rrison's plantation to Captain A. W. Selfridge, Assistant Commissary Subsistence of this brigade, while the latter was foraging in advance of my troops. The Fifth Connecticut veteran volunteers of my command captured a wagon loaded with ammunition. The road at the point where we encamped for the night was obstructed by slashed timber, and just beyond the slashing, the enemy were strongly fortified. Pursuant to orders from Brigadier-General N. J. Jackson, I sent the Forty-sixth regiment Pennsylvania veteran volunteers about half a mile to the left, on a road running parallel with the enemy's works, and about four hundred yards from them. In endeavoring to reach the river, this regiment met the enemy's skirmishers, and after a brisk fire of fifteen or twenty minutes, were obliged to fall back about two hundred yards. While here, seven (7) deserters from the enemy gave themselves up, and were forwarded to division headquarters. On the following day, I moved the remainder of my brigad

nes, about four miles from town, on the tenth of the present month. On the eleventh, the two rifle-batteries were placed in position, battery E, Independent Pennsylvania artillery, Captain Sloan, near the left of our line, on the Savannah River, opposite the upper end of Hutchinson's Island. And battery I, First New-York artilery C, First Ohio artillery, were captured on the twelfth instant on Hutchinson's Island, where they had gone to seek forage. One enlisted man of battery E, Pennsylvania artillery, died of disease on the march near Madison.

possession of them (the guns) the evening of the battle, but fell back and left them for us to drag off if we chose. The fact that they took possession of them the next morning, about eight o'clock, I got from Doctor Collins, Third regiment, Pennsylvania reserve corps, who remained with the wounded, and saw the advance of the enemy the next day. Again, Mr. J. R. Sypher, of Lancaster, some time since with the army of the Potomac, states that he was told by Randall himself that he had applied to General Meade in the foregoing letter. Now here is satisfactory testimony that these guns lay on the outside of the enemy's lines, and were seen there long after sunrise the following morning by Surgeon James Collins, of the Third regiment Pennsylvania reserves, (Meade's brigade,) and by many others who remained to care for our wounded, (as since reported to me,) and were not in possession of the enemy until, by the retreat of McClellan's army, they fell, uncared for, into the hands of the e

nd the captured property from the late battle-field. Having accomplished this result, it was proposed to move the army into Western Maryland, establish our communications with Richmond, through the valley of the Shenandoah, and by threatening Pennsylvania, induce the enemy to follow, and thus draw him from his base of supplies. It had been supposed that the advance upon Fredericktown would lead to the evacuation of Martinsburgh and Harper's Ferry, thus opening the line of communication throu On the eighteenth October, General Stuart was ordered to cross the Potomac above Williamsport, with twelve or fifteen hundred cavalry, and endeavor to ascertain the position and designs of the enemy. He was directed, if practicable, to enter Pennsylvania and do all in his power to impede and embarrass the military operations of the enemy. This order was executed with skill, address, and courage. General Stuart passed through Maryland, occupied Chambersburgh, and destroyed a large amount of p

told the cavalry was on that duty, alone saved the regiment. In retreating in good order, he passed the enemy's flanking forces on the right and left, within long gunshot range, and succeeded in reaching my position with trifling loss. Colonel Canty was placed on the right of the two regiments before named. Half an hour later, the enemy were seen to advance, with General Blenker's old brigade among the regiments, as prisoners informed me, the Eighth New-York, and Bucktail Rifles from Pennsylvania, driving in our picket before a heavy fire. I ordered the three regiments to rest quietly in the edge of an open wood, until the enemy, who were advancing in regular order across the field and hollow, should come within fifty steps of our line; the order was mainly observed, and as the enemy appeared above the crest of the hill, a deadly fire was delivered along our whole front, beinning on the right dropping the deluded victims of Northern fanaticism and misrule by scores. The repulse

pany, of the same regiment, advanced in open space, discovered that the forces meeting us in front from the left were those of Major-General Jackson, and entered into communication with them so as to avoid the risk of further mischief. In the mean time, two companies of the Twelfth regiment, (Miller's and Neville's,) sent out under Lieutenant-Colonel Cadwallader Jones, to meet the enemy seen on the left, took and brought in some twelve of the prisoners, belonging in chief to regiments of Pennsylvania reserves. At the intersection of the roads, near Walnut Grove Church, where Major-General Hill stopped to confer with Major-General Jackson, I received General Hill's further instructions, and resumed the advance on the roads running near the Chickahominy to Gaines's Mill. Approaching the vicinity of Hogan's house, where General Lee stopped me by the roadside and gave me further directions for advancing and attacking the enemy, I moved the brigade forward in nearly the same order as the
