Channing Price, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General, Division Headquarters: Major: I have the honor, agreeably to instructions from division headquarters, to forward a report of the operations of my brigade on the four-teenth and fifteenth instants.

At a quarter-past one o'clock another despatch was sent to Genera
