in momentary readiness to move. July 23, 24, 25, and 26, my corps remained substantially in the same position, having completed a system of works strong enough to be held by a thin single line. July 27, in obedience to orders from Major-General Sherman, I took leave of the Fourth Army Corps and assumed command of the Army of the Tennessee. In conclusion I wish to say that it pains me not to be able to give a substantial reward to officers who have so faithfully, so energetically, anheir command I must leave without special notice, from the fact that otherwise the list would be too extended. For gallantry, efficiency, unflinching activity, and gentlemanly deportment I commend the different members of my staff, viz: Col. F. T. Sherman, chief of staff (captured while reconnoitering, July 7); Lieut. Col. J. S. Fullerton, assistant adjutant-general; Lieut. Col. C. H. Howard, assistant inspector-general; Lieut. Col. H. Hayes, chief quartermaster; Lieut. Col. D. Remick, chief

I refer with pride to the splendid conduct, bravery, and efficiency of the following regimental commanders, and the officers and men of their respective commands: Colonel F. T. Sherman, Eighty-eighth Illinois. Major F. Ehrler, Second Missouri. Lieutenant-Colonel John Weber, Fifteenth Missouri. Captain W. W. Barrett, Forty-fourth Illinois, (wounded). Major W. A. Preston, Seventy-third Illinois (wounded). Major Sr; Lieutenant Shaw, Seventh Illinois cavalry, were with me all day on the field, and carried my orders everywhere with the greatest courage. Lieutenant Simmons was severely injured by a fragment of a shell. I cannot commend the conduct of Doctor Sherman, Ninth Indiana volunteers, Medical Director, too highly. At all times from the commencement of the march from Nashville, and during the battles and skirmishes in which the division was engaged, up to the occupation of Murfreesboro, he was al

The plan was certainly bold and ambitions enough in its scope. In attempting too much, he acc. It would have been better had he been satisfied merely to drive Sherman back and defeat his campaign. I believe he could have done this by throwing all of his army upon a part of Sherman's — the nearest part of it to Atlanta.
