surrender only in a hand-tohand fight; then moving toward the railroad in rear of the rebel lines we compelled the rebels to quit the trenches only at the point of the bayonet. At these works there was no charging force in front, it having broken and run some time before, and they had a flank fire on our men before we crossed the works. Colonel Lee, of the Second Kentucky Infantry, surrendered his regiment to Captain Dunphy. Parts of the Sixth and Ninth Kentucky Infantry, and some of two Arkansas regiments of infantry, were among the prisoners taken by us, which in all amounted to nearly 400, and 1 stand of colors (Sixth Kentucky) ; the Second Kentucky tore their colors to shreds, so it should not be taken by us. The four right companies moved forward in their proper place, guiding right, as ordered, but on reaching the first line of works found the support all halted there, and hence could move no farther. Therefore, it will be seen that they performed their whole duty, but the ch

gt. Michigan Vet. Infantry, Camp near Atlanta, Ga., September 8, 1864. At 12 o'clock, midnight of last night, August 27, the rebels shelled our camp, and at 2.30 a. m. the order to move (which we had been waiting on since dusk last eve) came, and we moved half a mile to the left and halted until nearly day. Moved on just as a heavy storm of rain came up, which delayed daybreak some time; as it was very dark the column moved only very slowly until we were nearly a mile farther out on the Sandtown road, when daylight came, and moving on, we took position on a steep knob about two miles from camp (by the route we came) and prepared breakfast. Five companies of our regiment were on the picket-line and covered the retreat (or removal) of our lines. The enemy followed up very closely and our skirmishers had warm work with them at times, but they did not succeed in taking one of our men. After getting breakfast we moved nearly a mile farther to the right and threw up works. Pitched cam
