prisoners did. Said he: "How could we fight? You got on our end" (i.e., flank). Company A, of the Thirty-third Wisconsin, broke through their line and charged them down their flank, perfectly enfilading their line at the stone fence.

All the regiments of my command behaved splendidly. In the charge on the Hillsborough pike all moved in line as on parade.

Colonel L. M. Ward, of the Fourteenth Wisconsin, commanding First Brigade, and Colonel L. Blanden, of the Ninety-fifth Illinois, commanding Second Brigade, both deserve especial notice; each handled his brigade with skill and judgment. I desire also to mention favorably the following members of my staff: Captain J. H. Wetmore, Ninety-fifth Illinois Infantry, acting assistant adjutant-general; Captain H. M. Bush, Ninety-fifth Illinois Infantry, aide-de-camp and picket officer; Captain W. L. Scott, Thirty-third Wisconsin Infantry, acting assistant inspector-general; First Lieutenant William McNeil, Eighty-first Illinois, ordnance officer; and Major L. Dyer, Eighty-first Illinois Infantry, surgeon-in-chief. Each of these officers were at all times during the two days' battle at their proper placed, doing their duty bravely, gallantly.

For further particulars I refer you to the reports of my brigade commanders, which are herewith respectfully forwarded.
