TYLER’S AGUE AND FEVER PILLS.
-NO CUKE NO PAY.
A CERTAIN, safe and effectual care for
Ague aud Fever, in all its varied forms. Al
i no, an excellent Tonic in Dyspepsia. Palpitation
of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Neuralgia, Nerv-
J ous and other diseases, which arise from a weak
. and debilitated condition of the system.
These pills are prepared by Dr. G. K. Tyler, a
regularly educated physician, who from many
years experience, can confidently recommend
! them as the best remedy for Ague and Fever ever
I offered to the public ; having frequently tested
i their great curative power upon those who had
long suffered under the troublesome and danger
ous diseases.
Several eminent physicians who have obtained
a high standing for their'successful treatment of
Ague and Fever, use this preparation, and assert
that they have never known a single instance
where it was taken as directed, that it did not
effect a permanent and lasting care.
These pills contain neither mercury or arsenic,
nor any thing that can injure the system —but on
the contrary, inay betaken where a medicine of
this kind is needed, not only with perfect safety,
■ but with the most decided advantage.

VEGETABLE AMTI-BILLIOUS FAMILY PILLS,
For the Cure of Billions Fever, Yellow Fever,
Remittent and Intermittent Fevers, Inflam
matory, Nervous and Putrid Fever, Pain in
the Head, Side, Back and Stomach „• Inflam
mation of the Brain, Stomach, Bungs, Liver,
Kidneys, Throat and Chest, 4-c.
DR. GORDON’S PILLS are truly the sick
man’s friend. No Traveller or Family
should be without them. Their timely adminis
tration will prevent much pain and suffering, and
save many valuable lives.
These Pills were compounded by Dr. Gordon
after years ofstudy and careful observation upon
the nature of different medicines, and the effect
which they produce upon different constitutions
ui various forms of disease. They have been ex
tensively used by some of our most eminent
Physicians, and by many private families for sev
eral years ; and such has been the satisfaction
which they have given, that it is firmly believed
that the vegetable kingdom does not furnish any
materials for a purgative medicine, which.sur
passes forgencral use, those of which these pills
are composed -They do not -contain Calomel,
Mercury or any mi neral preparation ; but arc
composed entirely of concentrated vegetable
extracts, carefully prepared and so combined as
to lie Certain, Safe, and Easy in their operation
—should it be otherwise, the stomach and bowels
contain foul and acrid bilious matter —showing
gre.it necessity for purgative medicine.
Tiie Bowels being the principal channel through
which a great portion of the impurities of the sys
tem are discharged, it is evident that whatever
acts beneficially on them must be conducive to
health.
If a physician is called to a patient, what is the
first thing done ? He prescribes a dose or two of
purgative medicines; and then, after a day ot
two, if the patient is no better, he gives him an
other dose of purgative medicine, and so -on-; do
ing some other little tilings—but the main reli
ance for a cure is upon the effect produced by
purgative medicines. Tlrerefore ifyou are sick
delay not, but take a few doses of Dr. Gordon’s
Vegetable Family Pills, and-be again restored to
health. For sale by

afflicted, it is PETER’S VEGETABLE PILL’S —
the vast number of persons they have cured of
Liver Disease, Dyspepsia, Sick Headache, Bilious,
aud all diseases arising from a derangement of the
organs of the stomach, warrants tiie assertion that
if any person thus afflicted will use them, they
cannot fail to cure. Thousands of cases have
been cured, and their certificates could be pub
lished, but for the want of space we must forbear,
and say, the trial of a box will be more satisfac

HAMILTON FEMALE SEMINARY.
