Williams, commanding 1st division 2d army corps, Army of Virginia: Sir. --I have the honor to make the following report of the part taken by my brigade in the recent battle of Saturday, August 9th, at Cedar Mountain, three miles from Culpeper Court-House, with the enemy under Gen. Jackson. At 9 A. M. on the 9th, after a hurried march of the day before, which was prolonged until 12 o'clock at night, I received orders to remove my brigade from the town of Culpeper, where we were in bivouac, rapidly to the front, as Gen. Crawford (commanding 1st brigade, 1st division) had been attacked and needed assistance. My brigade was put in motion at once, and reached the position of Gen. Crawford at about 12 M.

M. only a few discharges from the enemy's guns announced his presence. At this hour a severe cannonading began, extending from the left of our line across the road upon which our centre rested. Our batteries, served with great vigor, responded manfully, and with such success that the whole of our left, consisting of General Augur's division, advanced considerably from our first position, not withstanding the enemy occupied a height which gave him advantages of a plunging fire. Until 5½ P. M., this artillery practice continued with unabating severity. At this hour I heard quite a rapid musketry firing in my front, behind a range of timber, distant about one-third of a mile from my position. I was ordered by you, sir, to move at once with my brigade and support Gen. Crawford, who was engaging the enemy's left.

The living yet live for their country, and the wounded, in their suffering, may be cheered by the consciousness that all this, and more, they can bear for the cause of American freedom. Among the killed are Lieut. Col. Crane and Capt. O'Brien, 3d Wisconsin regiment; Capt. Cary, Williams, Abbott, and Goodwin, and Lieut. Perkins, of the 2d Massachusetts. These are some of the names to be remembered as heroes — men who have died that our country may survive. I carried into action less than 1,500 men. I lost in about thirty minutes 466 killed, wounded and missing. I refer specially to the reports of Colonels of regiments appended. I am; sir, with great respect,Truly your ob't servant, Geo. H.

o was engaging the enemy's left. I moved at once from my well chosen and exceedingly strong position, gaining the scene of action as briefly as a double-quick movement could carry me. I led into action the 2d Massachusetts regiment, Col. G. L. Andrews; 3d Wisconsin regiment, Col. Ruger, and the 27th Indiana regiment. Col. Colgrove. I should state that five companies of the 3d Wisconsin regiment, previously deployed as skirmishers in this same timber, had been ordered by you to join Gen. the rifles of the First and Third brigades of the First division. With my shattered brigade I occupied the front of the centre of our line of battle until near daylight. In conclusion, I ought — as I thus do — to mention the names of Col. Andrews, 2d Massachusetts regiment; Col. Ruger, 3d Wisconsin regiment, and Col. Colgrove, 27th Indiana regiment, as deserving praise for gallant conduct. I by no means limit my commendation to the names mentioned. I would add the names of many commi
