e strength of the enemy's lines, and the numerous obstacles which they had accumulated in front of their works, our want of success is in a great degree to be attributed to the thickets and undergrowth, which effectually broke up the formation of our columns and deprived that formation of the momentum which was expected of it. Beside the enemy's musketry our troops were exp9sed to a heavy fire of canister and case-shot. Colonel Miller, Thirty-sixth Illinois, was mortally wounded; Lieutenant-Colonel Chandler, Eighty-eighth Illinois, was killed; Lieutenant-Colonel Kerr, Seventy-fourth Illinois, after receiving a mortal wound, still led his men to the foot of the works, where he was taken prisoner. The loss of the division in the assault was 654 killed and wounded.

Apart from the strength of the enemy's lines, and the numerous obstacles which they had accumulated in front of their works, our want of success is in a great degree to be attributed to the thickets and undergrowth, which effectually broke up the formation of our columns and deprived that formation of the momentum which was expected of it.

No. 32. reports of Brig. Gen. John Newton, U. S. Army, commanding Second Division. Hdqrs. Second Division, Fourth Army Corps, In the Field, near Peach Tree Creek, Ga., July 21, 1864. Colonel: I have the honor to transmit report of casualties sustained by my division in engagement of yesterday. I will proceed to give a more perfect account of the action. With a heavy skirmish line the ridge, one-half [mile] wide, in front of our works was taken. General Kimball's brigade moved up to the skirmish line and formed on the right-hand side of the road, Colonel Blake on the left; Colonel Bradley was along the road perpendicular to their position in order of march. As soon as Kimball's and Blake's brigades reached the top of the ridge they commenced naturally to throw up log and rail barricades, and, as the result proved, providentially. When my line of battle was formed and my troops well in hand, I ordered the skirmish line forward. They had not advanced over 150 yards

ttacked the enemy's works on the eastern slope of the ridge and on the top, General Wagner's brigade being displayed on the eastern slope for this purpose. General He was not to attack till an impression had been made by the other columns. General Wagner, in advancing, found his farther progress impeded by an impassable ravine, icket-firing all day. May 11, no change, except that Sherman's brigade relieved Wagner; picket-firing all day. May 12, General Schofield being withdrawn and sent towaeral Harker's brigade was formed on the right in one column closed in mass: General Wagner's and General Kimball's on the left in one column closed in mass. The coluof their works, but were unable to get in, and fell back a short distance.

I had been driven across the creek Hooker's left flank would have been entirely exposed and serious consequences ensued. The enemy were completely astonished to find, half completed barricades on the hill which we had just taken and which they imagined was only occupied by a skirmish line. I am ordered by General Thomas to make no further advance until I connect with General Wood on my left. I am, colonel, very respectfully, John Newton, Brigadier-General, Commanding. Lieut. Col. J. S. Fullerton, Assistant Adjutant-General, Fourth Corps. Inclosure. Report of casualties in Second Division, Fourth Army Corps, in action of July 20, 1864, on Peach Tree Creek, Ga.

ency with which these batteries have been served throughout this campaign. Placed in every position as occasion served, sometimes on the skirmish line, again in line of battle, and at other times replying to the enemy's guns at long range, I have never called upon them in vain to repel an attack, or to silence the enemy's batteries. I have been ably and zealously seconded by the brigade commanders, Generals Kimball, Wagner, and the lamented Harker, General Bradley, Colonels Sherman and Opdycke. I wish likewise to call the attention of the commanding general to the efficiency and gallantry of my staff: Captain Tinney, at one .time assistant adjutant-general of the division; Capt. J. S. Bliss, aide-de-camp, Sixty-seventh New York Volunteers, wounded; Lieut. H. W. Jackson, aide-de-camp, Fourth New Jersey Volunteers, wounded at Kenesaw, June 27; Lieut. E. Carrington, aide-de-camp; Captain Ransom, provost-marshal, Forty-fourth Illinois; Captain Morgan, acting assistant inspector-g
They carried the work immediately in front of them with heavy loss, marching by the flank, but found themselves confronted by another and stronger work on an eminence commanding the one they had taken. They held this position for some time, but farther progress being impossible, fell back somewhat, retaining about 100 yards of the ground they had gained. Colonel McIlvain, Sixty-fourth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, was killed in this charge, Colonel Buckner, Seventy-ninth Illinois, and Lieutenant-Colonel Bullitt, Third Kentucky,wounded, and the names of many other brave officers and men close the list of casualties on this day. This day's operations demonstrated the enemy's position on the slope and crest of the ridge to be impregnable. General Harker and the officers and men of his brigade highly distinguished themselves for gallantry and good conduct. May 10, no change made except in the relative positions of the brigades, Wagner being ordered to the front; sharp picket-firing all day.

July 9, marched to Roswell to support Garrard's cavalry and occupy any ground they had gained after crossing the river. Crossed the river about dusk at Shallow Ford and relieved the cavalry, who recrossed to the north side, except their picket in front. July 10, adjusted our lines and made a t~te-de-pont. General Dodge, with two divisions of the Sixteenth Corps, arrived to-day and relieved our front line. July 11, recrossed the river and went into camp on hills near Shallow Ford. July 12, moved back to our old camp at Rottenwood Creek. July 13, crossed the river at Powers' Ferry, and formed on the left of General Wood. Remained in this position till the 18th. July 18, moved to Buck Head, my division in advance. Encountered the enemy's cavalry at Nancy's Creek and skirmished all the way with them,