TIIE undersigned, citizens cf Hamilton,
take great pleasure in announcing to Parents
residing in Harris and the adjoining counties,
who wish to have their daughters thoroughly in
structed, morally and intellectually, that they
have secured the services of Miss Mary A. and
Miss Amanda C. Wilson, for the ensuing scho
lastic year. In addition to the facilities usually
enjoyed at other institutions for the acquirement
of knowledge, the Hamilton Female Seminary
will afford many that are peculiar. Not the least
of these advantages, in the opinion of the sub
scribers, is that it wili be under the exclusive con
trol of young ladies, who are sufficiently experi
enced, and who are deficient in no qualificatiok
requisite to a faithful and judicious performance
ofthe task they will undertake. It will be ob
served by a glance at the list of studies pursued
in the different departments, that no useful brancli
of education is omitted, and that the pupils of
this Seminary will have no cause to lament the
inadequacy of the Course. But besides this, the
Misses Wilson have exhibited to the subscribers
the most -satisfactory testimenskdo -of their exulted
moral worth, amiability of manners, -and their
competency to iinpnrt a full knowledge ofthose
sciences included in the subjoined course ofrn
struction. Parents who reason correctly upon
the subject of education, will estimate very high
ly these unrivaled advantages.

The above Periodicals are reprinted in New

paper, and are faithful copies of the originals—
Blackwood's Magazine being an exact fae-simile
ofthe Edinburgh edition.
The wide-spread fameofthese splendid Peri
odicals renders it needless to say much in tiieir
praise. As literary organs, they stand far in ad
vance of any works of a similar stamp now pub
lished, while the political complexion of each is
marked by a dignity, candor and forbearance not
often found in works of a party character.
They embrace the views of -the three great
in England—fUliig, Tory and Radical.—
Blackwood” and the ‘‘London Qaarterly” are
Tory; the “Edinburgh Review,” HTiig: and the
“Westminster” Radical. The “ Foreign Quar
terly” is purely literary, being devoted princi
pally to criticisms on foreign Continental works.
The prices of the re-prints are less than one
third of those ofthe foreign cop : es, and while
they are equally got up, they afford all that ad
vantage to the American over the English reader

FROM MONTEREY.
Official despatches from Gen. Taylor.
Head-Quarters Armt of Occupation, J
Camp near Monterey, Oct. 9, 1846. S
Sir—l have now the honor to submit a de
tailed report of the recent operations before.
Monterey, resulting iu the capitulation of that
city.
The information received on the route from
Cerralvc, mid particularly the continual appear
ance in our front ofthe Mexican cavalry, which
had a slight skirmish with our advance at the
village of Ramas, induced the belief, as we ap
proached Monterey, that the enemy would defend
that place. Upon reaching the neighborhood of
the city on the morning of the 19th of Septem
ber, this belief was full ■on Armed. It was ascer
tained that he occupied the town in force; that
a large work had been constructed commanding
all the northern approaches ; and that the Bish
op’s Palace and some heights in its vicinity near
the Saltillo road, had also been fortified anti occu
pied with troops and artillery. It was known
from information previously received, that the
eastern approaches were commanded by several
small works in the lower edge of the city.
The configuration ofthe heigbtsand gorges m
the direction of the Saltillo road, as visible from
the point attained by our advance on the morning
of the 19th, led me to suspect that it was prac
ticable to turn all the works in that direction,
and thus cut the enemy’s line of communication.
After establishing my camp at the “Walnut
Springs,’’ three miles-from Monterey, the nearest
suitable position, it was, accordingly, my first
care to order a close reconnoisance of the ground
in question, which was executed on the evening
of the 19th by the engineer officers under the
direction of Major Mansfield. A reconnoisance
ofthe eastern approaches was at the same time
made by Capt. Williams, topographical engin
eers. The examination made by Major Mans
field, proved the entire practicability of throwing
forward a column to the Saltillo road, and thus
turning the position ofthe enemy. Deeming
this to be an operation of essential importance,
orders were given to Brevet Brig. Gen. Worth,
commanding the second division, to march with
his command on the 20th ; to turn the hill of
the Bishop’s Palace ; to occupy a position on
the Saitilio road, and to carry the enemy’s de
tached works in that quarter, where practicable.
The first regiment of Texas volunteers, under
command of Col. Hays, was associated with the
second division on this service. Capt. Sanders,
engineers,oand Lieut. Meade, topographical en
gineers, were also ordered to report to Gen.
