FALLING CREEK, July 21, 1862.

GENERAL: In forwarding my reports of the different engagement of the division which I commanded I have to request of you, as a reward to the regiments who most distinguished themselves, that an order be given authorizing the following regiments to inscribe on their banners as follows:

1st, the Third Georgia Volunteers, "South Mills;" 2nd, the First Louisiana Volunteers, "King's School-House;" 3rd, the Fourth Georgia Volunteers, "King's School-House;" 4th, the Twenty-fifth North Carolina, "King's School-House;" 5th, the Forty-ninth Virginia Volunteers, "King's School-House."

The whole division was sent forward in the battle at Malvern Hill on July 1, but as the brigades were sent to report to other commanders, I am unable to make a special report of that action.

I remain, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

BENJ. HUGER,

Major-General.
