No. 14. /
The Major General Commanding being com
pelled by wounds to relinquish, for the present,
the command of the Department, takes this op
portunity to express to the officers and men of
the Coast Division, under Brigadier John P.
Hatch, bus approbation of their good conduct
during the operations on the line of the Charles
ton Savannah Railroad, since November
last.
At the Battle of Honey Ilill, on November
30th, although unsuccessful in the attempts to
drive the enemy from his forts, the Division still
maintained the fight with unwavering steadiness
during the day, and retired from the field after
night full iu good order and unpursued. Their
losses attest their courage and discipline
At Deveaux’s Neck, near the Coosawhatchie
turnpike, on December Oth, the advance, in
number much inferior to rhe opposing force,
met the rebels in an open field, and drove them
from the ground, captured one four, forced them
to seek safety in flight, leaving their dead and
wounded in our hands, and thus occupied a po
sition from which the Railroad was under the
easy fire of our guns.
On December 9th the skirmish line forced its
way to within a few yards of the Railroad and
the forts which guarded it, remained there un
der a most galling tire until an opening had
been cut through the woods between our batter
ies and the road, and thus perfected the work so
gallantly began upon the (ith.
The Division has obeyed all orders promptly
and cheerfully, and since its co-operative uuove
mcnts with General Sherman’s Army, has vigi
lantly watched the enemy at its front 5 has
promptly seized each fortified position upon the
first indication of a proposed withdrawal on the
part of the rebels, and has thus inspired the
Commanding General with the belief that it will
continue to do so faithfully and well the work al
lotted to it in the great campaign which is being
prosecuted in South Carolina.
To Brigadier Generals Hatch and Potter, who
have commanded this foice, and to all the gal
lant officers and men under them, the Major-
General Commanding tenders his thanks for the
past, and his earnest wishes for their continued
success. J. G. FOSTER,