Worth for duty with his column.
At 2 ®., on the -20th,- the second
division took up its march. -It was soon discov
ered, by officers who were reconnokering the
town, and communicated toGen. Worth, that its
movement had been perceived, and that the ene
my was throwing re-inforcements towards the
Bishop’s Palace and the height which commands
it. To divert his attention as far as practicable,
the first division, under Brig. Gen Twiggs, and
field division of volunteers, under Major Gen.
Butler, were displayed in front of the town until
dark. Arrangements were made at the same
time to place in battery during the night, at a
suitable distance from the enemy’s main work,
the citadel, two howitzers, and a ten
inch mortar, with a view to open a fire on the
following day, when I proposed to make a diver
sion in favor of Gen. Worth’s movement. The
4th infantry covered tins battery during the night.
Gen. Worth had in the meantime reached and;
occupied for the night, a defensive position just
without range of-a battery above the Bishop’s
Palace, having made a reconnoisance as for as
the Saltillo road.
Before proceeding to report the operations of
the 21st, and the following days, I beg leave to
state that Ia hall mention in-detail only those
which were conducted against the eastern ex
tremity of the city, or elsewhere, under my im
mediate direction, referring you for the particu
lars ofG^.'Worth’s operations, which were en
tirely detached, to his own full report transmitted
herewith.
Early on the morning ofthe 21st, I received a
note from Gen. Worth, written at half past 9
o’clock the night before, suggesting, what I had
already intended, a strong diversion against the
centre and left of the ; town to favor his enterprise
against the heights in rear. The infantry and
artillery of the Ist division, and the field division
of volunteers, were ordered under arms and took
the direction of the city, leaving one company
of each regiment as a camp guard. The 2d dra
goons, under Lieut. CoL May, and Col. Woods’s
regiment ot Texas mounted volunteers, under
immediate direction of Gen. Henderson, were
directed to the right to support Gen. Worth, if
necessary, and to make an impression, if practi
cable, upon the upper quarter of the city. Upon
approaching, the mortar battery, tbe Ist and 3d
regiments of infantry and batalion of Baltimore
and Washington volunteers, with Capt. Bragg’s
field battery—the whole under tho command of
Lieut. Col. Garland—were directed towards the
lower part of the town with orders to make a
strong demonstration, and carry one of the ene
my’s advanced works, if it could be done without
too heavy a loss. Major Mansfield, engineers,
and Capt. Williams and Lieut. Pope,topographi
cal engineers, accompanied this column, Major
Mansfield being charged with its direction, and
the designation of the points of attack. In the
meantime the mortar, served by Capt. Kamsay,
of the ordnance, and the howitzer battery under
Capt. Webster, Ist artillery, had opened their
lire upon the citadel, which was deliberately
sustained, and answered from the work. Gen.
Butler’s division had now taken up a position in
rear of this battery, when the discharges of artil
lery, mingled finally with a -Tepid fire 6f smalt
arms, showed that Lieut. Garland’s command
had become warmly engaged. I now deemed it
necessary to support this attack, and accordingly
ordered the 4th infantry and three regiments of
Gen. Butler's division to march at once by the
left flank in the direction of the advanced-work
at the lower extremity of ti e town, leading one }
regiment (Ist Kentucky) to cover the mortar
and howitzer battery. By some mistake, two
companies of the 4th infantry did not receive
• this order, and consequently did not jointhe ad
vance companies until some time afterwards.
Lieut Col Garland’s command had approach
ed the town in a direction to the right of the ad
vanced work (No. 1.) at the northeastern angle
of the city, and the engineer officer, covered by
skirmishers, had succeeded in entering tire sub
urbs and gaining cover. The remainder of this
command now advanced and entered the town
under a heavy fire of artillery from the citadel
and the works on the left, and of musketry from
the citadel and the works on the left, and of
musketry from tbe houses and small works in
front. A movement to the right was attempt
ed with a view to gam the rear of No. 1, and
carry that work, but the troops were so much
exposed to a fire which they could not effectually
return, and had already sustained such severe
loss, particularly in officers, that it was deed ed
best to withdraw them to a more secure position.
