[826] have repeatedly dismounted guns and blown up limbers and caissons of rebel batteries during the campaign. The practice has been remarkable in every battery for accuracy, and I think I can safely say that no batteries in the service surpass those of the Fourteenth Corps in precision of firing or in rapidity of maneuvering. I cannot close my report without acknowledging the prompt and efficient assistance rendered me by the division chiefs of artillery, Captains Drury, Estep, and Barnett, during the campaign.¹

Respectfully submitted.

Charles Houghtaling, Major and Chief of Artillery, Fourteenth Corps. Bvt. Maj. Gen. J. C. Davis
, Commanding Fourteenth Army Corps.
