headquarters Fourteenth Army Corps,
August
7, 1864
.
General: The Fourteenth Corps gained decided advantage to-day.
The charge of my old division, under
King
, against the enemy's works was a gallant affair; in fact, the operations of the entire corps are highly
satisfactory.
A portion of
King
's men were actually in the enemy's works, but in consequence of the entanglements few men could reach
them and not in sufficient
force to hold them.
The lines are advanced.
King
is intrenched beyond the rebel skirmish line of this morning.
Baird
's line is in advance of its position this morning.
The position of
Morgan
was fully explained this evening.
We have lost not far from 500 men, while we have captured about 350 or 400 prisoners.
