, and establishing a signal station upon a prominent point. He had attempted to get possession of a rebel station, but owing to the rugged nature of the heights, and the ability of the enemy to defend so narrow a path, he could not reach it. In the mean time Generals Stanley and Wood pushed strong skirmish lines, well supported, as far up the western slope as possible. During the night following, General Newton succeeded in getting two pieces of artillery upon the ridge. The next morning, May 9, he attempted to make farther progress and succeeded in driving the enemy from 50 to 100 yards. General Stanley during the afternoon of the 9th made a :reconnaissance into the pass of Buzzard Roost, developing a strong musketry and artillery fire, while General Wood's division continued the same operations as the day before. The casualties in my command resulting from these operations were between 200 and 300 killed and wounded. In accordance with instructions from General Thomas, the F

May 9, Schofield having withdrawn his troops from the ridge to make a demonstration with his whole corps in the valley on the east side of Rocky Face, the remainder of my division was pushed to the top of Rocky Face Ridge, forming immediately behind Geg up the rear of the corps, and leaving Kimball's brigade behind to guard and bring up the corps hospitals.

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 throw our line on the ridge at right angles with the enemy's works, which were on the east side of the ridge and in plain view from our position. In the afternoon General Newton directed me to swing my left forward, for the purpose of joining the right of General Schofield's corps, which was moving in line down the valley on t

have the honor to submit the following report of the part taken by this regiment in the recent campaign of May, June, July, August, and September, 1864: On its return from veteran furlough in Indiana the regiment joined the brigade at Catoosa Springs, Ga., on the 4th day of May, in command of Lieutenant-Colonel Lennard, from whence on May 7 it moved with the brigade to Tunnel Hill, which place was then in possession of the enemy, but was evacuated upon the approach of Federal troops. On May 9 we were moved with the other regiments of the brigade to the top of Rocky Face Ridge, a most rough and difficult ascension, lying to the north and west of Dalton, where at the time slight skirmishing was going on with the enemy. Near nightfall of the 9th this brigade was formed in line on the east side of the ridge, this regiment occupying a position in the front line, and with this arrangement an advance upon the enemy was ordered by Brigadier-General Wagner. Skirmishers were thrown out a

No. 49. report of Lieut. Col. Terrence Clark, Seventy-ninth Illinois Infantry. Hdqrs. Seventy-Ninth Illinois Vol. Infantry, Atlanta, Ga., September 14, 1864. Sir: I have the honor to respectfully submit the following report of the operations of my regiment during the campaign: On the 9th day of May my regiment was thrown forward on the skirmish line at Rocky Face Ridge, Ga. In the evening we were ordered, with other regiments, to assault fort at that point, which we did, but were driven back, losing in killed and wounded as follows: Col. Allen Buckner, severely wounded; 1 enlisted man killed, and 9 enlisted men wounded. Lieut. Col. H. E. Rives took command, and at dark we were relieved and retired to the rear. On the 14th of May we reached a point near Resaca, and were again ordered in line of battle, relieving a part of the Twenty-third Army Corps. My regiment here gained a point near the enemy's works, and were hotly engaged for a period of three hours, until we we

ed him to protect my rear left flank until he could be relieved by troops from our own brigade. At 11.30 a. m. I relieved him, the Sixty-fifth Ohio having reported to me. A signal station was soon established, which communicated with headquarters at Tunnel Hill. From this position we had a plain view of the enemy's works and batteries, and could see Dalton. The importance of it as a point of observation was apparent. I lost 5 men killed, 3 mortally wounded, 1 officer wounded, and 16 men. May 9, heavy skirmishing until 5.30 p. m., when an assault was made along the crest of the ridge by the flank, the Seventy-ninth Illinois as skirmishers, then the Sixtyfourth Ohio, followed, respectively, by the Third Kentucky and One hundred and twenty-fifth Ohio. We could only move by the flank; and the rough surface made it impossible for troops to keep ranks even in that formation. The regiments in my front were soon in disorder, under severe musketry from behind complete protection. Number
