ot the deceased, in connoctfon with the Army of the Potomac, from its organization to within a
few months of its muster out, at the close of the War, are too well known to require recital.
There was hardly an engagement in which he did not take part ; thoro is not a portion of its
r.H-ords or written history that does n:)t bear witness to his ahiUty and fidelity; and to its offi-
ce'« and sokliors lie was cspeci illy en learod bv a never failing patience and kindliness of heart,

miiidinp feels that this official notice is .lue, not only to the public career, but to the priv.ite

* General Graut in recommending him for this promotion, says : " He has been with me in
every battle since the commencement of the Rebellion, except Belmont. At Forts Henry and
Donelson, Shiloh, ami the Siege of Corinth, as a StafT Offlccr and Engineer, his services wore con-
spicuous and highiy meritorious. At the secon<l battle of Corinth, his .skill as a soldier was
displayed in successfully c:irrylug reinforcements to the besieged garri.son, when the enemy
was between him and the point to be reached. Jn the advance tlirougli Central Mississippi,
General McPiiersom commanded one wing of the army with all the ability possible to show, he
having the lead in the advance, and the rear retiring.
" In the campaign and siege terminating with the fall of Vicksburg, General McPherso.v ha3
filled a conspicuous iia.-t. .\t the Butle of Port (iibson, it was un ler his direction that the
enemy was driven, late in the afternoon, from a position they had succeeded in holding all day
against an obstinate attack. His Corps, the advance always under his immediate eye, were
the pioneers in the movement from Port Gibson to Hiwkinson's Ferry. From the north
fork of the Bayou Pierre to Black River it was a constant skirmish, the whole
skilfully managed. The enemy was so closely pressed as to be unable to destroy their bridge
of boats after them. From Hawkinson's Ferry to Jackson, the Seventeenth Army Corps
marched on roads not travelled by other troops, fighting the entire BUtle of Riymond alone,
and the bulk of Johnston's Army was fought by this Corps, entu-ely under the management of
General .McPhersox. At Champion Hill, the Seventeenth Corps and General McPher.«on- were
conspicuous. All that could be termed a battle there, was fought by the divisinns of General
MoPherson's Corps and General Hovey's Division of the Thirteenth Corps. In the Assiult of
the 221 of May on the fortifications of Vicksburg, and dm ing the entire siege, General Jfci'HER-
son and his command took unfading laurels. He is one of the ablest engineers, and most skil-
ful generals. I would respectfully, but urgently, recommend his promotion to the position of
Brigadier-General in the Regular Army."
Awarded, Oct. 1863, a medal of honor, by the officers of his Corps, for the gallant manner m
which he haa led them durmg the Campaign and Siege of Vicksburg.
f Soon after his death, General Grant addressed the following letter to the aged grandmother
of General McPherson :
Headquarters .\rmies of the Uniteu Statis, |
Crrr Point, Va.. Aug. 10, 1861. j
Mt dear Madam : Tour very welcome letter of the 3d instant has reached mo. I urn gla i to
know the relatives of the lamented Mnjor-Geuoral McPherson are aware of the more than
friendship existing between him and myself. A natiou grieves at the loss of one so dear to our
nation's cause. It is a selfish grief, bccaase the nation had more to expect from him than from
almost any one living. I join in this selfish grief, and add the grief of personal love for the
departed. He formed for some time one of my military family. I knew him well. To know
him was but to love him. It may be some consolation to you, his aged grandmother, to know
