end of the action, he was engaged in various parts of the line encouraging the men and instructing them as to the best mode of making their fire effective. I recommend also to his notice the good conduct of John L. Cowardin, Adjutant of the regiment, who was energetic in conveying orders. I also recommend to his favorable attention Captain L. H. N. Salyer, of company H, who, under the supervision of Maj. Thorburn, rendered, with a portion of the company, most effective service against the sharp shooters of the enemy. Corporal Lyons, of company I, exhibited bravery and great skill in picking off several of the enemy who were posted behind trees after the main body had fallen back. All the officers of the regiment behaved with gallantry and coolness throughout the action. Our loss was 3 privates wounded, 2 Lieutenants, 1 Sergeant, and 11 privates missing. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, [Signed.] A. W. Reynolds, Col. 50th Va. Reg't, Floyd's Brigade, C. S. A.
