Sir: I have the honor to forward the inclosed report relative to the services of signal officers at the battle of Winchester, and the accompanying communication from Lieut. W. W. Rowley, acting signal officer in charge.

The Sioakon of the Secretary of War is respectfully called to the fact that, without recognition or notice of their services, even when rendered on the field of battle and under circumstances of exposure,

the best officers now on signal duty become dissatisfied and request their relief from the duty. I am, sir,

very respectfully, your obedient servant,
