directed each battery; how the men could have been more heroic, noble, and true than all were; how commanders and subalterns could surpass these noble men.

The ammunition used by the division artillery was about 2,450 rounds. The loss of material wa 94 horses, 2 empty caissons (by horses being killed), and I gun-carriage broken, but gun secured.

In officers and men we lost First Lieutenant J. E. Dimick, Battery H, First U. S. Artillery, killed; Second Lieutenant Isaac Arnold, Battery k, Fourth U. S. Artillery, wounded. Battery K, Fourth U. S. Artillery, 7 men killed and 37 wounded; Battery H, First U. S. Artillery, 2 men killed and 18 wounded, and Battery D, First New York Artillery, 2 men killed and 12 wounded.

Before closing, I wish to call the attention of the general commanding to the following officers as especially worthy of promotion, by brevet of otherwise, for their very gallant and meritorious conduct at the battle of Chancellorsville on the 2nd and 3rd instant: First Lieutenant F. W. Seeley, Battery K, Fourth U. S. Artillery; First Lieutenant George B. Winslow, Battery D, First New York Artillery, and Second Lieutenant J. A. Sanderson, Battery H, First U. S. Artillery.

CAPTAIN: I have the honor to make the following report of the part taken by the battery under my command in the recent active operations of the army:

At 5.30 p. m. orders were received to move to the front - where a heavy engagement was evidently taking place - in the shortest possible time.