Capt. Backus, Ist infantry, however, with a por
tion ot his own and other companies, bail gained
the* roof of * tanneiy, which looked directly
into the gorge of No. 1, and from which he pour
ed a most destructive fire into that work and
upon the strong building in its rear. This fire
happily coincided in point of ‘time with the ad
vance of a portion of the volunteer division upon
No. I, and contributed largely to the fall of that
strong and important work.
The three regiments ofthe volunteer division
under the immediate command ofMaj. Gen. But
ler. had in the meantime advanced in the direc
tion of No. I. The leading brigade, under Brig.
Gen. Quitman, continued its advance upon that
i work, proceeded by three companies ofthe 4th
infantry,-whuc Gen. Butler, with the Ist Ohio
NUMBER 50.
regiment, entered the town to the right. The
companies of the 3d infantry had advanced
within short range of the work, when they were
received by a fin; that almost in one moment
struck down one third es the officers and men,
and rendered it necessary to retire and effect a
conjunction with the two other companies then
advancing, Gen. Quitman's brigade, though
suffering most severely, particularly in the Ten
nessee regiment, continued its advance, and fin
ally carried the work in handsome stvle, as well
es the strong ‘building in its rear. Five pieces
of artillery, a considerable supply of ammunition,
and 30 prisoners, including three officers, fell into
our hands. ,Maj. Gen. Butler, with the Ist
Ohio regiment, after entering the edge of the
town, discovered that nothing was to be accom
plished in his front, and at this point, yielding to
the suggestions of several officers, I oidercd a
retrograde movement; but learning almost im
mediately from one of my staff that the battery
No. 1 was in our possession, the order was coun
termanded, and I determined to hold the battery
and defences already gained. - General Butler,
with the let ‘Ohio regiment, ‘then entered the
town at a point farther to the left, end marched
in the direction of the battery No.* 2. While
making n examination with a view toascertain
the possibility of carrying this second work bv a
storm, the general was wounded and soon after
compelled to quit the field. As the strength of
No. 2, and the heavy musketry fire Hanking the
approach, rendered it impossible to carry it with
out great loss, the Ist Ohio regiment was with
drawn from the town.
Fragments of the various regiments engaged
were now under cover of the captured battery
and some buildings in its front, and on the right.
The field batteries of Capts. Bragg and Ridgely
were also partially covered by the battery. An
incessant fire was kept up on this position from
battery No. 2. and other works on its right, and
from the citadel on all our approaches. Gen.
Twiggs, though quite unwell, joined me at this
.point, & was instrumental in causing the artille
ry captured from the enemy to be placed in bat
tery, and served by Capt. Ridgely against No. 2,
until the arrival of Capt. Webster's howitzer
battery, which took its place. In the mean time,
I directed such men could bo collected of the
Ist, 3d and 4lh regiments, and Baltimore batal
ion, to enter the-town, penetrating to the right,
and carry the 2d battery if possible. This com
mand, under Lieut. Col. Garland, advanced be
yond the bridge ‘ Purisiina,” when, finding it
impracticable to gain the rear of the 2d battery,
a portion of it sustained themselves for some
time in that advanced position ; but as no per
manent impression could be made at that point,
and the main object of the general operation had
been effected, the command, including a section
of Capt. Ridgely’s battery, which had joined it,
was withdrawn to battery No. 1. During the
absence of this column, a demonstration of caval
ry was reported in the direction of the citadel.
