Report of Major Lewis D. Warner, One hundred and fifty-fourth New York Infantry.

HEADQUARTERS 154TH NEW YORK VOLUNTEERS,
Atlanta, Ga., September 8, 1864.

COLONEL: In obedience to instructions of circular of the 6th instant, I have the honor transmit the following report of the part taken by the regiment now under my command in the various movements of the Army of Georgia, from May 4 to September 2, 1864:

Here, however, we were met by a brisk fire of the enemy, who, firing from behind the rocks which crowned the summit of the ridge, could,
