d as to preserve the unit in battle or associated action in repulse or advantage: It is not for me to pass eulogy upon the First Brigade, of the Third Division. I only ask justice for and mention honorably of its works; for, under the skillful and watchful eye of its division commander, it has performed all acts worthy of honorable mention, and I, in all trustworthiness and candor, leave the same in his hands. Believe me, captain, though the month of September, enjoyed in peace and glorious recollections in the empire city of the empire State of the South, finds the battalions of the Fairst Brigade shorn of half their numbers, yet the old unconquerable spirit is in the ranks, ready at all times and seasons to battle for national liberty, national peace, national power, and the national unity of half a hemisphere. Respectfully submitted. C. T. Hotchkiss, Colonel Eighty-ninth Illinois Infantry, Comdg. Brigade. Capt. M. P. Bestow, Assistant Adjutant-General, Third Division.

When we advanced the enemy's troops appeared in the main line, clearing it for action, by throwing down the arbors and formed in line of battle. These troops, or two regiments, appeared to move up from the rear opposite our left, and, filing left at their works, took position on the double-quick. My advance was under the immediate direction of Major Kidder, Eighty-ninth Illinois, picket officer of the day, who exhibited most commendable prudence, skill, and energy. My loss was 1 captain severely wounded. Enlisted men-killed, 4; wounded, 10; missing, 2. Total, 17. I am, captain, very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. H.

elps, and Hale, and last, but not least, Lieut. and Adjt. J. M. Grosh and Sergt. Maj. B. O'Connor. I cannot let the occasion pass without bearing testimony to the zeal and efficiency of Surg. H. B. Tuttle and Assist. Surg. P. R. Thombs, both of whom freely exposed their lives to assist the wounded and assuage the pains of the dying. Surgeon Tuttle succumbed to the arduous toil and incessant devotion opposite Atlanta and is still sick in hospital. Surgeon Thombs continued to the final end and has won a name (with the Eighty-ninth) for skill and humanity second to none in the Army of the Cumberland. I respectfully refer to the accompanying schedule, marked A, for all the particulars in reference to the names, rank, &c., of the killed, wounded, and missing. All of which is respectfully submitted by your obedient servant, Wm. D. Williams, Lieut. Col. 89th Illinois Infty. Vols., Comdg. Regiment. Lieut. W. McGRATH, A. A. A. G., First Brig., Third Div., 4th Army Corps.