Capt. Bragg, who was at hand, immediately
g&llcped with hi3 battery to a suitable position,
from'which a few discharge effectually dispersed
the enemy. Capt. Miller, Ist infantry, was dis-.
patched with a mixed command, to support the
battery on this service. The enemy’s lancers
had previously charged upon the Ohio and a
part of the Mississippi regiment, near some fields
at a distance from the edge of the town, and had
been repulsed with considerable loss. A de
monstration of cavalry on the opposite side of
the river was -also dispersed in the course of the
afternoon by Captain Ridgely’s battery, and the
squadrons returned to the city. Attheapproach
of evening, all the-troops that had been engaged
were ordered back tocamp, except Capt Ridgely’*
battery, and the regular infantry of the Ist divi
sion, who were detailed as a guard for the works
during the night, under command of Lieut. Col.
Garland. One balalion of the Ist Kentuckj re
giment was ordered to reinforce this command.
Intrenching tools were procured, and additional
strength was given to the works, and protection
to the men, by working parties during the-night,
under the direction of Lt. Scarritt, engineers.
The main object proposed in thp morning had
been effected. A powerful diversion had been
made to favor the operations of the 2d division,
one of the enemy’s advanced works had been
carried, and we now had a strong fo6t-hold in
the tow-n. -But this had not been accomplished
without a very heavy loss, embracing some of our
most gallant and promising officers. Capt.
Williams, topographical engineers, Lts. Terrett
and Dillworth, Ist infantry,Lt Woods, 2d infan
try, Capts. Morris and Field, Bvt. Maj. Barbour,
Lts. Irwin and Hazlitt, 3d infantry, Lt. Hoskins,
4th infantry, Lt. Col. Watson, Baltimore Batal
ion, Capt Allen and Lt. Putnam, Tennessee
regiment, and Lt. Hett, Ohio regiment, were
killed, or have since died of wounds received in
this engagement, while the number and rank of
the officers wounded gives additional proof of
the obstinacy of the content, and the good con
duct of our troops. The number of killed and
wounded incident to the operations in the lower
part of the city on the 2Jst is3b4.
Early in the morning of this day, (21st,) the
advance of the 2d division had encountered the
enemy in force, and after a brief but sharp con
flict, repulsed him with heavy loss. Gen. Worth
ttien succeeded in gaining a position on the Sal
tillo road, thus cutting the enemy’s line of com
munication. From this, position the two heights
south of the Saltillo road wore carried in succes
sion, and the gun taken in one of them turned
upon the Bishop’s Palace. These important
successes were fortunately obtained with compa
ratively small loss • Capt. McKavett, Bth inian
'try, the only officer killed.
The 22d day of Sept, passed without any ac
tive operations inthe lower part of the city.
The citadel and other works continued to fire at
parties exposed to their range, and at the works
now occupied by ourtr ops. The guard left in
the preceding night, except Capt. Ridgely’s com
pany was relieved at mid-day by Gen. Quitman’s
brigade. • Capt. Bragg’s battery was thrown un
der cover in front of the town to repel any de
monstration of cavalry in that quarter. At
dawn of day, the height above tile Bishop's
Palace was and soon after meridian, the
Palace itself was taken and its guns turned upon
the fugitive garrison. The object for which the
2d division was detached had thus been complete
ly accomplished, and I felt confident that with a
strong force occupying tlje road and heights in
his rear, and a good position below the city in
our possession, the enemy could Hot possibly
maintain>the town.
■During the night of the 22d, the enemy evacu
ated nearly all his defences in the lower part ot
the city. This was reported to me eerlv in the
morning of the 23d by Gen. Quitman, who had
already meditated an assault upon those works. I
imnwdialely sent instructions to that officer,
leaving it to his discretion to enter the city, cov
ering his men by the houses and tvs'll, and ad
vance carefully as far as he might deem prudent.
After ordering the remainder of the troops as a
reserve, under the orders of Brig. Gen. Twiggs,
I repaired to the abandoned works, and discover
ed that a portion of Gen. Quitman’s brigade had
entered the town, and were successfully forcing
their way towards the principle plaza. I
theu ordered up the 2d regiment of Texas mount
ed volunteers, who entered the city, dismounted,
and, Under the im mediate orders of Gen. Hen
derson. co-operated with Gen.Quitinan’sbrigade.
