In the Field, July 2, 1864.
To Colonel Oscar Malnsros, Aajutans General
Of Minnesota:
GENERAL:-I have the honor to report the
arrival to-day of seventy-eight CS) drafted men
and substitutes, who were accidentally found
in the detachment barracks at Chattanooga. On
the 30th, by an officer of this regiment Capt,
Cilley), and were by him brought out to the
regiment to-day. ..
The men have been assigned to companies
and taken their places in the works within
easy range of the enemy's rifles.
The men look well considering the fatigue
of their journey. and go on duty with cheer
full readiness which promises, under the cir
cumstances, to make old soldier of them in ,
short time.
Recruits learn fast under fire. Those we en-
listed last spring are already veterans: the.
had the advantage, however, of three weeks
drill at Rnggold before the active campaign
commenced. while now we are in the front
with but little opportunity OF instructing new
men in the first lessons of soldering. '
The regiment will muster now, OF officer
and men, about 400 present; the detachmen
OF new men nearly replacing in numbers tn
men who were on the 23rd ordered to Chatta
nooga for discharge at the expiration of thei
term of service. ..., 4s
lam not without hope that by additional re
Inducements the organization of the regimen
may be maintained; without them. the dis
charge OF men by expiration of term of service
will soon reduce it below the consolidation
limits 30 "'' sl1a a.G17V %
lam very respectfully your. obedient seryt.
