GENERAL ORDERS, Numbers 13.
HDQRS. THIRD DIV., EIGHTH ARMY CORPS, Charleston, W. Va., July 30, 1863.

The general commanding congratulates the troops of his command on the brilliant achievements of the Thirty-fourth Regiment Ohio Volunteer Mounted Infantry, the detachment of the First Virginia Cavalry, commanded by Captain Gilmore, consisting of one company under Captain Delaney, and one under Lieutenant Abraham, and such of the Second Virginia Volunteer Cavalry as took part in the recent combat at Wytheville.

The determination with which the brave Colonel Toland conducted the advance of a small force for more than 200 miles, through a mountainous country, in which almost every inhabitant was an enemy, and which was guarded by a military force more than six times greater than his own, does honor to our arms.
