Battle of Gaines's farm.
Brigadier-General Taylor's report.
headquarters First brigade New-Jersey volunteers, camp on James River, July 4, 1862. H. C. Rodgers, Captain and Acting Assistant Adjutant-General:
My command, by order, left our intrenched camp, on the right bank of the Chickahominy, on Friday afternoon, the twenty-seventh of June, and crossed the said stream by the Woodbury bridge.
The battle begun the day previous, had been renewed at Gaines's Farm, where we arrived about four o'clock P. M. I immediately formed my brigade in two lines, the Third and Fourth regiments in front, and the First and Second regiments in the second line.
My line was scarcely formed when the Third regiment, under the command of Lieut.-Colonel Brown, was ordered to advance forward into the woods, where a fierce combat was raging.
Col. Brown immediately formed his regiment in line of battle, led it into the woods and began a rapid fire upon the enemy.
As this was the first of my

79.-General McClellan's address.
headquarters army of the Potomac, camp near Harrison's Landing, July 4, 1862.
Soldiers of the army of the Potomac: Your achievements of the last ten days have illustrated the valor and endurance of the American soldier.
Attacked by superior forces, and without hope of reenforcements, you have succeeded in changing your base of operations by a flank movement, always regarded as the most hazardous of military expedients.
You have saved all your material, all your trains and all your guns, except a few lost in battle, taking in return guns and colors from the enemy.
Upon your march, you have been assailed day after day with desperate fury, by men of the same race and nation, skilfully massed and led. Under every disadvantage of number, and necessarily of position also, you have in every conflict beaten back your foes with enormous slaughter.
Your conduct ranks you among the celebrated armies of history.
No one will now question that ea

80.-Beauregard's retreat from Corinth.
Letter from General Granger.
see Doc. 78, page 221 ante.
headquarters cavalry division, army of the Mississippi, July 4, 1862.
I have read with mingled feelings of surprise and regret a communication signed by G. T. Beauregard, addressed to the Mobile News of the nineteenth ultimo--surprise, that facts so patent and so easily susceptible of proof, should be denied by him; and regret, that so weak, wicked and unholy a cause as is this cursed rebellion, should have rendered utterly false and unscrupulous a man whom, for fifteen years, I have always associated with all that was chivalric, high-minded and honorable.
The pursuit from Corinth I led with one brigade of my cavalry and a battery, leaving Farmington at noon on the thirtieth day of May.
On the evening of the same day I came upon the rear-guard of the enemy, whom I found strongly posted in the bottom of Tuscumbia Creek, eight miles south of Corinth.
The next day th

81-army of the Tennessee.
Report of General J. A. McClernand of the operations of the reserve corps from the battle of Shiloh to the evacuation of Corinth.
headquarters reserve corps, army of the Tennessee, camp Jackson, July 4, 1862. Major-General H. W. Halleck, Commanding Department of the Mississippi:
my report of the part taken by my command, consisting of the First division of the Army of the Tennessee, in the battle of Shiloh, explains how the enemy was driven from my camp on the seventh and forced with great loss to abandon the ground he had gained on the sixth of April.
I will not dwell upon the incidents of that great event now, it would be supererogatory to do so. They have passed into glorious and imperishable history, and there let them rest.
Devoting my attention during the interval to measures necessary to repair the consequences of a protracted and sanguinary battle, and to restore the vigor and efficiency of my command; and having prepared the way

142.-operations at Vicksburgh, Miss.
General Williams's official reports.
headquarters Second brigade, Vicksburgh, July 4, 1862.
Captain: Leaving the Twenty-first Indiana, Sixth Michigan, a section of Everett's battery and McGee's cavalry, and taking with me the Thirtieth Massachusetts, Ninth Connecticut, Seventh Vermont and Fourth Wisconsin, regular Nims's battery and two sections of Everett's, I left Baton Rouge on the morning of the twentieth of June; arrived off Elles Cliff in the afternoon of the twenty-second, where I found three gunboats awaiting my approach.
To cover the transports in passing the cliffs I landed, so as to occupy all the woods leading from the cliffs to the interior, and cut off two field-guns reported to be in position on the cliffs.
The Thirtieth Massachusetts and two guns of Nims's made a touring march of eight miles, while the Fourth Wisconsin, with skirmishers in advance, followed by the Ninth Connecticut and four guns of Nims's and tw
