Report of Captain James L. Finley, Tenth Mississippi Infantry, of operations September 14.

SEPTEMBER 27, 1862.

CAPTAIN: I have the honor to make the following report of the part taken in the action of September 14 by the Tenth Mississippi Regiment, 340 men, Colonel R. A. Smith commanding:

After marching from Cave City on the night of the 13th instant and arriving near the crossing of the Cave City road and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad filed to the left with and in support of Ketchum's battery. After standing in line of battle some fifteen or twenty minutes was ordered to charge the enemy's works, which order was obeyed. After being under fire some three hours a flag of truce made its appearance. Demanding the object of the flag of truce, was informed by the officer bearing said flag that it was for the purpose of clearing the field of the killed and wounded. We immediately removed our killed and wounded, arms and accouterments, buried our dead, then retired at the proper time to the Cave City road, where we were joined by the balance of the brigade and marched back to Cave City.

I beg leave to state that the conduct of George Fugel, of Company D, color-sergeant, and B. F. Bonds, of Company E, and R. B. Tatom, of Company C, color-guards, was highly commendable and worthy of notice in this report.

I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JAMES L. FINLEY,

Captain, Commanding.

Captain W. A. GOODMAN,

Asst. Adjt. General, Second Brigade, Wither's Division.
