Report of Brigadier General Thomas H. Ruger, U. S. Army, commanding Second Brigade.

-------------------
WAR DEPARTMENT, BUREAU OF CONSCRIPTION, Richmond, September 9, 1864.
Colonel T. P. August, Fifteenth Virginia Regiment, was wounded at the battle of Malvern Hill, July 1, 1862. Before he had reported for duty after that would he became the subject of a pre-existing disease, which was exacerbated by active service, and which incapacitated him for the service in the field. He was assigned in January, 1863, as commandant of conscription service since that date, never having been at any time capable of field duty. His present condition is indicated by the accompanying surgeon' certificate. It has been his condition within my personal knowledge since November, 1863, the date of his assignment to duty in the Bureau at Richmond. I have regarded him as extremely liable to die at any movement from the effect of the disease which caused his assignment. He is not physically competent to one hour's service at the head of his regiment, and never will be.

GENERAL ORDERS, HDQRS. DEPT. OF ARKANSAS, ETC.
No.54.
Little Rock, Ark., July 20, 1864.
We are again called upon to mourn for one of our most gallant and distinguished officers, the high-toned, the chivalrous Brigadier General S. A. Rice. He died at his home in Iowa on the 6th of July instant, after protracted suffering from a wound received in the battle of Jenkins' Ferry, where his noble bearing called forth a universal sentiment of admiration from those who co-operate with him on that bloody field. He commanded a brigade at the battle of Helena on the 4th day of July, 1863, where he first exhibited his qualities as an officer, and served with the Army of Arkansas from its inception until after he received the fatal wound. He was wounded at the battle of Little Missouri and distinguished himself in every engagement during the campaign. When he entered the army he devoted his time and energies to he military profession, always acting honestly and independently for the good of our common cause. Seldom has any man in so short a period acquired so good a knowledge of the profession of arms as did General Rice. He not only understood principles, but he knew how and when to apply them. The termination of his brief but brilliant military career and earthly sojourn at the same time, will cast a gloom over the whole army, and leave that sorrow in the hearts of his friends which knows no end.

Colonel H. Boyd McKeen, commanding Eighty-first Pennsylvania Volunteers, an officer of great ability and distinction, both in camp and on the field, a gentleman of high-toned character, who had served in this brigade since its organization and participated in every engagement, commanded his regiment up to the engagement at Totopotomoy Creek, when he was detailed to the command of a brigade in the Second Division, and fell mortally wounded at the battle of Cold Harbor, June 3.

HDQRS. ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA, July 17, 1863.
Honorable JAMES A. SEDDON, Secretary of War:
SIR: I regret to announce the death of General J. J. Pettigraw, commanding the north Carolina brigade of Heth`s division, General A. P. Hill`s corps. He was wounded by a pistol shot in the attack of the enemy`s cavalry on our rear guard in crossing the Potomac on the Morning of the 14th instant.

HDQRS. ARTILLERY SECOND CORPS, February 19, 1863.
Lieutenant General THOMAS J. JACKSON, Commanding Second Corps:
Captain J. B. Brockenbrough, who was wounded at the battle of Fredericksburg, while acting chief of artillery of General Trimble's division; that is, provided he will be fit for early service in the field, which I think probable. I shall endeavor to ascertain this fact speedily, and if it should prove, on inquiry, that Captain Brockenbrough is not likely to be able to endure active service at an early day. I would then recommend Captain R. P. Chew, commanding a battery with Brigadier.
-------------------
Number 22. Report of Major Salue G. Van Anda Twenty -first Iowa Infantry, SECOND Brigade, fourteenth DIVISION. BATTLE-FIELD, near Vicksburg MISS., may 5, 1863.
Lieutenant Colonel C. W. Dunlap was shot through the head and instantly killed. He was wounded at the battle of Port Gibson and was unable to keep up with the regiment, but fame up after the charge. In the death of this brave soldier and gallant officer the regiment has sustained an irreparable loss.
----------------
Numbers 190. Report of Brigadier General Jubal A. Early, C. S. Army, commanding Third, or Ewell's Division, of operations August 16 - September 1.
This report, however, is necessarily defective in regard to all the other brigades of the division except my own, as there were other division commanders until after the commencement of the battle of Sharpsburg, on September 17, Major-General Ewell having commanded until the night of August 28, when he was wounded in the action near Groveton, and Brigadier-General Lawton having command from that time until he was wounded at the battle of Sharpsburg. It is impossible to supply the necessary information in regard to the particular parts taken by Lawton's and Trimble's brigades in the several actions commencing with the affairs of Hazel River, on the 22nd, and Bristoe and Manassas Junction, on August 27, and ending with the battle of Sharpsburg, except as to the part taken by Trimble's brigade at Sharpsburg, as General Lawton, who commanded his brigade until August 29, is absent in Georgia wounded, and Colonel [M.] Douglass, who commanded the brigade from August 29 to September 17, was killed at Sharpsburg on that day, and General Trimble, who commanded his brigade until August 29, is absent wounded, and Captain [W. F.] Brown, of the Twelfth Georgia Regiment, who succeeded him in the command, was killed at Ox Hill, near Chantilly, on September 1. There is the same difficulty in regard to Hays' brigade as to the part taken by it on August 30 at Manassas and at Ox Hill on September 1, as Colonel Strong, who commanded on these occasions, was killed at Sharpsburg.
-----------------------
184. Report of Lieutenant Colonel Cadwalader Jones, Twelfth South Carolina Infantry, of operations August 29-September 20.
OCTOBER 1, 1862.
SIR: I have the honor to submit detailed reports of the part taken by the Twelfth Regiment South Carolina Volunteers in the battles of Manassas, August 29 and 30; of Ox Hill, September 1; of Harper's Ferry, September 15; Sharpsburg, September 17, and Shepherdstown, September 20:
This duty devolves on me in consequence of the death of Colonel Dixon Barnes, late commander of this regiment. He fell mortally wounded at the battle of Sharpsburg in the third and last charge of his regiment, and just as the tide of battle had turned decisively in his favor. He was then, as always, in the midst of his command. Justice to our lamented colonel authorizes me to say a more gallant officer has not fallen during the war. Distinguished alike for dashing courage in battle, for a most amiable and gentlemanly bravery in social life, and for strict military discipline everywhere, we feel that his loss is irreparable to his regiment, which he so much honored by his gallantry, and which in turn has honored him by its distinguished bravery whenever brought in the face of the foe. He lingered of his wounds, being shot in both knees, until September 27, on which day he departed this life at Charlestown, Va.

The Men Of The Matross Of The Revolutionary War.
I have seen the name "Matross", a lot over the years, but wasn’t all that interested in looking into it, then I found I was lacking subjects to write about and decided it was time to see what the Matross was all about. But what is a Matross?
“Matross was a soldier of artillery, who ranked next below a gunner. The duty of a matross was to assist the gunners in loading, firing and sponging the guns. They were provided with firelocks, and marched with the store-wagons, acting as guards. In the American army a matross ranked as a private of artillery.”
Of course there were thousands of men in this service so I can only list a few. You well learn that your ancestor or name of interest was in the Artillery and what regiment he was in. I put all my energy into finding these names and have not looked into the names themselves and I know some will have additional information.

Important note. I did these names just for the enjoyment of it. However there was some confession on my part.
