received his mortal wound bore himself with great coolness and gal-
lantry. He had long been associated with me, and his loss deprived
his country of one of its most accomplished, brave, and devoted officers.
He fell in the discharge of his duty, and was borne from the field with-
out a word, but of good cheer to those near him.
Among the living, where all acted well, it would perhaps be in-
vidious to mention any who may have rendered themselves more con-
spicuous than others. Mr. Robert Pugh, as my aide, on the 6th, ren-
dered valuable services, and Lieut. H. H. Bein, acting assistant adju-
tant-general, also during the same day was of very great assistance
to me.
The loss of so many brave officers and true men, together with the
hardships endured in falling back to this point, had at first a depress-
ing effect on the command, but it is rallying very fast, and will again
move forward with resolution to meet our defeated foe.
I have the honor to remain, captain, your obedient servant,
RANDALL LEE GIBSON,
Colonel, Commanding First Brigade, Rggles' .Division.

General S. COOPER,
Adjutant and Inspector General, Richmond, Va.:
I had the honor to transmit, through Brigadier-General Pillow, early
in the month of April last, an application for a court of inquiry, of
which the inclosed is a copy. I was obliged to transmit the same a
great distance through the mail, and fearing that it may have been
miscarried, send forward a copy. I also inclose the statements of
Mr. Pugh, of Assumption Parish, La., he acting as my aide-de-camp on
the occasion alluded to, and that of Lieut. H. H. Bein, adjutant of the
Thirteenth Louisiana Volunteers. I send forward also the statement
of Col. H. W. Allen, who commanded the Fourth Louisiana Volunteers
at Shiloh, and that of Capt. E. M. Dubroca, who commanded the Thir-
teenth Louisiana Volunteers on Monday.
Yours, very respectfully,
RANDALL LEE GIBSON,
Colonel, Commanding.

Near Morton, Scott County, Miss., August 1, 1863.
S. COOPER,
Adjutant and Inspector General, Richmond, Va.:
SIR: An extract from General Bragg's report of the battle of Shiloh
was sent to me a few days ago by an officer of the Army, and I find
myself and command censured in it, more especially myself, as being
in command of the brigade to which my regiment had been assigned.
More than a year has elapsed since the battle of Shiloh; several officers
of important positions were killed in it, among them Maj. A. P. Avegno,
commanding one of the regiments, and Lieut. Ben. King, acting as my
chief staff officer. Others are in distant parts of the country. Col.
H. W. Allen and Col. B. L. Hodge being in Louisiana, and Col. J. F.
Fagan in Arkansas. But as I regard the report of General Bragg as
