so favorably spoken of by competent persons as to make it my duty to mention them in this manner. My staff officers, Captain Green Peyton and Captain M. L. Randolph, have been mentioned for their meritorious conduct. Their duties were more than usually arduous during the action, and were nobly discharged. Mr. Ed. O'Neal, volunteer aid, a youth under eighteen, behaved most gallantly, and I am under great obligations to him. Four of my couriers, C. S. Ellis, Company B, Fourth Georgia; Gilliam James, Company D, Fifth Alabama;----, and----of Stuart's cavalry, Fitz.
