The batteries of the corps have, with two exceptions, been fought as the corps was fought previous to the 1st of September--that is, by detail, a battery or a battalion at a time-and to give a history of their marches and engagements would be merely to duplicate the reports of the several battery commanders herewith transmitted. The only occasions when the entire artillery force of the Fourteenth Corps was engaged at the same time were in front of Kenesaw Mountain, from the 20th of June to the 2d day of July, and in the bombardment of the enemy's works around Atlanta, from the 23d of July to the 26th of August.

His pronunciation was seldom, if ever, at fault, though in two words he had a peculiar way of pronouncing the letter d: he always pronounced corduroy corjuroy, and immediately immejetly. While planning means for the defeat of Early, General Grant was still giving constant attention to the movements of Sherman. That officer had been repulsed in making his attack on Kenesaw Mountain, but by a successful flank movement had turned the enemy's very strong position, and compelled him to fall back over the Chattahoochee River on July 4.

Here we were to stop for breakfast and attempt the seizure of the train. The morning was raw and gloomy, and a rain, which fell all day, had already begun. It was a painfully thrilling moment! We were but twenty, with an army about us and a long and difficult road before us crowded with enemies. In an instant we were to throw off the disguise which had been our only pro
