3 miles from it, from near Prairie Grove to the mountains, and scouts were thrown upon all routes leading toward the enemy's position.

After recovering from a dangerous illness at Springfield, Mo., he was sent to assist in the attack on Vicksburg. General Schofield, in a statement of his operations from May 24 to December 10, 1863, says that the capture of Vi
