This officer had been on duty for some months at the post, and had shown great enemy and professional skill; and by his gallant bearing on that occasion, while directing the operations of the day under my order, had justly earned or himself high distinction. His death was a serious loss to the service, and was a source of no little embarrassment in our after-operations On the 18th we had quire, but we saw the smoke of a l
