Lieut. Williams was also wounded by a rifle ball through his right wrist. Col. Silas F. Miller, of the Thirty-sixth Illinois, wbo succeeded to the command of the brigade after Gen. Lytle was killed, on the same day, in his official report, says: " The rifled section of the battery in charge of Lieut. Williams, after doing splendid execution, had to be abandoned. The caissons were brought off, and the remainder of the battery was saved, only through the almost superhuman efforts of Capt. Sutermcister and his men."


The battery fell back to Chattanooga with the army on the 22d of Septem- ber, and was soon after placed in charge of ten siege guns, in Forts Sheridan and Brannon, and did good service up to, and including the battle of Mission Ridge, on the 25th of November. It remained there until the 3d of May, when it took an active part in the Atlanta campaign, participating in inany of the actions that were fought during the next four months, and was conspicuous for its splendid exccution during the siege of Atlanta, where it had charge of eight sicge guns.


After the capture of Atlanta, the Eleventh Battery returned to Chattanooga, where it remained until November 21, 1864, when the non-veterans were ordered to be mustered out, but they were not finally discharged at Indianapolis until January 7, 1865.


During the month of March, in 1864, a number of members of the battery had re-enlisted as veterans. On the 21st of November, they and the recruits of the battery, whose terms of enlistquent had not expired, were transferred to the Seventh and Eighteenth Batteries ; cach of those organizations remained at Chattanooga until they were ordered to Indianapolis for final discharge, the Eighteenth Battery being discharged June 30, 1865, and the Seventh Battery on the 11th of July following.
