eing the rebel host leaving in utter rout, and the hard-fought field was ours. I cannot close this report without giving expression to the heartfelt grief which pervades all breasts for the loss of our valiant dead; yet we have the consolation of knowing that they all fell nobly battling in defence of the country, and so long as brave and gallant conduct continues to excite emotion in the breast of man, the names of Lieutenant-Colonel Redfield, Lieutenant Blodgett, Lieutenant Ayres, Lieutenant Wright, Lieutenant Jones, and the noble dead who fell under them, will ever be remembered. To the wounded, we would say: Your wounds are sacred, received in a holy cause; to you we extend a soldier's sympathy, and assure you that you shall never be neglected nor forgotten. And to the living, who passed through that terrible ordeal, unharmed, I would say: Your deeds will live after you, and your names will be remembered in history. And although, where all did so well, to particularize would

the same time, to inform the junior Generals, Wright and Stevens, that while pushing forward every ond, a steamer came out with a letter from General Wright, saying that he expected to be coming in ten at Legareville to protect the buildings for Wright's column from their destruction, as feared by sland to Fort Johnson, still the column of General Wright, nearly six thousand strong, did not make tenth, immediately after the establishment of Wright's camp at the best landing at Grimball's, two the struggle was protracted, at the Fort.

to First Assistant — he having performed the duties of that grade during the engagement. The forward officers, boatswain Hasker, gunner Oliver, and carpenter Lindsey, discharged well all the duties required of them. The boat-swain had charge of a gun, and fought it well. The gunner was indefatigable in his efforts; his experience and exertions as a gunner have contributed very materially to the efficiency of the battery. Acting Master Parrish was assisted in piloting the ship by pilots Wright, Williams, Clark, and Cunningham. They were necessarily much exposed. It is now due that I should mention my personal staff. To that gallant young officer Flag Lieutenant Minor, I am much indebted for his promptness in the execution of signals; for renewing the flag-staffs when shot away — being thereby greatly exposed; for his watchfulness in keeping the confederate flag up; his alacrity in conveying my orders to the different divisions; and for his general cool and gallant bearing

e. It was therefore determined, on the evening of the twenty-eighth, to send Major-General Warren, with the Second corps and a division of the Sixth corps, to move to our left, to feel for the enemy's right flank, and turn him, if practicable; at the same time orders were given to each corps commander to critically examine his front, and ascertain the practicability of an assault. The twenty-ninth was spent in the reconnoissance and the movement of General Warren. About six P. M. Brigadier-General Wright, commanding division in the Sixth corps, reported to me he had discovered a point, on our extreme right, where the obstacles to be overcome were much less than in our immediate front, and where an assault, he thought, was practicable with inconsiderable loss. At the same time Captain Michler, engineer, reported that an assault in front of the Third corps, though hazardous, was not impracticable. I also learned from Major Ludlow, A. D. C., just returned from General Warren's column

Williams assisted me in the command, and acquitted himself honorably, cheering and encouraging the men, by example, to the work which was so well executed. Lieutenant A. J. Arnold, commanding company I, fell mortally wounded, while gallantly leading his company. He was a noble young officer, whose loss will be seriously felt by all who knew him. Lieutenant Wright, company D, was wounded and is a prisoner. Adjutant Cornall received a wound early in the action, and was sent to the rear. Robert Fisher, color-sergeant, who bravely bore the colors to the front amid the showers of shell and bullets, was wounded. Corporal Walter Monteiro received and supported our banner manfully through the engagement. The casualties are as follows: Killed, four; wounded, eighty-nine; missing, twenty.
