CHIEF ENGINEER'S OFFICE, DEPT. OF THE OHIO,

Cincinnati, Ohio, September 19, 1863.

GENERAL: I have the honor to forward herewith inclosed my report of operations in this department for the month of August last. The reports from subordinates, on account of uncontrollable circumstances, have come in so slow as to make it impossible to submit it before.
