soldier, ably aiding the advance division; to their staff officers, as well
as to the regiments which have been mentioned in ths .:rder, the gen-
eral commanding tenders individually his heartfelt thanks and congrat-
ulations. Their gallantry and good conduct commands his respect, ani
has added a page to the claims they have on the gratitude of a great
people, now struggling to maintain national freedom and integrity
against an unhallowed war in favor of caste and despotism.
To Colonel Mizner, chief of the cavalry division, and to the officers
and men of his command, the general commanding here publicly tend-
ers his acknowledgments. For courage, efficiency, and for incessant
and successful combats he does not believe they have any superiors.
In our advance on luka and during the action they ably performed
their duty. Colonel Hatch fought and whipped the rebels at Peyton's
Mill on the 19th; pursued the retreating column on the 20th, har-
rassed their rear and captured a large number of arms. During the
action 5 privates of the Third Michigan Cavalry beyond our extreme
right opened fire, captured a rebel stand of colors, a captain and lieu-
tenant, sent in the colors that night, alone held their prisoners during
the night and brought them in next morning.
The unexpected accident which alone prevented us from cutting off
the retreat and capturing Price and his army only shows how much
success depends on Him in whose hands are the accidents as well as
the laws of life.
Brave companions in arms! be always prepared for action, firm,
united, and disciplined. The day of peace from the hands of God will
soon dawn, when we shall return to our happy homes, thanking Him
who gives both courage and victory.
