m Harper's Ferry at half past 2 o'clock of the seventeenth, he reported to the commanding General, and was by him directed to take position on the right. I have not embraced the movements of his division, nor his killed and wounded of that action in my report. Early in the morning of the nineteenth, we recrossed the Potomac River into Virginia near Shepherdstown. The promptitude and success with which this movement was effected reflects the highest credit upon the skill and energy of Major Harman, chief Quartermaster. In the evening, the command moved on the road leading to Martinsburg, except Lawton's brigade, (Colonel Lamar, of the Sixty-first Georgia, commanding,) which was left on the Potomac Heights. On the same day the enemy appeared in considerable force on the northern side of the Potomac, and commenced planting heavy batteries on its heights. In the evening, the Federals commenced crossing under the protection of their guns, driving off Lawton's brigade and General P

nty-one prisoners, of whom eleven were officers. The report of Major Bridgford exhibits a gratifying statement of the small number who straggled from the ranks during the last action, and affords further evidence of the improving discipline and spirit of the army. The report of Major Bier, my chief of ordnance, shows that we captured four thousand four hundred and forty-six small arms. My medical director, Dr. Hunter McGuire, gave special and skilful attention to the wounded. Major J. A. Harman, chief quartermaster, Major W. J. Hawks, chief commissary, and Major G. H. Bier, chief of ordnance, discharged their duties well. During the action, I received valuable assistance in transmitting orders, and discharging other duties, from the following members of my staff: Colonel S. Crutchfield, chief of artillery. Colonel A. Smeade, inspector-general. Captain A. S. Pendleton, assistant adjutant-general. Captain J. K. Boswell, chief of engineers. First Lieutenant J. G. Mor

ed the rest of the division. I take pleasure in reporting that Colonel R. W. Folsom, Fourteenth Georgia; Lieutenant W. L. Grice, Forty-fifth Georgia; Major S. T. Player, Forty-ninth Georgia, and Captain John Duke, Thirty-fifth Georgia, commanded their respective regiments with marked success. All the officers and men of my command, who were present, acted with the utmost coolness and the most daring courage before the enemy. I have to regret the loss of several valuable officers. Captain Harman, Fourteenth Georgia, and Captain Shaw, Forty-fifth Georgia, were killed, and Lieutenant-Colonel Fielder, Captain Hounger, and Lieutenant Solomons fell mortally wounded, in a few yards of the enemy's breastworks, gallantly leading their men to the charge.

the various regiments and batteries deserve great praise. In consequence of Major F. B. Jones, Second Regiment Virginia Volunteers, being familiar with the locality, he was detached from his regiment and acted as a staff officer during the engagement, and from his familiarity with the country, added to his zeal and daring, rendered very valuable service. Dr. Hunter McGuire, Medical Director, discharged his duties in a manner which proved him admirably qualified for his position. Major J. A. Harman, Chief Quartermaster, ably discharged his duties. Major W. J. Hawkes, Chief Commissary, with his usual foresight, had the wants of his department well supplied. First Lieutenant G. G. Junkins, A. D. C., and A, A. A. General, faithfully and efficiently devoted himself to his duties until near the close of the engagement, when I regret to say he was captured by the enemy. First Lieutenant A. S. Pendleton, A. D.

late Hampton's) brigade was assigned the duty of picketing the Potomac from Falling Waters to Hedgesville. The other brigades were moved back towards Leetown — Robertson's being sent to the fords of the Shenandoah, where he already had a picket, which, under Captain Johnston, of the North Carolina cavalry, had handsomely repulsed the enemy in their advance on Ashby's gap, inflicting severe loss, with great disparity in numbers. Harper's Ferry was again in possession of the enemy, and Colonel Harman, Twelfth Virginia cavalry, had in an engagement with the enemy gained a decided success, but was himself captured by his horse falling. Upon my arrival at the Bower that afternoon (15th), I learned that a large force of the enemy's cavalry was between Shepherdstown and Leetown, and determined at once to attack him, in order to defeat any designs he might have in the direction of Martinsburg. I made disposition accordingly, concentrating cavalry in his front, and early on the 16th mov

Do not permit any letter to be sent by flag of truce, unless it is first read by yourself. Please turn over the guns to the agent. Major Harman may send for the wagons and ambulances.

Colonel — Your secondrd, Commanding Cavalry, Valley District: Colonel — I congratulate you upon the success of yesterday. Send the prisoners to Staunton, and also the captured property, if you can spare it. If you have need of it, let it be accounted for to Major J. A.

If you can meet me in Staunton by five o'clock to-morrow morning, I hope you will do so, as I desire to have a personal interview with you. Instead of sendin

I felt sure that the medical department under Surgeon McGuire, the Quartermaster's under Major Harman, and the Subsistence under Major Hawks, would be as well conducted as experience, energy and zeal could ensure. The labor and responsibility of providing the subsistence of the whole army during its advance rested in a great measure on Major

This is another fine body of young soldier-students, and even outnumbered the corps from the Virginia Military Institute. Colonel J. A. Harman commanded the Blacksburg lads, and they were certainly an imposing body of cadets. They drilled with precision, and manifested skill in both the manual and the field movements. The four companies from this school were officered as follows: Battery E—Captain A. H. Apperson and Lieutenants Ellett and Stewart. Company A—Captain L. W. Gerald and Lieutenants Roop and Wheeler.