Capt Bragg’s battery was also ordered up, sup
ported by the 3d infantry ; and after firing tor
some time ml.the cathedral, a portion of it was
likewise thrown into the city. Our troops ad
vanced from house to house, and.from square tc
square, until they reached a street, but one street
in rear of-the principal plaza, in and near which
the enemy's force was mainly concentrated.
This advance was conducted vigorously, but with
due caution, and although destructive to the ene
my, was attended with but small loss on our part.
Capt Ridgely, in tlie meantime, had served a cap
tured piece in battery No, 1 against the city,
until lhe advance ot our men rendered it impru
dent to fire in the direction of the cathediaL I
I was now satisfied that vs could operate ■©-
ccssfiilly hi the city, and that the em-tny bad
retired from the lower portion of it to make a
stand behind his bgmeades. As Gen Quitman’*
brigade had been on duty the previous night, I
determined to withdraw the troops to the evacu
ated works, and concert with Gen \Yortb>
combined attack, upon tha down. The troops
accordingly fell back deliberately in good order,
and resumed the r original positions, Gen. Quit
man’s brigade being relieved after, nightfall by
that of Gen Hamer. On my return tq camp, I
met an officer with the intelligence ‘K4 Gen.
Worth, induced by the firing in the lower part
. of the city, was about making an attack avthfe
l upper extremity* which had also leen evacuated
by the enemy to a considerable distance. Iro
gretted that this information had not reached me
before leaving the city, but still deemed it expe-
J dient to change my orders, and accordingly re
turned to camp. A note from Gen. Wortii, writ
ten at 11 o’clock, P. M., infurmed'me that he hfM
advanced to- within a short distance of the pnn
ci| al plaza, and that the mortar (which had beets
sent to his division in the morning) was doing
good execution within effective range of the ene
my’s position. i
Desiring to make no further attempts upopthe
city’ without complete concert as to the lines and
mode of approach, I instructed that officer to
sustain his advance until I could :ha*eton irrter
’ >cw with him on the following morning at Ids
head quarters. • • • i, (
Early on the morning of the 24th I received
through Col. Monroe, a communication from
Gen Ampudia. proposing to evacuate the town.;
which, with the answer, were forwarded W'ith my
first despatch I. arranged with Col. Monroe a
cessation of fire until 12 o'clock, at which hour I
would receive the answer of the Mexican'gener
al at Gen. Worth's head quarters, tp which “I
soon repaired. In the meantime., Gen. Ampudia
had signified to Gen. Worth his dcsiie fora per
sonal interview with me, to which I acceedcd,
and which finally resulted in a capitulation, plac
ing the town and the material of war, with cer
tain exceptions in our possession. A copy of
that capitulation Was transmitted with my first
despatch. * 1
Upon occupying the city, it was discovered to
be of great ustrengt:. in itself, and to have its ap
proaches carefully and strongly fortified. The
town and works were armed with .orty-two pie?
ces of cannnon, well supplied with ammunition,
and manned with a force of at least 7.000 troops
ts the line, and from 2,000 to 3.000 regulars. —
1 be force tinder my orders before Monterey, m
exhibited by the accompanying return, was 425
officers, and'6,2Bo ‘men. ‘Our artillery consisted
of one 10 inch mortar, two 24-pounder howit
zers, and four light field batteries of four guns
each—the morte.rbeing the only piece suitable
to the operations of a siege.
Our loss is twelve officers and one hundred
and eight- men. -killed; thirty one officers and
three hundred -grid thirty seven;men wounded. —
That of the enemy is not known, but is believdd
considerably to exceed our own.
