were two to one. At about dark we were relieved from the line by the Twenty-sixth Illinois Infantry. Loss sustained during this engagement was 1 lieutenant killed, 1 lieutenant and 2 men wounded. On the 3rd we lay in reserve, and on the 4th we were ordered upon the front line. This day Captain Ramsey was killed, and the campaign virtually closed.

I am unable to report the number of the enemy the command has placed hors de combat form killed and wounded. We have captured prisoners from the enemy, unwounded, 433. Am unable to give the number of wounded captured; however, it was not inconsiderable.

I, in conclusion, make the following summary of our casualties during the campaign: Commissioned officers-killed, 7; wounded, 4. Enlisted men-killed outright, 30; since died of wounds, 7; wounded, yet alive, 121. Total killed and wounded, 169. Prisoners captured from us, 1; total, 170.

I have the honor, captain, to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

ISAAC N. ALEXANDER,

Lieutenant-Colonel, Commanding Regiment.
