[CHAP. XLII.

M, Fourth U. S. Artillery, then lying in reserve, kindly replaced them with two howitzers from his battery, which were gallantly served with my command during the afternoon. Lieutenant Russell's battery retired from the field with my command.

I recommend that a certificate of honor be given by the general commanding to Corp. Jesse R. Dodd, Company F, Thirty-first Indiana, for gallant conduct in seizing the colors of his regiment upon the fall of the color-bearer and bravely bearing them during the residue of the battle; and also to Corpl. James J. Holliday, Company H, Ninetieth Ohio Volunteers, for a similar act in respect to his regimental colors.

The following officers of the staff were with me constantly on the field, to wit; Captain W. H. Fairbanks, (Thirty-first Indiana Volunteers), acting assistant adjutant-general; Lieutenant John A. Wright (First Kentucky Volunteers), acting aide-de-camp; Lieutenant H. Weinedel (Second Kentucky Volunteers), acting brigade inspector; Lieutenant J. B. Socwell (First Kentucky Volunteers), acting brigade commissary, and Lieutenant George R. Crow (Ninetieth Ohio Volunteers), acting topographical engineer. These staff officers were much exposed during the battles, and each acquitted himself in a faithful and soldierly manner, and has my gratitude for his assistance and good conduct.

I am, captain, very truly, &c.,

CHARLES CRUFT,

Brigadier-General, Commanding.

Captain D. W. NORTON,

Acting Assistant Adjutant-General, Second Division.
