In the posi.-tion above given, having one regiment, Twenty-sixth Ohio, in reserve, the brigade remained during the investment of Atlanta, working almost continually on thein; aggregate, 891. Losses from expiration of term of service, 2 officers and 40 enlisted men; aggregate, 42. Strength of brigade on arriving at Atlanta, 75 officers and 940 enlisted men; aggregate, 1,015.

f July, at 7 a. m., the line of march was resumed on the main Atlanta road, and at 4 p. m. camped in order of battle near Buck Head, the brigade being formed in two lines; commenced building works immediately, and by dark were strongly intrenched. Remained in this until 4 p. m. of the 19th, when we again went into position about two miles in advance upon the high ground on the north side of Peach Tree Creek, where we encamped. On the morning of July 20 crossed Peach Tree Creek and relieved Hazen's brigade, of Wood's division, who had effected a crossing yesterday, and built works, which we occupied. The works were on the brow of a hill on the bank of the creek, and commanded the ground for some distance on either flank, but to the front the hill was extended into a ridge, on the crest of which ran the main Atlanta road. About 300 yards distant on this ridge the enemy's skirmishers were posted in a wood, which protected them from view, while they were continually annoying us with th

Lieutenant Royse was twice wounded at Resaca, with shell in the arm, and at New Hope Church by minie-ball in the head, severely, but is on duty.

charge. It was found impossible to hold the captured works on the left of my line, as the enemy had a converging fire upon the same, therefore the left of the Fifty-seventh Indiana Volunteers fell back in good order to the position they started from in making the charge. My losses in this charge were 2 commissioned officers and 13 enlisted men killed, and 2 commissioned officers and 36 enlisted men wounded. Colonel Bartleson, One hundredth Illinois Volunteers, in command of line, and Captain Stidham, Fifty-seventh Indiana Volunteers, both very gallant and tried officers of superior ability, were killed whilst nobly performing their duty. Colonel Bartleson lost one arm at Shiloh, was captured at Chickamauga whilst gallantly leading his regiment on a charge, and had returned from Libby Prison but a few days before his death. The 24th, 25th, and 26th were spent in skirmishing with the enemy in front of their position at Kenesaw Mountain. On the morning of the 27th I received orders

At daylight on the morning of the 12th I was directed to march my brigade into the valley on the west side of the ridge, and took position in the north end of the valley, covering the approaches from that direction. The enemy threatened our front with a heavy force of infantry, driving in General Stoneman's cavalry, and I made ready to receive him, covering my lines with hastily thrown — up works. The enemy, however, withdrew from our front, after driving in the cavalry, and the night passed quietly, the men sleeping on their arms. On the morning of the 13th it was ascertained that the enemy had evacuated his works at Buzzard Roost Gap and retreated southward in the direction of Resaca. We moved on in pursuit, passing through the town of Dalton and down the valley on the east side of
