Headquarters 1st Cavalry Division,
Army of West La., May 8, 1864

General Order. No.-

The Brig. Gen. commanding takes occasion to call
The attention of their comrades to the gallantry dis-
played by the officers and men of Terrell’s and Li-
kens’ regiments in the engagement with the enemy
on the 2d inst., at the Chamber’s plantation, in charg-
ing his largely superior force of cavalry and infantry,
strongly posted in the negro quarters on the planta-
tion, and behind a fence running east of the trench,
against five fold odds they charged with a yell, led on
by Col. Terrell driving the enemy in confusion, at
sunset from their position: The example of those
men should excite the emulation of the army to re-
newed efforts to drive from the land the enemy who
now attempts to waste by fire a country he has been
unable to conquer by the sword.

By command of

Brig. Gen. A.P. BAGBY,

Commanding Division

J. P. Smith, A.A.G.
