ment that I received the order, the enemy were making a heavy assault upon General Reynolds, and Brown had not yet replenished his ammunition. The order, however, was peremptory, and the movement was from the trenches before the enemy made an assault. Especial credit is due the skirmishers of Brown's brigade for their conduct in this affair, and I ask attention to his report. As I have stat and very soon thereafter the enemy assaulted him in force. A small portion of my left brigade (Brown's) was engaged, and the men behaved with their usual spirit until relieved. The enemy kept up a heavy fire of skirmishers and artillery upon my front line — Brown and Pettus — and inflicted considerable loss; but my skirmishers behaved well, and were only driven back upon portions of the line. following statement will show my losses during the whole movement:  Killed.Wounded.Missing.

The Trans-Mississippi army, under General Kirby Smith, alone remains. A few of us, like drowning men catching at straws, still hope for exchange and deliverance through this source.

My nights are restless, and hours are spent in anxious, troubled thoughts. It is said there a
