The thanks of this division are given to Colo

which they led their men lgaia,t the enemy. The
conduct of Captain Kerr, lj,h Pennsylvania
Cayalry-the daring with which he peretrlted the
enemy's line of battle, taking a blttlo-fig n his
dash after the Rebel Cummauder--is worthy cf
our highest admiration. With his horse killed
