No. 1.-report of Col. John Adams, C. 8. Army.

Headquarters Brigade, Camp Foster, Ala., May 10, 1862.

General: Herewith I have the honor to forward a report from Lieutenant-Colonel Woodward of a skirmish with the enemy yesterday. I shall forward the prisoners over the mountain by the turnpike road to Tuscaloosa, Ala.

Colonel Saunders, my aide-de-camp, has addressed a letter to Hon. Charles Gibson and Col. Levi M. Warner, at Moulton, requesting them to relieve my guard and furnish one to accompany the prisoners thence to Tuscaloosa.

The negroes I shall have tried by a military commission, and, if it is found that any were taken with arms in their hands, it may be necessary to inflict summary punishment; otherwise I shall order them turned over to the civil authorities.

I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

John Adams, Colonel, Commanding Brigade. Brig. Gen. Thomas Jordan, A. A. G.

Washington, D.C. Government Printing Office. 1884.
