fellow Comrades, Ladies a.id Gentlemen : On the morning of the 19th of September, 1863, about 8 o'clock, Brannon'a Division, to which the 82nd Ind. belonged, opened the battle of Chicamauga. We had inarched all the night previous, as also had the Confederate Army, each intent on getting to

Chattanooga first; but the roads cime together near Chicauiauga Hirer, about 12 miles from Chattanooga. The river lay between the two armies, hut most of the enemy had crossed, and the two armies met face V? face. Erannon's Division wae in the advance. It was reported to Thomas that a Brigade of the enemy had been intercepted by Dan

if cCook's Cavalry force and out off from its main command, by the burning of a bridge where they had attempted to cross the Chicamauga River, and Braanon's Division was sent to capture it. He male the following disposition of his Division : Gen. Crockston's Brigade moved on the right and Gei . Van daver's Brigade en the left, and our

Brigade, commanded by Col. Connell, with the 4th Michigan Battery moved in the center. There were but three Regiments in our Brigade during the whole tight ; to-wic : The 17th and 31st Ohio and the 82nd Ind., the 38th Ohio having been

doabtedly defeated the enemy iu our

front and I supposed the rest of the Army had done likewise. I could no see any of our forces but a small portion of them on our left, about a half a mile awav, and could not hear anything that was going on lor everything was drowned by roar of musketry, but I soon learned the facts aud found that we had been holding the enemy in cluck until Thomas had gotten the rest of the Army out of danger and that we were now merely bringing up the rear. Besides wo were now inarching away from our killed and wounded. I had two brothers in my Regiment and I did not know whether they were with us or not; my Lieut. Col. haA a son who I knew was wounded but did not know where he was, besides all the killed and wounded, leaving them to fall into the hands of the enemy. I did not know our losses, but knew they must be heavy. When we made the charge in the bottom after ten o'clock, after the 17'ih. and 3 1st, Ohio bad given way from the breast-works, I knew our loss must be terrible in killed and wounded, for when we caino out of the charge, our Regiment did not look as lame by half as when we enteicd the fight. I expected when night came to have our killed and wounded cared for, but now wo could see after none. It was eight miles lo Rossville, the night dark, and the surviving troops were tired, as they had fought all day without food or water

and yet had to travel this distance,

about one hundred and fifty yards to our right and joined Branron's forces and fought there bravely till dark and joined us at Rossrille. When we got to Rossville, we htayed there all the next duv aud the next

night, prepared and waiting for the enemy. The otieiticu is often asked

uy many, wny was tnat tne enemy did not follow us up and attack us; the answer is this, they could not; they would have done it, if they could, but their army was so badly hurt that it had but little light left in it, so little that they would not attempt it. If they had it would have proved a failure, for we formed a line across the valley at Rossville that would have held it against any force they ceuld have brought. We moved from Rossville to Chattanooga om Tuesday morning without interruption, except their Cavalry made a little show of light when we got to i hattanooga, but took good care to keep out of range of our muskets. Afte:' we got t Chattanooga w-2 fortified in twenty minutes, so that we could not have been gotten out of there, .villi twice their force, Chattanooga was the objective point; we got there iu good shape and held it. The battle of Chicamauga wosld iiave terminated very differently from what it did, had McCook on thi second dav's light beeu closed up against Thomas, for then our line could never have been broken, but that fatal gap of a mile or more was left open where the enemy came iu and Hanked our Army both ways, which was the fatal blunder. It was always a mystery to me, after our Army was flanked how Thomas could hold together a he did till

dark, then draw olF 1: is forces with-; out loss to Rossville. That blunder, j

but a few moments until Vandaver's men bad passed and the enemy came up pressing them with all iheir might When within fifty yards of us, the Battery and 82nd Ind. opened lire and gave them a volley. Then I ordered the 82nd Ind. to their feet and followed up the firing as rapidly as possible and tho Battery did the same, which was so sadden and so deadly that it gave them a check; in an instant, almost, they were on the retreat. When Vandavers men passed over ua they halted and gave ns their support and we immediately cleared the enemy from our front. Vandaver's Brigade, the 82nd Jnd. and 4th Michigan Battery were then sent to the right, to the support of Crockston's Brigade, which was hard pressed. When the enemy saw the reinforcements coming,t hey, supposing that they were much

larger than they were, gave way and left us masters of the field. By this time fighting had become general and we could hear it distinctly for some distance to our right ; but that ended the fighting of our Division on the first day. The officers and men of the Division acted gallantly and were in good spirits,feeling that they had defeated the enemy in thir front, though the losses were heavy on both sides. We stayed on the field guarding our front till near sundown, when Gen. Baird took our place and Gen. Brannon received orders to march to another position, which was some two miles to the right. We arrived there about dark and camped in an open field, in which there was a straw stack. It was a very chilly evening; the men were without blankets, having left them where they- had prepared to enter the battle in the morning, the ground of which was now occupied by the enemy. That night a very heavy frost fell, and being near the enemy we could not build fires, in consequence of which the men suffered very much during the night, but the hoys stood it without a murwnnw

so aeadiy and the shock was o great and unexpected to the entay that they gave way and we juesed them until we regained the breastworks from which the 17th anc 3ist Ohio had been driven. In oing this short distance of sixty yirds I lost ninety-two men, killec and wounded. On looking to ray left I saw the whole line had given way as far as I could see. I expected that the 17th and 31st Ohio, when they had passed over my regiment, and saw that I had gone to the front, would reorganize and come to our support.
