illiams assisted me in the command, and acquitted himself honorably, cheering and encouraging the men, by example, to the work which was so well executed. Lieutenant A. J. Arnold, commanding company I, fell mortally wounded, while gallantly leading his company. He was a noble young officer, whose loss will be seriously felt by all who knew him. Lieutenant Wright, company D, was wounded and is a prisoner. Adjutant Cornall received a wound early in the action, and was sent to the rear. Robert Fisher, color-sergeant, who bravely bore the colors to the front amid the showers of shell and bullets, was wounded. Corporal Walter Monteiro received and supported our banner manfully through the engagement. The casualties are as follows: Killed, four; wounded, eighty-nine; missing, twenty.

marched slowly. Finding that General Ripley's column had halted about nine miles from here, a very considerable time, I rode forward, and found General Ripley at Fisher's. He informed me that he was constructing two rifle pits to strengthen his position. Shortly after my arrival, one of General Ripley's brigades was ordered forwry in front. It was not until late in the day, that I discovered there was a regiment of two or three hundred, or more, of our own cavalry about the junction and Fisher's. The junction was occupied without opposition, nothing of the enemy being seen beyond their mounted pickets, which retired as our own advanced. The whole of Ries proved fatal.
