he reason given for the refusal to act on this proposition can be made consistent with the enlistment of men for one hundred days, to serve in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and at Washington and vicinity. The following communication, dated twenty-second July, 1864, was made by Major-General Couch to the Secretary of war: [copy.] headquarters Department of Susquehanna, Harrisburg, July 22, 1864. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War: sir: During the recent raid into Maryland, the citizens July 22, 1864. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War: sir: During the recent raid into Maryland, the citizens of Chambersburg turned out with a determination to stand by the few soldiers present and hold the town against any cavalry force that might assault it. Five hundred citizens of York, irrespective of party, volunteered and were armed, and went down the Northern Central Railroad and repaired the bridges. In order to show you that the border citizens are beginning to realize that by united action they have the strength to protect themselves against an ordinary raiding party, enclosed I invite y
Doc. 38. battles of Tupelo, Mississippi: fought July 13, 14, and 15, 1864. Lagrange, Tenn., July 22, 1864. The expedition was composed of two divisions of infantry — the First and Third of the Sixteenth Army corps. The First commanded by Brigadier-General Joseph H. Mower, the Third by Colonel Moore, of the Twenty-first Missouri, one brigade of cavalry commanded by Brigadier-General Grierson, and one brigade of colored troops, Colonel Bouton, commanding; aggregate strength about thirteen thousand. The whole commanded by Major-General A. J. Smith. The expedition left Lagrange, Tennessee, July fifth, passing south near Salem, through Ripley and New Albany to Pontotoc, where it arrived on the eleventh. At Cherry Creek, six miles north of Pontotoc, on the evening of the tenth, the advance of cavalry encountered the enemy in force of perhaps a brigade, and skirmished with them, killing a few rebels, and having one or two on our side wounded. Before this, on the eighth, the
night and as I write at seven A. M., the whole line is firing on the centre; the firing indicates work. Cars are running all night, and every few minutes we hear the whistle of their locomotives. The movement of the Army of the Tennessee completely deceived them. They supposed it to be a cavalry raid, and were surprised to find an army on their right and rear. Brigadier-General Giles A. Smith has been assigned to the command of Gresham's division. Battle of Peach-tree Creek. July 22, 1864. The bloody campaign of Sherman has been marked by a signal proof of the unquenchable valor of his men; of their readiness to give battle at any moment; of their proof against surprise, and their tendency to whip the enemy under all circumstances and against the most discouraging odds. The tremendous rebel attack on our right, on the evening of the twentieth, was one of those rare instances in warfare where the elaborate plans of a commander for the destruction of his adversary succe
ady endeared himself to both officers and men by his high-toned bearing and gentlemanly conduct. I enclose herewith a sketch of the battle-field and reports of brigade commanders. A list of casualties has already been forward — to you. I am, Captain, Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, Joseph A. Mower, Brigadier-General Commanding. Captain J. H Hough, Assistant Adjntant-General, Right Wing Sixteenth Army Corps. Colonel McMillen's report. Memphis, Tennessee, July 22, 1864. Captain: In obedience to orders, I moved with my command (the First brigade, First division, Sixteenth Army Corps) on the morning of the first instant to the depot of the Memphis and Charleston railroad, when the Ninth Minnesota infantry, which had been temporarily assigned, joined the brigade. The troops were embarked on the cars, the artillery and train going by road, the former reaching a point near La Fayette, when we encamped for the night. On the morning of the second instant

At Kenesaw Mountain they had several engagements in June, the 33d making another fine charge, and losing 11 killed or mortally wounded, including the 2d lieutenant, C. H. Lord of Ipswich. By July 17 the 33d had been reduced to a mere skeleton regiment. The 2d Mass. was in the breastworks before Atlanta from July 22, 1864, and on the 30th Lieutenant-Colonel Morse of that regiment, being field officer of the day, surprised the enemy's pickets in his front and captured them in their rifle-pits. The regiment was then ordered to the support of the picket line and hastily threw up breastworks. They were within two hundred yards of the enemy's forts, and under a close and hot fire of his artillery, infantry and sharpshooters.

d I under Colonel Burrell, reaching Carrollton on the 17th, were ordered to Galveston, Tex., and, co-operating with the naval forces, established a post on the island. On Jan. 1, 1863, the three companies after repulsing an assault were taken prisoners. Most of the men were paroled February 18 with Chaplain Geo. J. Sanger, unconditionally released, and a parole camp was established at Bayou Gentilly, which they occupied until the termination of their service. Colonel Burrell, Surgeon A. J. Cummings, the officers of companies D, G and I, with Lieutenant Stowell of Company E, were held in prison, where Surgeon Cummings and Lieutenant Bartlett died during the summer. The remaining officers were exchanged July 22, 1864. The other three detachments, having been delayed, reached New Orleans on December 29, January 1 and 14, and were reunited and assigned to the 2d Brigade, 2d Division, 19th Corps.
