Of the endurance and patience of the officers and men of this command during the tedious marches and of their heroism and gallantry upon every battle-field I cannot speak too highly.

I cannot close this report without speaking in high terms of the officers of my staff-Captain Childs, Captain Denny, Lieutenant Dowd, and Lieutenant Ripple-for their heroic conduct.

I have the honor to be, major, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

THOS. O. OSBORN,

Colonel Thirty-ninth Illinois Volunteers,

LIEUTENANT: In accordance with circular from headquarters First Brigade, First Division, Twenty-fourth Army Corps, dated April 14, 1865, I have the honor to herewith submit the operations of my command since leaving the north of the James.

Started from camp the evening of 27th of March, 1865; marched all night, crossing both the James and Appomattox Rivers; arrived at the Second Army Corps encampment March 29, 1865, relieving part of that corps. Left camp the evening of the 2nd [1st] instant; marched to the left on Hatcher's Run; prepared for a fight. April 3 [2] was ordered to support Sixth Army Corps, and during the day made, with our division, a charge on Fort Gregg, within the enemy's line. Lost 16 killed, 45 wounded. Took up the line of march the 4th [3rd] instant along with the army.

At a skirmish near Appomattox Court-House, April 9, 1865, there was 1 commissioned officer and 6 enlisted men wounded.

There has been but very little straggling during the late march.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
HOMER A. PLYMPTON,

Captain, Thirty-ninth Illinois, Commanding Regiment.

Lieutenant LE ROY DOWD,

Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.
