My report is already so long that I must forbear mentioning acts of individual merit. These will be recorded in the reports of division commanders, which I will cheerfully indorse, but I must say that it is but justice that colonels of regiments who have so long and so well commanded brigades, as in the following cases, should be commissioned to the grade which they have filled with so much usefulness and credit to the public service, viz: Colonel J. R. Cockerill, Seventieth Regiment Ohio Volunteers; Colonel J. M. Loomis, Twenty-sixth Regiment Illinois Volunteers; Colonel C. C. Walcutt, Forty-sixth Regiment Ohio Volunteers; Colonel J. A. Williamson, Fourth Regiment Iowa Volunteers; Colonel G. B. Raum, Fifty-sixth Regiment Illinois Volunteers; Colonel J. I. Alexander, Fifty-ninth Regiment Indiana Volunteers.
My personal staff, as usual, have served their country with fidelity and credit to themselves throughout these events, and have received my personal thanks.
Inclosed you will please find a map* of that part of the battle-field of Chattanooga fought on by the troops under my command, surveyed and drawn by Captain Jenney, of my staff.
I have the honor to be, your obedient servant,
W. T. SHERMAN,
Major-General, Commanding.
Brigadier General JOHN A. RAWLINS,
Chief of Staff to General Grant.