I take pleasure in bringing to the notice of
the government the good conduct of the troops
both regulars and volunteers, wl.ich lias been
conspicuous throughout tho operations. I am
prou’d'to bear testimony to their coolness mnQ
constancy in battle, and the cheerfulness with
which they have , subinitted to exposure and pri
vation. To the general officers commanding
divisions—Major Generals Butler Anil Hender
son, and Brigadier Generals Twiggs atjd‘ t WorHji
—I must express my obligations for the efficie'frt
aid which they have rendered in their respec
tive commands. I was unfortunately deprived
early on the 21st,. ts the valuable services of Mat
jor General Butler, who was disabled by a wound
received in the attack on the city. Major Gen
eral Heiiderscti.'Ctrmmanding the Texas volun
teers, has give me important aid in the organiza
tion of his command, and its subsequent opera
tions. Brigadier Genera) ‘Twiggs rendered im
portant services with his division, and as the se
cond in command after Major General Butler
was disabled. Brigadier General Worth was in
trusted with an important detachment, which
rendered his operations independent of my own.
Those operations were conducted with ability,
and crowned with complete success. I desire
also t > notice Brigadier Generals Hamer and
Quitman, commanding brigades in General But
ler’s division, ‘Lieutenant Colonels Garland
and Wilson, commanding brigades in General
Twiggs division. Colonels Mitchell, Campbell,
Davis and Wood, commanding the Ohio, Ten
nessee, Mississippi, and 2d Texas regiments, re
spectively, and'Majors Lear, Allen, and Aber
crombie, commanding the 3d, 4th, and Ist regi
ments of Infantry, all of whom served under my
eye, and conducted their commands with cool
ness and gallantry against the enemy. Goloncl
Mitchell, Lieu*. Col McClung, Mississippi regi
ment, Major Lear, 3d Infantry, and Major Alex
ander, Tennessee regiment, were all severely
wounded, as were Captain I/amotte, ! lst -Infant
ry, Lieut Graham, 4th Infantry, Adjutant Arm
strong, Ohio regiment, Lieutenants Scudder
and Allen, Tennessee regiment, and Lieut. How
ard Mississippi regiment, while leading their
men against the enemy’s position on the 21st
and 23d. Alter the tall of Col. Mitchell, the
command of the Ist Ohio regiment devolved up
on Lieut. Col, W'eller; that of the 3d infantry,
after the fall of Major Lear, devolved upon in
succession upon-Captain Bainbridge anil “Capt.
Henry, the former being also wounded. Tho
following named officers have been favorably
noticed by their commanders: -Lieut. Col. An
derson, and Adjutant Hetman, “Tennessee regs
ment; Lieut. Col. McClung, Captains Cooper
and Downing. Lieutenants Patterson, Calhoun,
Moore, Russel, and Cook, Mississippi regiment;
also Sergeant Major Hcarlan, Mississijpi regi
ment, and Major Price and Capt. J. R. Smith,
unattached but serving with h. ’3;btjg.leave ,al
so to call attention to the good conduct of Capt-
Johnston, Ohio regiment, and Lieut. Hooker,
Ist artillery se-ving on .the staff* of Gen. Hamer,
and of Lieut. Nichols, 2d artillery, on that of
General Quitman. Captains Bragg and Ridge
ly served with their batteries during the opera
tions under my own observation and in part un-.
der my immediate orders, and exhibited distin
guished skill and gallantry. Capt. Webster, Ist
artillery, assisted by Licuts. Donaldson and Bow
en, rendered good service with the howitzers
battery, which was much exposed to the chcrny’*
tire on-the,2lst. ‘
From the nature of the operations, tlie 2d dra
gaonswere not brought info action, but were
usefully employed under the direction of Lieut.
Col. May as escorts, and in keeping open our
communications. The Ist Kentucky regiment
was also prevented from participating in the ac
tion of the 21st, hut rendered highly important
i service under Col. Ormsby, in covering the. mor
tar battery, and holding in check the enemy’s
cavalry during the day.
I have noticed shove the officers whose con
duct either fell under my own immediate eye, or;
as noth cd only in minor reports which are not
forwarded. For further mention of individuals,.
I beg leave to refer to the reports of division com
manders herewith respectively transmitted. I
fully concur in their recommendations, and de
sire that they ma> be considered as a part of my
oWn report.
