Gen. Logan. in his report Of the Army

heard of the repulse of the 18th Corps
division he ordered Col. Martins brigade
back to its position, and adds:
81 also ordered Gen. Dodge to send a
brigade Of the 10th Corps to the assist
ance of the right of our line. The second

Col. Mersy commanding, moved promptly
out, and conducted it to the rear Of the

Gen. Logan asked Gen. Dodge in per-

and in person he rode at its head down
the railroad until within range Of the
