the First brigade, General Charles S. Winder; the Second brigade, Lieutenant-Colonel R. H. Cunningham commanding; the Third brigade, Colonel L. W. Fulkerson commanding; and the Fourth brigade, General A. R. Lawton; with the batteries of Poague, Carpenter, and Wooding.

The gun and caisson were sent to Richmond, one caisson exchanged into Captain Poague's battery, and the other caisson and limber also sent to Richmond. It is due that I should call especial attention to the gallantry displayed by Major R. L. Andrews in this action. He was severely wounded, and, in our withdrawal, fell a prisoner into the hands of the enemy. Captain J. Carpenter, a most excellent officer, received a wound, from which he has since died, while fearlessly exposing himself in looking out a position for his battery.
