ent in the campaign just closed, resulting in the capture of the city of Atlanta: From the time we broke camp on the 3d day of May, at McDonald's Station, East Tenn., until the 15th day of the same month, the regiment was commanded by Col. William H. Gibson, therefore it will not be expected of me to give more than a general account of its operations during that time. From McDonald's Station we marched with the brigade, commanded by General Willich, and with it went into position in front omen wounded. On the 15th the situation was unchanged, and the position and operations of the regiment the same as on the 14th.

Regiment Ohio Volunteers, Seventyninth Regiment Indiana Volunteers, and the Ninth Regiment Kentucky Volunteers, the line commanded by Col. Charles F. Manderson, of the Nineteenth Ohio Volunteers. The Eighty-sixth Regiment Indiana Volunteers, Col. George F. Dick commanding, was detached by order of General Wood to cover a road on the line of advance, and remained there till the attack was over. Having received orders to that effect, the brigade marched in support of the First Brigade, Colonel Gibson commanding, which brigade was soon engaged with the enemy. The attack made was so strongly resisted that it speedily necessitated the bringing of this brigade into action. In the advance the first line was completely enfiladed by the enemy's artillery, suffering severely. The advance was made rapidly and in good order. After sustaining a murderous fire, I regret to say it was thrown into disorder. The second line, commanded by Colonel Manderson, was then ordered forward. The advanc

Took position in rear of skirmish line, without any works; fired 207 rounds, doing the enemy considerable damage; remained in this position until about 10 a. m. on the 18th, when I took position about 600 yards to the front and right, in open field, by order of Captain Aleshire, in rear of Colonel Gibson's brigade, of General Wood's division; opened on the enemy; had not fired but a few rounds when one of the enemy's batteries opened on me from the woods at my right, severely wounding 1 man. I immediately changed the position of one section of my battery, in order to bring it to bear on the enemy, and, with the assistance of Captain Goodspeed, who was in position on my right, silenced them in a few moments. We could not see the result of our fire, owing to the enemy's batteries being in

the long-sought — for enemy's right, and dispositions were at once made to turn it. The ground was very broken, the creek winding its tortuous way among the hills and a labyrinth of ravines, complicating the difficulties of the position. Wood's brigades were each formed in two lines, making the division consist of six lines. After several slight modifications, as the ground and the position of the enemy became more developed, I was finally ordered to form on the left of the center brigade (Gibson's) and advance with it to protect the left flank of the divisiQn. On the left of Wood flowed the creek, on the other side of which rose a ridge, cut by ravines and difficult of ascent. Skirmishers were thrown across the creek on the ridge, also to the front, and from the difficulty I would have in advancing from the prolongation of Wood's line, I determined to throw my left forward and strengthen the line when Wood advanced. Two regiments had hardly moved out when a sharp fire was opened
