Davenport, senior officer, cooperated heartily with me during the whole time, by sending five gunboats to Hamilton, and their placing four boat-howitzers, with their crews, at my disposal.

Private Noah Havens, company K, Eighteenth Indiana, made a reconnaissance within the enemy's lines in the night. Major L. H. Potter, with four companies of the Thirty-third Illinois infantry, engaged the enemy on the left in the morning, holding him in check until the arrival of Osterhaus's division. Captain Charles, company H, Eighteenth Indiana, was the first man tl investigation. About six o'clock A. M.
