The casualties in this section were 7 men wounded, 1 horse killed, and 6 wounded.

The left section, commanded by Lieutenant Bond, remained in the position the battery first occupied until 6 a.m. It was then ordered to move to a hill half a mile distant to the left, and kept up a steady fire on the enemy's breastworks until he ceased firing. Casualties none.

I take pleasure in being able to represent the conduct of the officers and men under my command as being highly commendable.

Number of men engaged,100.

Very respectfully,

JAMES GARRITY,

First Lieutenant, Commanding Ketchum's Battery.

Brigadier General JAMES R. CHALMERS,

Commanding Second Brigadier, Withere's Div., R. W. Army of the Miss.

Report of Colonel John W. Frazer, Twenty-eighth Alabama Infantry, of operations September 16.

MUNFORDVILLE, KY., September 18, 1862.

CAPTAIN: In obedience to circular just received I have the honor to report:

On reaching the range of the guns on the fortifications on the 16th instant this command was moved in line of battle to the left of the position previously occupied by the battery of Captain Waters and halted, supporting the battery. Before the battery opened fire the regiment was ordered to move by the right flank and take position on the side of the mountain on the right of the Munfordville road. Here it rested in line for an hour or more, when, in accordance with orders, we marched to the brow of the mountain to support our skirmishers. While here we received an occasional shell from the works and were fired on by the enemy's skirmishers. Two companies from our left were then detailed to drive in the enemy's skirmishers occupying a wood in front and on the opposite side of the valley from us. This detachment, commanded by Captain John H. Turpin, Company B, moved quickly forward, and after exchanging a few shots drove in the enemy's [skirmishers], as it is reported, with some slight loss or damage to them. These woods were held by this detachment until the command was relieved from its position on the mountain by a portion of the command of Major-General Buckner. After being relieved, as above stated, I reported with my command at the foot of the mountain, and marched with the brigade to a point a half mile northeast of the works, when the brigade bivouacked for the night.

One private of Company L, wounded by a spent ball in the finger, constituted all the damage sustained by this command.

It gratifies the commanding officers to be able to say that the men and officers were calm, cool, and cheerful during the entire day and obeyed every command with great alacrity and promptness.

I have the honor, captain, to be, very respectfully,

JNO. W. FRAZER,

Commanding Twenty-eighth Alabama Regiment.

Captain P. H. THOMSON,

A. A. G., Fourth Brigadier, Res. Div., R. W. Army of the Miss.
