charging and routing the pursuing column at Ringgold, on the 27th, is commended to the special notice of the government. Brigadier-Generals Gist and Bate, commanding divisions, Cumming, Walthall, and Polk, commanding brigades, were distinguished for coolness, gallantry, and successful conduct, throughout the engagements, and in the rear-guard on the retreat. To my staff, personal and general, my thanks are specially due for their gallant and zealous efforts, under fire, to rally the broken troops and restore order; and for their laborious services in conducting successfully the many and arduous duties of the retreat. Our losses are not yet ascertained; but in killed and wounded, it is known to have been very small. In prisoners and stragglers, I fear it is much larger. The chief of artillery reports the loss of forty pieces. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Braxton Bragg, General commanding. General S. Cooper, Adjutant-General, C. S. A., Richmond.
