The Quartermaster and Commissary departments where well managed during the expedition by their respective chiefs, Major J. A. Harman and Major W. J. Hawks. For further information respecting the detailed movement of troops, and conduct of individual officers and men, I would respectfully call your attention to the accompanying official reports of other officers. Two maps, by Mr. J. Hotchkiss,--one of the route of the army during the expedition, and the other of the battle-field,--are transmitted herewith. In order to render thanks to God for the victory at Cedar Run, and other past victories, and to implore His continued favor in the future, divine service was held in the army on the fourteenth of August.

conspicuous conduct of some of the officers and men, after the regiment became broken, and was acting in independent squads, deserves to be particularly noticed. Captain P. F. Frazier, of company E, individually took a Yankee Captain, a Sergeant, and two privates, while they were retreating from our forces, and delivered them in person (and without any other guard than himself) to General Jackson. Lieutenant A. W. Edgar, of company E, Color-Sergeant W. H. Powell, Sergeant C. S. Davis, Dr. J. B. Patton, and Surgeon Stewarts, only two of the party having fire-arms, one having the colors, and the Lieutenant his sword, at the instance of Lieutenant-Colonel Gardner, went beyond our lines after the fight, and captured a Yankee picket of one Sergeant and twelve privates, all of whom were armed when they were captured. They brought them to the Fourth Virginia volunteers, and delivered them to the guard. My regiment went into the battle with less than one hundred and thirty men, rank and fi

a short time, and fell back some two hundred yards, where we bivouacked for the night. While the skirmishers were out, they brought in a number of prisoners, and captured some horses, mules, &c. I take pleasure in commending the good order and conduct of the officers and men of this regiment, which was all that I could wish. I am under obligations to Captain Gibson, of company D, for his services, acting as Major on the day of the engagement, and rendered me good service. Lieutenant Kent Ewing, acting as Adjutant of this regiment, rendered efficient aid by his brave conduct and promptness in carrying out my orders. The following is the list of casualties: Company A. Privates S. S. Rider and E. S. Crockett, killed. Company C. Sergeant James P. Kelly, wounded-finger shot off; private William Boyd, wounded — end of thumb shot. Company D. Privates J. Farrow, wounded in side; D. S. Allison, wounded in thigh. Company E. Private William Richardson, killed. Compa
&c., During the night, a portion of the enemy's cavalry fired upon our pickets, and attempted to cut off our train of wagons. Our regiment was ordered to support the pickets, which it did, lying on its arms nearly all night. Some time after midnight our main guard was driven in, and the regiment double-quicked half a mile to meet the enemy. There was a sharp skirmish for a few minutes, and the enemy were routed. We took one prisoner and captured two horses. During this skirmish, Lieutenant Trice, of company G, was badly wounded in the neck. Lieutenant Winston, of company A, was also wounded. The army, or at least one portion of it, had a long and distressing march on the ninth, to the field where, on that evening, was fought the battle of Cedar Creek--distressing on account of the excessive heat, and scarcity of good water. The brigade reached the battle-field about four o'clock. This regiment, which had been on the left during the day, was detached and sent to the right,
uld see, had fallen back, and the enemy were advancing up the slope of the hill. I saw at once the critical position in which we were placed. The Twelfth Georgia regiment, the four companies of the Fifty-second Virginia regiment, with Lieutenant-Colonel Skinner, and a part of the Fifty-eighth Virginia regiment, under Major Kasey, of my own brigade, had not given way, and Colonel Thomas's brigade was still left on my right. These troops were then isolated and in an advanced position, and had t is in front, with his men deployed as skirmishers, I feel secure against an ambuscade. I respectfully and earnestly recommend him for promotion to the position of Brigadier-General. Lieutenant-Colonel Terrell, of the same regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel Skinner, commanding the Fifty-second Virginia regiment; Lieutenant-Colonel Jackson, commanding the Thirty-first Virginia regiment, (severely wounded;) Major Kasey, commanding the Fifty-eighth Virginia regiment; Major Higginbotham, commanding th

General Winder was met with the head of his column just crossing the branch of Cedar Creek, half a mile in my rear. A short time after Lieutenant Early was sent to General Winder, I sent Major A. L. Pitzer, a volunteer Aid, to ask that some pieces of artillery should be sent up. Before this request could be y exhibited by Colonel Taliaferro, of the Twenty-third Virginia regiment, who I saw urging his men on. My staff officers, Major P. Hall, A. A. General, Lieutenant S. H. Early, A. D. C., and Major A. L. Pitzer, volunteer A. D. C., displayed great courage and energy in carrying my orders under fire, and in rallying and encouragin

At this time we had gotten to the right of the wood. Here we received orders to halt and remain until late, when we were ordered to the road to follow in the pursuit. My loss in killed was only two; in wounded, eleven; and in missing, two--making a total of fifteen. The officers and men behaved well. Lieutenant-Colonel Gray and Major Cole, Twenty-second, and Captain Ashford, Thirty-eighth, handled their men skilfully, showing great coolness. Captain Ashe, my Assistant Adjutant-General, deserves notice for his conduct, being found at every point almost at the same time, directing the men. Lieutenant Young, my Aid-de-camp, acted with his usual efficiency. Language cannot express the appreciation I have for his services in action. Very respectfully, W. D. Pender.
