This list may be incorrect in some cases but
it is very nearly correct, all the wounded thu,
were brought off except few very slightly
wounded have been sent back to Martinsburg
The l2} Rag't. acquitted itself honorably and
nobly. The rebel infantry advanced steadily
upon them with double line of battle the first
line of battle firing upon them, then the second
line passed through the first and fired while the
first loaded and passed through the second and
fired, and so on alternately thus keeping up
continuous fire upon our single line Of battle,
nevertheless our men held their ground and dc,
liyered steady and constant fire until they
were outfanked on both wings and their ranks
were fearfully deeilnated.
This they done almost without officers, MAJOR
Kellogg. horse was struck almost at the begin
ming of the battle in quick succession with q
fragment Of shell and two minnie balls and
fell to the ground. But the Major on foot stood
by his men and done everything in the power Of
man to do, to win victory against such fearful
odds. Adjutant McCracken was ordered to
take two companies and deplcy as skirmishers
on the left wing and was not so much exposed.
and that accounts for the small loss in Co.
and some other Companies This Regiment
was left without n mounted officer and no Com
panv with more than one Commissioned officer
and some companies without any, yet under all
these disadyantagcous, circumstances the men
stood their ground manfully and nobly. must
say that feared that the regiment would dis
grace themselves if they got into u fight under
all the disudvantageous circumstances, but
will never again have any such fear after the
rrodigics Of valor which they there performed; ;
Most Of our officers acquitted themselves like
men and soldiers. We now laying in camp
between Strawsburg and Middletown about 35
miles from Martinsburg, General Sigel is with
,is. What will be our next novel do not know.
We hear that our cause has been ever success
full in other places and on other fields and we
thank God for it, We are not scared or dis
couraged but ready to meet the enemy again
when called to do so, may God protect and save
our country, is the prayer of Your humble
servant, O. FERRIS,
Surgeon l23d o. V. I.
