The officers and men who remained with the regiment acted well, but many of them who had been on the sick list previously, and were just returned to duty when started, being weak, were compelled to fall out during the march.

Street; particularly Captain Fauntleroy and Lieutenants Brockenbrough and Roane.

The general's attention is also called to the following-named

non-commissioned officers and privates:
