Wright, Commanding Fnder the escort promised to me, to wit, the Seventh Connecticut regiment, nine hundred strong, Col. Terry commanding. The regiment was placed at my disposal at eleven o'clock A. M., when I at once work, I deemed it proper to exercise great caution against surprise, and accordingly requested Col. Terry to cover the advance of the main body of escort by skirmishers. Over a very considerable portad, sugar, rice, corn, vinegar, &c. We brought back two wagon loads of these articles, which Colonel Terry will account for. Had my orders admitted of it, I would have remained at Seabrook with half no post-office at Seabrook. I have to acknowledge the cordial and efficient cooperation of Colonel Terry in carrying out the objects of the reconnaissance. Very respectfully, your obedient serva

the somewhat empty honor of first planting itself within the earth work, but I believe it must have been the Fifth Michigan, which, I am sure, would have been even more eager than it was, had the honors been more hazardous to attain and more noble to enjoy. But I have heard it loudly claimed by members of about ten different regiments, always with a circumstantial positiveness that does credit to their inventive heads, rather than their elastic veracity. Certainly, the Fifth Michigan, Colonel Terry, hold the Hill now, and I make no doubt that they first seized it. They, together with the New York Thirty-fifth, have been kept alert since the occupation, lest some adroit effort at resumption should be attempted by the enemy. At the time I passed up the hill, the road was filled with troops passing and repassing, and with curious visitors, seeking for stray tokens of the absent, but not forgotten, Virginians. The little valley which separated the lines of the pickets was undergoin

were halted, a short distance on the north side of the church. It was soon ascertained that the rebel cavalry had left, having encamped at the church the night before. Our men advanced and occupied the ground, and sent out parties on the different roads. The regiments under Col. Hayman took the road to Colchester. There are no signs of the enemy having been recently in that vicinity, nor were there any indications of their occupying the opposite bank of the Occoquan at that point. Col. Terry, who commanded the troops which followed the telegraph road to Mrs. Violet's, learned that the enemy's pickets had left there two hours before. On the opposite side of the Occoquan there was seen a small force of cavalry and infantry, evidently apprised of the advance. The cavalry pickets on the road toward Elsey's had also retreated very recently. Having ascertained these facts, the troops returned to their camps. Gen. Heintzelman expresses great gratification at the spirit, zeal, a

ht with reckless intrepidity and daring, laying several of the enemy low with his own arm. He and Starnes in the very front of the charge, dealt their blows right and left with telling effect. The enemy lost some twenty killed, and about the same number wounded and taken prisoners — among the latter Capt. Davis, of Louisville, Kentucky, formerly of Robertson County, Tennessee. We lost only two killed--Capt. Merriweather, while gallantly leading the charge at the head of his company, and W. H. Terry, a private in Capt. McLemore's company from Williamson County, who fell by a sabre thrust while fighting gallantly. We had three wounded. Altogether, it was a brilliant affair. Our men behaved with great gallantry. The enemy's force consisted of about three hundred picked men who had volunteered on the expedition to capture Starnes. To cover their shameful and disgraceful and cowardly retreat, I have no doubt they reported when they got back to camp that they were pursued by at least
