lties there were 6 killed, and 21 wounded. In July, 1862, it moved to Newport News; here the Colonel resigned, and was succeeded by Lieutenant H. W. Kingsbury, of the Fourteenth U. S. Infantry, who thereupon put the regiment in a high state of drill, discipline, and efficiency. In the meantime it had been assigned to the Ninth Corps--Harland's (2d) Brigade, Sturgis's (2d) Division — with which it marched to Antietam; its losses on that field were 36 killed and 103 wounded; no missing; Colonel Kingsbury was killed there. Under Colonel Stedman the regiment was present at Fredericksburg, but was only slightly engaged. In February, 1863, the Connecticut Brigade moved to south-eastern Virginia, and the Eleventh passed that year in the vicinity of Suffolk and Norfolk, during which it was engaged in several expeditions into the enemy's country, and in some minor engagements. It re-enlisted and received a large number of recruits, taking the field in 1864 with 882 enlisted men present. I

rving under their immediate orders, desiring that on this subject they be considered as part of my own. I claim credit for the officers of my staff, and for those acting as such during the day. They did every thing in their power, exposing themselves freely when required, and doing all that men could do; communicating orders, guiding the columns, exhorting the troops, rallying them when broken, and providing for them the best the circumstances permitted. They are as follows: First Lieutenant H. W. Kingsbury, Fifth Artillery, aide-de-camp. Major Clarence S. Brown, New York Militia Volunteers, aide-de-camp. Major James S. Wadsworth, New York Militia Volunteers, aide-de-camp; the latter, who does me the honor to be on my personal staff, had a horse shot under him in the hottest of the fight. Captain James B. Fry, Assistant Adjutant-General. Captain O. H. Tillinghast, Assistant Quartermaster, who discharged alone the important and burdensome duties of his department with the army, and

read to the House — explain clearly the whole transaction, and will remove all ground for panic. First, a letter from Col. Craig, Chief of the Ordnance Bureau, to Dr. Archer, of date the 22d of March, which is as follows:--You will please forward to Richmond the cannon at your foundry which has been inspected by the United States, with as little delay as possible; and as soon as they are shipped from that place, the amount due on the inspection will be paid. Secondly, a letter from Captain Kingsbury, of the Ordnance Department, dated March 28th, and addressed to my friend Mr. A. M. Barbour, a member of the convention, which is in these words:--Col. Craig wishes me to say that Dr. Archer will be directed to-day not to remove the guns at present. The movement has been commenced, in order that the citizens of Virginia might receive their dues from the United States; and as the contract was completed, it seemed a fitting time to send forward the guns.
