Andrews, of the Forty-second Illinois volunteers, and Lieutenant Wood, of the Signal Corps, for the able, gallant, and heroic manner in which they discharged their respective duties during the engagement, always ready and willing to take any risk or make any sacrifice for the good of their country's cause. one after one my men were cut down, but still with unyielding hearts, they severely pressed the enemy, and, in many instances, forced them to give way. Here we fought alone and unsupported for two hours and twenty minutes, opposed to the rebel Gen. Wood's entire division, composed of fifteen regiments and a battery of ten guns. Fiercer and fiercer grew the contest, and more dreadful became the onslaught. Almost hand to hand, they fought at least five times their own number, often charging up

The Thirty-first brigade, Colonel Carlin, Thirty-eighth Illinois volunteers, commanding, composed of the Twenty-first and Thirty-eighth Illinois heroes of Pea Ridge (the Twenty-second Indiana and the Fifty-ninth Illinois volunteers) had returned the fire with terrible effect, and had added new and bright laurels to their former fame. The Seventy-fifth Illinois volunteers, under Lieut.-Colonel Bennett, were upon this line, and having a reputation to gain as soldiers, nobly did the work before them. Their loss was heavy, including Major Kilgore wounded severely. Col. Gooding, during the temporary confusion produced by a heavy flank-

I halted the command, sent bacainst three or four times their number of the best soldiers of the rebel army, and under the direction and eye of Bragg, Buckner, Polk, Cheatham, and other prominent Generals of the rebel army. If of the old troops any man flinched, I do not know ih the thickest of the fight. My Orderlies, Sergt. Damos, Emery, and the rest, behaved gallantly during the battle. Col.

Lytle, of the Seventeenth brigade, fell severely wounded, while gallantly maintaining his position on the right, and doubtless he is as much indebted to him and the brave men of his brigade, as to those whose conduct I witnessed. To the whole division I tender my sincere thanks for their gallantry on that bloody field. I also acknowledge my indebtedness to Lieut. F. J. Jones, my Assistant Adjutant-General, and to Lieut. W. P. McDowell, S. L. Hartman, D. Q. rousseau, and Harrison Millard, my regular Aids, and to W. F. G. Shanks, my volunteer Aid, for gallant bearing and efficient services rendered on the battle-field.

They attended me voluntarily, (though not their place to do so,) through the thickest of the fight.

Mitchell with his division was about getting into line of battle on the right of the hill, and it was now of more importance than ever that the hill itself should be held. As it was in the very centre of our intended line, and commanded the ground for a great distance upon both sides of the road, its possession by the enemy might be attended with the most serious consequences. It was just then that the Second Missouri, Captain Walter Hoppe commanding, a regiment which distinguished itself at Pea Ridge, came gallantly up to the rescue, and with deafening cheers advanced upon the enemy. The Second Michigan cavalrymen, reanimated by this assistance, advanced as skirmishers before the Second Missouri, and the Fifteenth Missouri came after as a support. In vain the enemy opened upon the advancing line a murderous fire. A continual storm of leaden hail raged round their ears; the Second Missouri steadily moved forward, unt
