in this fine command, which contributed so
materially to the repusc of the enemy. The
companies engaged were those of Captains
kcitt and Reed. For fourteen days, while
having the most ar,luous and laborious dulles
to perform, they had Leen constantly exposed

wearied, yet they fought with all the spiEi.
and persistence that could have beeen expec-
ted from fresh troops. Among the casualties
were Tue following:
Col. T. G. Iautsr, wounded by mimic ball
passing through the ear and back portion of
