ve the honor to report to you the part taken by my brigade on the thirtieth and thirty-first of December, in the battle of Stone River. The t engagements before Murfreesboro. On the evening of the thirtieth of December, the regiment, which was then in double column in reserve, valry in the late battle in the front of Murfreesboro: On the thirtieth December, the Fourth U. S. cavalry left camp at Stewart's Creek, leavi soon after dark. At or near ten o'clock, Tuesday morning, December thirtieth, the regiment was moved forward in double column at half-dist canister. Made another short stand at the first position of December thirtieth, and fired canister from my howitzers and six-pound smooth-bosigned a position as a reserve of the Third division on the thirtieth of December, and took no part in the engagement on our left on that dayt from the enemy but from fellow-soldiers.

tring party under command of Major Gratz, of the Sixth Kentucky cavalry, with instructions to press upon the enemy, cut off and capture his pickets, if possible, fire into his camp, and retire, after ascertaining whether he had changed position. This order was executed, and Major Gratz returned with the report that the enemy had advanced two miles in our direction. I have omitted to state that my chosen position for action was on the Springfield road, and I had, on the evening of the thirtieth December, selected a position for one section of the battery, which was placed and masked, supported by company A, Sixteenth Kentucky. The position chosen was in the angle formed by the Springfield road and Cartwright's Creek. This position commanded the Springfield road for a mile and a half, and was strengthened by a precipitous bluff on the right flank. At this point, I felt we must meet the enemy; for if they were permitted to pass it, and gain possession of a copse of timber and the com

rrival of their comrades. They were, in all, about three hundred men; not enough to establish pickets. They relied entirely on the vicinity of the gunboats for their safety and protection. The Saxon, which had brought them, still lay in the harbor, outside the bar, in shoal-water, with Commodore Rensaw's flag-ship West-field, the gunboats Clifton and Owasco, in addition to the Harriet Lane, keeping watch and ward over the silent city. Such was the condition of Galveston up to the thirtieth of December. I append a brief list of the armament of the vessels, in order to complete this part of the subject. Flag-ship Westfield, Commodore Renshaw--two nine-inch guns, four sixty-eight pounders, two rifled guns. The Harriet Lane, Captain Wainwright--three nine-inch guns, one thirty-pound rifled gun, four twenty-pounders. The Clifton, Captain Law--two nine-inch guns, four thirty-two pounders, one pivot rifled gun. The Owasco, Captain Wilson--one eleven-inch gun, one thirty-poun

Colonel J. I)e Courcy, commanding--Sixteenth Ohio, Twenty-second Kentucky, Forty-second Ohio, Fifty-fourth Indiana, infantry. Artillery--First Wisconsin, Capt. Foster, Seventh Michigan, Captain Lamphere. Having, as already mentioned, assumed command of these forces on the fourth instant, after they had retired from the neighborhood of Vicksburgh, I sailed with them, the same day, in execution of a purpose, the importance of which I had suggested to Gen. Gorman, at Helena, on the thirtieth December ultimo, on my way down the river. That purpose was the reduction of Fort Hindman, which had been laboriously and skilfully enlarged and strengthened, since the commencement of the rebellion; which formed the key to Little Rock, the capital of the State of Arkansas, and the extensive and valuable country drained by the Arkansas River, and from which hostile detachments were constantly sent forth to obstruct the navigation of the Mississippi River and thereby our communications.
