llantry, for all did their whole duty nobly. Of the enlisted men, I would make honorable mention of Private Joseph E. Warner, of Company A, for deeds of bravery and noble daring, who bore the colors and was among the first and foremost to reach the second line of rebel works, where he planted the colors on their top; but no sooner planted than he was shot and the colors fell. Corpl. John Beely, of Company H, of the color guard, seized them immediately and was severely wounded; Corpl. John S. Snook, of Company G, of the color guard, then caught them and planted them again upon the works, and by his own hand held them there till the victory was won. Sergt. Maj. Jesse Trapp was severely wounded in the arm at the opening of the charge, but remained upon the field doing his duty bravely till the works were taken. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, G. W. Kirk, Captain, Commanding. Col. George P. Este, Comdg. Third Brig., Third Div., 14th Army Corps.

n in all its parts, the men hale and hearty and in the best of spirits. The casualties of the command, after firin.g 4,232 rounds, being but 4 slightly wounded and perhaps a dozen others struck with spent balls or pieces of shell, and none prisoners of war, would not meet the ideal brilliancy of some minds, considering the long and arduous campaign, yet it is such a record that we can best afford, with the consciousness of having done the enemy as great damage as we could have done and had the result otherwise. Commanding officers of the battery have, without an exception, had the hearty co-operation of the subordinate officers, who merit equal honor with themselves for the fortitude and endurance of the command during the longest and most arduous campaign of the war. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Joseph McKNIGHT, Senior First Lieut., Comdg. Fifth Wisconsin Battery. Maj. Charles Houghtaling, Chief of Artillery, Fourteenth Army Corps.

Of this capitulation Mr. Davis wrote: As to the wisdom of the course adopted in this capitulation men did, and probably will, differ.

We gained possession of a fort, large and well constructed. We had neither a battering train nor intrenching tools to reduce it; to carry the work by storm must have cost us
