suance of orders moved my command in position
on the right of the Seventeenth Army Corps, which
was the extreme right of the army in the field on
the night and morning Of the 9th and 28th inst,
and during my advance in lire Of battle 10 a more
desirable position, we were met by the Rebel IN
fsntrv from Hardce's and Lees Corps, who made q
desperate and determined attack at half past eleven
O'Clock. AM, on the 18th. Ny lines were only
protected by logs and rails hastily thrown m front
of them. The first onset was received and checked,
and the battle commenced and lasted until about
three O'Clock in the afternoon. During that time
six successive charges were made, which were six
times gallanty repulsed each time with fearful loss
TO the enemy.
Later in the evening my lines were several times
assaulted vigorously, but each time with like re-
suit. The most of the fighting occurred on Gems.
Harrow's and Smiths front, which formed the cen
tire and right Of the command The troops could
not have displayed more courage nor greater deter
minaton not to yield. Had they shown less, they
would have been driven from their position. Brig
Gems Woods, Harrow, and Smiths division COM
mandsare entitled to equal credit for gallant conduct
and skill in repeng the assault
My thanksare due TO Maj.-Gens. Blair and Dodge
for sending me reinforcenlents at time when they
were much needed.
My losses are 80 killed, 439 wounded and G3 miss
ing; aggregate $40. Tie division Of Gen. Harrow
captured five battle flags. There were about 1900 or
1000 muskets captured. One hundred and six pri-
soners were captured exclusive of 73 wound
ed, who have been removed TO hospitals and are
being taken care of by our Surgeons.
Five hundred and syty-fve rebels up to this time
have been buried, and about two hundred are sup
posed to be yet unburied.
Large numbers were undoubtedly carried away
during the night, as the enemy did not withdraw
until nearly daylight.

Judgment, less than six thousand or seven thousand

HEADQUARTERS, ARMY OF TIE TENNESSEE
Before Atlanta, Ca, July %, 1864.
In forwarding the within report wish to express
my high qualification with the conduct of the
troops engaged never saw better conduct in bat
tie. The General commanding the 18th Army
Corps, though i'll and much worn was indeiatigable,
and the success of the day is much attributable
20 him as to any one man. His officers and in fact
oil the officers of this Army that commanded my
observation co-operated promptly and heartily with
him. o. 0. HOWARD, Major General.
