On General Mercer's Left, June 9, 1864-6.30 p.m.

General VAUGHAN,

Commanding Infantry:

GENERAL: My scouts observing the right of the enemy's line saw them move a force of infantry (about one division) and a brigade of cavalry toward their left from their position in front of Leverett's gin. Pickets of the enemy are in the same position, and a force (strength not known) still near Leverett's gin. It is certain they are not extending their line to the right, but rather, I think, moving to the left. The enemy is not advancing from Davis' house.

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

L. S. ROSS,

Brigadier-General.

GENERAL FIELD ORDERS,
HDQRS. ROSS' BRIGADE, No. 1. JACKSON'S CAVALRY DIVISION, In the Field, Ga., June 9, 1864.

I. Captain Gause, of the Third Regiment Texas Cavalry, who was placed in arrest to-day because of the shameful conduct of his company in the presence of the enemy, is hereby restored to his command, and the brigadier-general expresses the hope that no such disgraceful behavior as he witnessed to-day will ever again tarnish the bright name which this truly gallant company has heretofore acquired. The disorderly manner with which the company fled from its positions upon the approach of the enemy's skirmishers was exceedingly disreputable, and had not the brigade commander, in company with officers of Lieutenant-General Hardee's staff, been present and witnessed it, he could not have believed that men whose past history is one of gallant deeds would have behaved so shamefully. It is the remembrance of their
