sted until Generals Stanley's and Newton's divisions formed and advanced about one mile, when the enemy was found in a second line of works. Our division being in reserve, moved inside of the abandoned works and bivouacked for the night. At 7 a. m. the 17th we marched through the second line of works, the enemy having retreated during the night, and relieved General Stanley's division, which was skirmishing with him. This brigade being formed in two lines, connecting on the right with Colonel Knefier's brigade, and on the left with the Fourteenth Corps, advanced with the Eighty-ninth Illinois deployed as skirmishers, driving the enemy from their riflepits into their main line of works, a distance of one mile. From this position five batteries shelled the enemy in the direction of Kenesaw Mountain. On the 18th at 6 a. m. our regiment was put into position about 300 yards from the enemy's works, and hastily constructed barricades. At 8 a. m. we relieved the Twenty-fifth Illinois on

Kimberly, and the Ninety-third Regiment Ohio Infantry, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Bowman, in a second line. In this order the brigade advanced, driving the enemy's skirmishers into the main work, occupying and permanently holding a portion of their rifle-pits and temporary defenses. At this time I was informed that Brigadier-General Wood, commanding the division, had been severely wounded and carried from the field, and I immediately assumed command of the division, and notified Colonel Knefier and Colonel Hotchkiss, commanding, respectively, the Third and First Brigades, of that fact. In order to fill up the interval which existed between the Second and Third Brigades, I directed the Second Brigade to move to the left, and to deploy the Ninety-third Ohio Infantry in the front line, and I ordered Colonel Hotchkiss, commanding the First Brigade, also to move to the left, General Wagner's brigade, which had been massed in rear of the Second Division, deploying and filling up th

rt of Capt. Eli F. Ritter, Seventy-ninth Indiana Infantry. Hdqrs. Seventy-Ninth Regt. Indiana foot Vols., Near Atlanta, Ga., September 15, 1864. Captain: I have the honor to submit the following report of the part taken by the Seventy-ninth Regiment Indiana Volunteers in the campaign since leaving McDonald's Station, Tenn., May 3, 1864, to the time of arrival at Atlanta, Ga., September 8, 1864: The regiment moved from McDonald's Station, Tenn., May 3, 1864, under command of Col. Fred. Knefier, and belonged, as it does at present, to the Third Brigade, Third Division, Fourth Army Corps. It went into bivouac at Catoosa Springs, Ga., on the evening of the 5th, and remained until the morning of the 7th, when it moved with the brigade to Tunnel Hill, Ga. On May 8, in front of Rocky Face Ridge, the regiment introduced its exercises for the campaign in a brisk skirmish with the enemy. Since that time it has taken an active part in all the movements, labors, skirmishes, and enga

y, Atlanta, Ga., September 14, 1864. Captain: I have the honor to present my report, from the time I rejoined the regiment. I found the regiment in camp with the brigade in front of Kenesaw Mountain, confronting the enemy. On the 25th we lay in camp. On the 26th the regiment moved with the brigade to the right, and formed in the rear and support of General Newton's division, while it made an assault on the enemy'stworks. The assault being unsuccessful we moved back to camp, by Colonel Knefier's order. Nothing unusual occurred until the night of the 2d of July, when I received orders to move, and at dark moved with the brigade about three-quarters of a mile to the left, and relieved part of Johnson's division. Our line was so close to the enemy that no pickets could be put out to cover the left of the regiment. The men were obliged to fire from the works, as also did the enemy. About 3 a. m. the 3d of July I received an ordersfrom Colonel Knefler to move a line of skirmis

ust taken. No accurate account can be rendered of the prisoners captured by this regiment in the rifle-pits at Lovejoy's. The officers' estimates vary from 40 to 100; I sergeant conducted to the rear 1 lieutenant and 15 privates at one time, and these officers say that many of our prisoners fell into the hands of the provostmarshals of other brigades. Whilst I was engaged in rallying and forming the regiment, and beginning to construct barricades to be used in case of a countercharge, Colonel Knefier, commanding the brigade, rode up and informed me that he was temporarily in command of the division, and ordered me to take command of the brigade, reform it, and construct works at once, which I did. In a very short time we had good, substantial works put up, and it was dark, and I had thrown out pickets in front of our lines. Then seeing Colonel Knefler again he informed me that General Wood, commanding the division, had been wounded, and for that cause he had assumed command for a s

had met with nothing but the enemy's skirmishers, who yielded stubbornly at our approach, but when Wood's leading brigade (Hazen's) advanced into the open field a terrific fire was opened upon them. The line continued to advance under a galling fire of musketry and artillery. It was soon found impracticable, however, to carry their works with our force; and dispositions were made by Wood to occupy the rising ground in the woods. This deployment placed me in the front line on the left of Knefier's brigade, which moved up into the edge of the field. The enemy, emboldened by his success in checking our progress, furiously assaulted the whole line; this was repeated several times and as often repulsed. They soon became more and more active upon my part of the line, and a movement to turn the left was discovered. Already a severe fire enfiladed the Thirty-seventh Indiana. The Twenty-first Ohio, First Wisconsin, and Thirty-eighth Indiana, who had been thrown across the creek, were s

rigades on this side of the river, and threw the other over the river to the support of Hazen's brigade, of Wood's division, that is occupying the enemy's bridge-head. (This brigade crossed at about 4.30 p. m.) General Hazen directed to relieve Knefier's and Gibson's brigades, of Wood's division, now on the other side of the creek, at dark, and let them return to camp to make preparations for the march to-morrow. 4.25, sent word to Stanley to push his whole division over north fork of Peach Ticket-firing to-day. Two men wounded; no report as to whether any killed. Day showery and quite warm. August 10.-Nothing of importance done to-day. Usual amount of artillery and picket firing. 5 p. m., General Wood reports the lookout in Knefier's front reports the enemy moving troops, with wagons, toward our left; this on the other side of his breast-works. At once sent word to General Kimball to be on the watch, &c. 6.30 p. m., the signal officer at Howard's house reports that he has
