will be allowed to inscribe on their banners the name of the battle-field on which they were engaged, but regiments misbehaving in action will be deprived of their colors until they may have shown themselves worthy of defending them. From the difficulty of communicating orders in the country in which we are operating, it is necessary that each division, brigade and regimental commander, should clearly understand that, when without orders or at a loss to know what to do in action, they must rapidly advance in the direction of the heaviest firing; for the art of war consists in concentration of masses. Moreover, our motto should be, Forward, and always forward! until victory may perch decisively upon our banners. The more rapid the attack the weaker, habitually, the resistance.

Garner, Assistant Adjutant General.

I annex a list of the killed and wounded, and remain, General, most respectfully, your obedient servant, N. Thourot, Lieut.-Col. Com'g Fifty-fifth Regiment N. Y. S. Volunteers. Killed, Sergeant Vogel; wounded, 33; missing, 1
