Eighteenth Ohio Volunteers, and 1 of Company D, Ninth Michigan Volunteers. Two are wounded dangerously and the others slightly. I send list of wounded.

Drs. Johnson and Mills, surgeons Eighteenth Ohio Volunteers, arrived at midnight and at once proceeded to give all possible attention to the wounded. At daylight Drs. Stimmel and Sabine, Twenty-sixth Ohio Volunteers, arrived from McMinnville, and assisted in attentions to the wounded and suffering. To all the gentlemen my thanks are due for their promptness, industry, and skill in ministering to the wounded.

We captured 8 horses, 3 saddles, and 30 guns.

The conduct of all the officers and men of the command was such as to compel my administration. They fought from the first with great coolness, bravery, and determination. The enemy outnumbered us as nine to one.

I have the honor to be, your obedient servant,

H. R. MILLER,

Captain Eighteenth Ohio Volunteers, Commanding.

HEADQUARTERS FIFTEENTH BRIGADE,
Near McMinnville, Tenn., August 31, 1862.

I ordered my command forward at a double-quick, which they obeyed cheerfully, although they had marched several miles at quick-time without water. I discovered when about 400 or 500 yards distant from the junction of the roads that General Forrest had formed his command in line of battle to receive my attack. I immediately ordered Lieutenant Estep, commanding Eighth Indiana Battery, to take up a position on an elevated piece of ground in the field to the left of the road, with instructions to commence firing, and the advance guard (Companies A and F, Captains James and Peatman, of the Twenty-sixth Ohio), under Major Degenfeld, to deploy in front of the artillery on the low ground, advance, and commence firing. In the mean time Lieutenant-Colonel Young, commanding the Twenty-sixth Ohio Regiment, agreeably to instructions, formed his regiment in rear of the advance guard and followed it closely in line of battle. After firing a few rounds the enemy's lines gave way in the center. His right wing (the Texan Rangers and
