The conduct # Col. N. l. Smit h and

Col. Whittlesey's was not behind them.
To them all belong the brightest honors of
victory. ''.' q 9H.ss sdi

and their field, staff and company officers.
Aside from the courage they all displayed,
one point in their conduct is especially to
be noted and initiated mean the skill
each one showed in avoiding unnecessary
exposure of his soldiers They are proud
ofwhat the Division. achieved, and. like my
self, they are equally proud that it was all
done with so little loss Of their brave men

was greater than Donelson, and conse-

After the hattie Of Donelson | took
pleasure in honorably mentioning two Of
my Orderlies; one of them Thomas w.
Simpson. of company Attn United States
Cavalry. | again call attention to this
gallantry as deserving reward. Along
with him ! place Albert Kaufman. Ser
geant in the same company, who was Of
great service to me, and has every quality
that goes to make practical officer
Finally it is rare to find one Of his
grade IN the constant anil full performance
Of his peculiar duties that, as matter of
justice. passing tribnte is due the Rev.
John d. Rogers, Chaplain of the 23l In
diana. After the battle he was unweared
in his attention to the wonnde'. and that
the resting places ofthe deal Of his regi-
ment might not be forgotten, he collected
their bodies and buried them tenderly. and
with prayer and every religious rite. and
in this, as far as my knowledge goes. he
was as singular as he was christian. ~ +.
