Battery L
One section, in command of Lieutenant Roys, proceeded overland with cavalry and met the enemy at Buffington's Island, July 19th, where the greater portion of Morgan's force was captured, this section being the first to open fire upon the rebels at that point.
Captain Thompson and Lieutenant Fairbrass had proceeded with another section from Cincinnati up the river on steamers, and done good service in aiding to prevent Morgan from crossing the Ohio. The other section, under Lieutenant Gallagher, proceeded, also from Cincinnati, moving by rail to Steu-benville, Ohio, and assisted in the final capture of Morgan and his force at Salineville, in that State, on the 26th of July, 1863.
