entucky regiment was also
prevented from participating in the action of the 21st, but
rendered highly important services under Colonel Ormsby, in
covering the mortar battery, and holding in check the enemy's
cavalry during the day.

I have noticed above the officers whose conduct either fell under
my immediate eye, or is noticed only in minor reports which are
not forwarded. For further mention of individuals, I beg leave to
refer to the reports of division commanders. I fully concur in
their recommendations, and desire that they may be considered as
a part of my own report.

From the officers of my personal staff, and of the engineers, (p. 298)
topographical engineers, and ordnance, associated with me,
I have derived valuable and efficient assistance during the
operations. Colonel Whiting, assistant quartermaster-general,
Colonels Croghan and Belknap, inspector generals, Major Bliss,
assistant adjutant general, Captain Sibley, assistant
quartermaster, Captain Waggaman, commissary of subsistence,
Captain Eaton and Lieutenant Garnett, aids-de-camp, and Major
Kirby and Van Buren, pay department, served near my person, and
were ever prompt, in all situations, in the communication of my
orders and instructions. I must express my particular obligations
to Brevet-Major Mansfield and Lieutenant Scarritt, corps of
Engineers. They both rendered most important services in
reconnoitring the enemy's positions, conducting troops in attack,
and strengthening the works captured from the enemy. Major
Mansfield, though wounded on the 21st, remained on duty during
that and the following day, until confined by his wound to camp.
Captain Williams, Topographical Engineer, to my great regret and
the loss of the service, was mortally wounded while fearlessly
exposing himself in the attack of the 21st. Lieutenant Pope, of
the same corps, was active and zealous throughout the operations.
Major Munroe, chief of the Artillery, Major Craig and Captain
Ramsay, of the Ordnance, were assiduous in the performance of
their proper duties. The former superintended their mortar
service on the 22d, as particularly mentioned in the report of
General Worth, to which I also refer for the services of the
engineer and topographical officers detached with the second
divisi
