onefourth of a mile south of Peach Tree Creek, and on the left of the division. During this and the succeeding day had severe skirmishing, and on the 21st drove the rebel pickets back to their main works, the Fourteenth Ohio, under command of Major Wilson, supporting the skirmishers. On the 22d the rebels abandoned their works early in the morning and fell back to Atlanta. The brigade moved forward in the direction of Atlanta and went into position one-half mile west of the railroad and aboutrely wounded while in the act of raising the colors of his regiment from the ground, where they had fallen in consequence of the wounding of his color bearer. With so gallant a leader it is not strange his regiment should have done so nobly. Major Wilson, commanding Fourteenth Ohio, was severely wounded at almost the beginning of the engagement whilst gallantly urging his brave men forward by both voice and example. His place was fortunately filled by Capt. George W. Kirk and Adjutant Newton,

companying is a list of casualties. Omitted. The rebel line of works was not completed, but was near enough to be effective against infantry. Nothing but infantry was in our immediate front, who fought stubbornly, and continued fighting until our lines reached the works with their bayonets. After reaching the works the rebels still held the line left of where our line reached, protected by traverses and enfiladed our lines severely for half an hour. In the early part of the action Maj. John W. Wilson had his leg broken, which prevented him from superintending the movement of the regiment. It is impossible to make special mention of any officer of the regiment for deeds of gallantry, for all did their whole duty nobly. Of the enlisted men, I would make honorable mention of Private Joseph E. Warner, of Company A, for deeds of bravery and noble daring, who bore the colors and was among the first and foremost to reach the second line of rebel works, where he planted the colors on th
