 General Johnston has great satisfaction in expressing to 
 this command his sense of the high services and admirable con- 
 duct of the Army of Tennessee, especially in the recent opera- 
 tions near Jtfurfreesboro. In those operations, that patriotic 
 Army, contending with greatly superior numbers, by its own 
 courage, and the skill oi ita General, inflicted upon the enemy 
 a loss almost equal to its own number, besides capturing thirty- 
 three cannon and a thousand wagons — an exploit unparalleled 
 in modern battles./ For its heroic fortitude in enduring fatigue, 
 privation, and exposure, and bravery in battle, he can, with 
 confidence, promise to it the thanks oi the Government and 
 gratitude of the country.
