vate Munsel W. Chapman, of the Seventh Louisiana volunteers, my secretary; and of Corporal Adam Cleniger, and Private John Stenaker, of Captain Cox's cavalry, who were killed while serving as couriers under my immediate orders. I am, Sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Daniel Ruggles, Brigadier-General C. S. A. Official: R. M. Hooe, A. A. G. Letter from Colonel Bankhead. Jackson, Mississippi, December 16th, 1862. Captain — In reply to your communication of the 8th instant making inquiry as to the part your (my) battery took in the bombardment of Prentice's division, late Sunday evening, at the battle of Shiloh and further, by whose order the batteries were ordered up to their respective positions, and how many there were and by whom commanded, I have the honor to state, for the information of Brigadier-General Ruggles: That at about 2 o'clock P. M. of the 6th April, I had been compelled to fall back from a position on the extreme left of our line, oppos

W. A. Webb; Beaufort, Lieutenant-Commanding W. H. Parker, and Raleigh, Lieutenant-Commanding J. W. Alexander, each one gun. Total, twenty-seven guns. On the 8th instant, at 11 A. M., the Virginia left the Navy Yard, Norfolk, accompanied by the Raleigh and Beaufort, and proceeded to Newport News to engage the enemy's frigates Cu exercise his own judgment and discretion in doing all the damage he could to the enemy, and to sink before surrendering. From the bearing of those officers on the 8th, I am fully satisfied that that order would have been carried out. Commander Tucker speaks highly of all under him, and desires particularly to notice that Lieutl specially mentioned by him. On the 21st instant, I forwarded to the Department correct lists of the casualties on board all the vessels of the squadron, on the 8th; none, it appears, occurred on the 9th. While in the act of closing this report, I received the communication of the Department, dated 22d instant, relieving me

e, establishing there a portion of Wofford's brigade, sent me for the purpose by General Longstreet, and posted Jenkins' cavalry brigade on that portion of our front in advance of the infantry. Robertson's brigade, being small and the enemy being least threatening from that direction, was assigned to the north front of Hagerstown, connecting with General Jones on the right on the Cavetown road. The Maryland cavalry was ordered on the National road and towards Greencastle on a scout. On the 8th the cavalry was thrown for-ward towards Boonsboroa, advancing on the different roads in order, by a bold demonstration to threaten an advance upon the enemy. and thus cover the retrograde of the main body. The move was successful, the advance under General Jones encountering the enemy on the Boonsboroa road at Beaver Creek bridge, from which point to the verge of Boonsboroa an animated fight ensued, principally on foot, the ground being entirely too soft from recent rains to operate success

s Banks is reported to be using the west bank of the Mississippi for the transportation of his suplies, &c. I deem it of great importance that the most vigorous movement should be made by a portion of our forces against the enemy opposite Port Hudson; and it is necessary that I should give my personal supervision to the arrangements and perhaps take command of the expedition. In my report of operations of the forces in the parishes of Madison, Tensas and Carroll, dated at Richmond on the 8th instant, I gave you the information which had been gained of the enemy's positions in that section. As it was pretty well cleared of the enemy's troops, I thought that Tappan's brigade and Harrison's cavalry force would be sufficient to open and keep up communication with Vicksburg. I instructed Brigadier-General Hebert to have a supply of beef cattle ready to swim across in order to victual the troops.

a force up by Yazoo City, to take Forrest in rear at Grenada, and ordered General W. Sooy Smith to move from Collierville on Pontotoc and Okalona, &c., and to meet him at Meridian, Mississippi, as near the 10th of February as he could. General Sherman says General Polk seemed to have no suspicion of our intention to disturb him. If this were true, he certainly could not say the same thing of Forrest. He knew that Smith's cavalry was preparing to move some time before it did move. On the 8th two infantry columns moved--one on Panola and the other on Wyatt — and on the 9th, one day before the cavalry started, Forrest, then at Oxford, telegraphed Chalmers, at Panola, to skirmish with the infantry, but that this was a feint, and he must be ready to intercept the cavalry, which he predicted would strike for Columbus and the prairie country of east Mississippi, where we had government works and a large quantity of corn. McCulloch's and Richardson's brigades were then stretched out fr

Official diary of First corps, A. N. V., while commanded by Lieutenant-General R. H. Anderson, from May 7th to 31st, 1864. May 7th During the morning there is occasional skirmishing on our lines, which are rectified and connected. At eleven o'clock P. M. we take up the line of march for Spotsylvania Courthouse, in a shady grove, where we rest an hour at dawn on the 8th, Kershaw leading. We find Fitz. Lee hotly engaged on the Todd's Tavern and Spottsylvania Courthouse road. We arrive in time to relieve him but not to save the Courthouse, which is, however, afterwards occupied by us, the enemy being driven out. Kershaw's and Humphreys' brigades are turned off rapidly to the left of the road, and, occupying some cover left by our cavalry, repulse the enemy with great slaughter. Wofford's and Bryan's brigades are sent against the Courthouse by a detour, and finally occupy it. During the fight with the two first named brigades, Haskell's battalion is sharply engaged and does go
