, although a daring body of the enemy gained the rifle-pits in front of Quarles, where most were killed or captured. In this assault Logan lost seven regimental commanders. The heaviest fighting was in front of Thomas, who sent forward two columns—one, Newton's division supported by Stanley; the other, Davis' division supported by Baird. One of these attacks, near the southwest extremity of Kenesaw, on the Burnt Hickory road, fell upon Cockrell's Missouri brigade on Loring's left and on Sears' brigade, and was pressed through the skirmishers of Walker's right. Lieut.-Col. Robert A. Fulton, of the Fifty-third Ohio infantry, says that the skirmishers encountered by his regiment were from the Sixty-third Georgia, and reports that his command had with them a hand-to-hand fight, in which bayonets and butts of muskets were used. About 80 of these skirmishers were killed, wounded or captured. Many of the wounds were from bayonets. The Sixty-third had been thoroughly drilled in the

At 9 o'clock, when the troops were in position, General French sent in a summons for uncondible under cover of a heavy fire from Tourtellotte to send an aide over for reinforcements. Before they could arrive both Sears and Young, according to Corse's report, assaulted with so much vigor and in such force as to break Rowett's line, and hadt work with a storm of fire. Tourtellotte, on the east side, though badly wounded, managed to hold his main works, while Sears fought close up to the strong position. About 10 a. m. Sherman had reached Kenesaw mountain, and seeing the smoke and
