which occurred in my regiment in the battle
of Petersburg. one week ago to-day. The
regiment went with the blue cross Of the Sd
division, 9th corps. wherever 1t went during
the day, was inside the rebel lines as soon az
any other regiment Of the division, assisted
in the capture by assault Of three forts with
many guns and prisoners, and conducted it.
self throughout the engagement with as much
stesdiness and courage as were evinced by
any other command. 1t has been highly

men did all that could be required Of them.

spicuous for their GOODNESS, bravery and skill.

wound, was captured. robbed of all his pro-

the morning Of the 7th il had suffered no
further losses in battle. The last time | saw
