After crossing the north branch of the Little Ogeechee, these two companies were ordered to destroy by fire the saw-mill and bridge, and break the dam, after the same had been opened and the road flooded. Three foraging teams came in sight on the other side of the road. The men were ordered to cross the burning bridge, which they did, and succeeded in backing the flames and brought the teams and horses across in safety.

After a slight skirmish with the enemy by the One Hundred and Thirty-seventh and One Hundred and Second New-York regiments, in which they drove the enemy into their works, we took our position in a ditch made to drain road, and which served as good earthworks for the men, Twenty-ninth being the fourth in line from the left of the brigade, and within three hundred yards of the enemy's works.

The positions of the regiments were changed and the Twenty-ninth ordered to take the extreme left and charge the enemy's works on the river beach. The regiment took up its assigned position at two A. M., and at four A. M. was ordered into intrenchments, the assault having been abandoned.
