l. Infantry, Atlanta, Ga., September 7, 1864. Sir: Concerning the operations of my regiment during the recent campaign, I have the honor to submit the following report: On Tuesday morning, May 3, 1864, the regiment, under command of Col. C. J. Dilworth, marched from Lee and Gordon's Mills in the direction of Ringgold; halted at Ringgold and camped temporarily. The campaign proper opened on the 9th of May, the division to which the Eighty-fifth is attached holding an important position too strong. Intrenchments were thrown up in the face of the foe.

R. G. Rider was left in command of the regiment. Pursuit commenced July 3; the enemy was overtaken on the 4th. July 5, he continued his retreat and we followed.

The brigade remained in this position till night and then moved to the right about a half mile, on a hill, and fortified.

t may not be inappropriate here to remark that a braver soldier or more efficient officer in line of his peculiar duties the Army of the Union does not contain. The command at this point devolved upon Lieut. Col. James W. Langley, who commanded the regiment through the engagement at the Chattahoochee River, July 5, and at Peach Tree Creek, on the 19th of July, in both of which it was actively engaged, and subsequently until, in the midst of the battle of Jonesborough, September 1, when Colonel Dilworth, brigade commander, was wounded and carried off the field, the command of the brigade devolved upon him (Lieutenant-Colonel Langley), and that of the regiment upon myself.. During the whole of the engagement at Jonesborough the officers and men behaved with that high courage which marks the soldier fighting in support of a good cause. The regiment, while yet under command of Lieut. Col. James W. Langley, reached the crest of the hill just in front of a rebel battery, engaged the enemy

In the afternoon of the 19th the regiment, under the personal direction of Colonel Dilworth, commanding brigade, effected the crossing of Peach Tree, and only sheltered from the fire of the enemy by a light strip of undergrowth on each side of the stream. As soon as the entire regiment was on the south side of the creek, Companies A, F, H, B, and K were deployed as skirmishers, as much as possible under cover of the bushes, with instructions to halt when the ridge and houses, from 300 to 500 yards in front, should be carried.
