promotion for gallant and efficient conduct on previous occasions, and yesterday led his brigade against the enemy under a most destructive fire. He expresses the wish that he may receive the recognition of his service by promotion before he dies for the gratification of his family and friends, and I beg that if possible it may be done. He has been sent to City Point.
