ng of the campaign the effective force of the brigade was 137 officers and 1,870 men. On Tuesday, the 3d day of May, 1864, my brigade, with the rest of General Newton's division, marched from Cleveland southward on the road leading toward Dalton, Ga. We arrived at Catoosa Springs on the 5th of May, nothing of importance having occurred during the march. The command laid by one day at the Springs. On the morning of Saturday, May 7, we were again put in motion and moved on the road leadingy, 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.

On the morning of the 3d I was ordered to march to Marietta, and from thence in pursuit of the enemy, whom wehey evacuated during the night, retreating in the direction of Atlanta.

About 5 p. m. the briga resumed the march and returned to our old camp near Vining's Station.

urred during the march. The command laid by one day at the Springs. On the morning of Saturday, May 7, we were again put in motion and moved on the road leading by Lee's house, in the direction of Tunnel Hill. We arrived at the tannery, about one and a half miles from the town, in the afternoon and encamped for the night. On the afternoon of Sunday, the 8th, pursuant to orders from General Newton, I moved my command eastward into the valley which surrounded the northern extremity of Rocky Face Ridge, for the purpose of supporting General Harker's brigade, which had driven the enemy from his advanced position and effected a lodgment on the ridge. The evening passed off without any demonstration from the enemy, and I removed my brigade back to camp at the tannery and remained over night. On the morning of Monday, May 9, General Newton directed me to move my command into position on the crest of Rocky Face, on the left of Harker's brigade. The nature of the ground was such as to th

At 2 o'clock, pursuant to orders from General Newton, I marched my brigade southward across Two-Run Creek and took position in an open field, from which the enemy was in plain view, but beyond the range of musketry fire. I remained here but a short time, when General Newton directed me to move my brigade to a point about a mile farther east, which I did, recrossing the creek and taking position in an open field near the Mills. I here threw forward a regiment, deploying one-half as skirmishers, and prepared to advance. Just at this time a brigade of General Geary's division, of the Twentieth
