aryland side, but returned to their camps during the night; a considerable number of unarmed fugitives from various regiments were passed to the Maryland shore during the night, and the transportation of the wounded was continued until noon of the 22d. On the morning of the 22d I despatched Lieutenant Dodge, of the Nineteenth Massachusetts, with a flag of truce, to request of the Confederate commander permission to remove our wounded, of which numbers lay in view, uncared for, on the Virginia further report of the killed who were identified before burial. I have to report that the remnant of the Tammany regiment, under command of Major Bon, deserted its post in the intrenchments on the island at an early hour in the forenoon of the 22d, and passed to the Maryland shore in disobedience of orders, while I was engaged in arranging for the removal of the wounded and the burial of the dead. I cannot close this report with justice to our troops, who fought valiantly, without commenti

ose of the Third Rhode Island regiment, and the battalion of Volunteer Engineers. By order of Brig.-Gen. T. W. Sherman. Louis H. Pelouze, Capt. Fifteenth Inf., Asst. Adjt.-Gen. General Sherman's report. Headquarters of the Naval expedition, Port Royal, S. C., Nov. 8, 1861. To the Adjutant-General U. S. Army, Washington, D. C.: sir: I have the honor to report that the force under my command embarked at Annapolis, Md., on the 21st of October, and arrived at Hampton Roads, on the 22d. In consequence of the delay in the arrival of some of our transports and the unfavorable state of the weather, the fleet was unable to set out for the southern coast until the 29th, when, under convoy of a naval squadron in command of Commodore Dupont, and after the most mature consideration of the objects of the expedition by that flag-officer and myself, it was agreed to first reduce any works that might be found at Port Poyal, S. C., and thus open the finest harbor on the coast that exis

a. Rebel official report of the engagement, Headquarters Seventh Brigade, Leesburg, Va., Oct. 31, 1861. Colonel: I beg leave to submit the following report of the action of the troops of the Seventh Brigade in the battle of the 21st and 22d inst., with the enemy at Leesburg, Va.: On Saturday night, the 19th inst., about seven o'clock P. M., the enemy commenced a heavy cannonading from three batteries, one playing on my intrenchment, (known as Fort Evans,) one on the Leesburg turnpikeal other commissioned officers. Among the prisoners taken were twenty-two commissioned officers, the names of whom have already been furnished. General C. P. Stone commanded the Federal forces until three o'clock A. M., on the morning of the 22d, when he was superseded by Major-General N. P. Banks. The engagement on our side was fought entirely with the musket; the artillery was in position to do effective service should the enemy have advanced from his cover. The enemy were armed w

h, when it was strengthened by the arrival of Capt. Romer's artillery company, with one gun, and by that of one Virginia, one North Carolina, and three Georgia companies, which swelled the forces of the Wise Legion to over two thousand men. About this time Gen. Lee arrived in Gen. Floyd's camps at Meadow Bluff, and wrote to Gen. Wise, advising him to fall back if executable, without delay. Before acting on this advice Gen. Wise requested Gen. Lee to inspect the position in person. On the 22d Gen. Lee arrived at Camp Defiance, and, after a careful survey of the ground, ordered Gen. Wise to maintain his position until further orders. The enemy had meanwhile advanced to within three or four miles, and several skirmishes had taken place between his outposts and the remaining cavalry of the Legion, under Major Bacon, formerly captain of mounted rangers in Nicaragua, and afterward aid to Gen. Garnett, and wounded by the side of that General when he fell. The rest of the cavalry was

saved. Very respectfully, W. F. Bartlett, Capt. Co. I, Twentieth Regiment Mass. Vols. I trust that my delay in telegraphing is now fully explained to you by my letter of Oct. 24. When Gen. Lander ordered me to march on the morning of the 22d, I had no authentic account of our loss, and confident hopes that it would be much less severe, than it proved. Moreover, I then expected that my absence from camp would be short, as our little remaining force seemed necessary at our own camp, an. I immediately telegraphed Major-Gen. Banks to proceed with the three brigades of his division to the support of Gen. Stone; and advising the latter that he would be thus supported, I directed him to hold his position at all hazards. On the 22d I went personally to the scene of operations, and after ascertaining that the enemy were strengthening themselves at Leesburg, and that our means of crossing and recrossing were very insufficient, I withdrew our forces from the Virginia side.

rge of the means and manner of disposing of them, as the reinforcements arrived; also, of crossing them over the river. On the arrival of Major-Gen. Banks on the 22d, I received the same order from him. I seized all the canal boats within two miles of the ferry, above and below, and all the flat, scow, and row boats to be found,l, placing them in charge of Capt. Foote, Quartermaster of the Second New York State Militia, who managed the crossing with great energy, so that by Tuesday, the 22d inst., at 10 o'clock A. M., we had crossed four thousand five hundred--one hundred and ten or more of Van Alen's Cavalry, and two twelve-pound howitzers of Ricketts' battery, immediately in charge of Lieutenants Kirby and Woodruff. About 4 o'clock on the 22d inst., the enemy were seen advancing upon us in force. They immediately, and with great spirit and determination, attacked our outposts near the woods, adjacent to Goose Creek. to the left and in front of our lines, and about three miles

o explain why I have now opened my batteries on the enemy, when, from the smallness of my forces, about one-sixth of his, thirteen hundred to eight thousand, I have not the means of producing any decisive results, and as evidence of my having accomplished what I designed — the punishing the perpetrators of an insult on my country's flag. Having invited Flag-officer McKean to cooperate with me in attacking the rebels, and to which he gave a ready and cordial assent, I, on the morning of the 22d, opened my batteries on the enemy, to which, in the course of half an hour, he responded from his numerous forts and batteries extending from the Navy Yard to Fort McRae, a distance of about four miles, the whole nearly equi-distant from this fort, and on which line he has two forts — McRae and Barrancas — and fourteen separate batteries, containing from one to four guns, many of them being ten inch columbiads and some twelve and thirteen inch sea-coast mortars, the distance varying from two <

eld through no fault of their own. On the morning of our departure from camp, I was constrained to refuse the gallant Captain Gifford, officer of the day in charge of the camp, leave to accompany the expedition. I had deeply to regret, too, the absence of Captain Charles F. Taylor, of the Wayne Rifles, sent home by me on sick leave, an officer ill-spared on such a day, although his spirited company was well commanded in his absence by Lieuts. Yerkes and Swayne. In my report to you of the 22d inst., I referred to Capt. Manson E. Niles, of the Tioga Rifles, in the following language: I enclose a report of regimental Surgeon S. D. Freeman, showing a list of three killed and twenty-seven wounded. I trust the valuable life of Captain Niles may be spared to his friends and his country. He led the left flankers during the day, and although his tall figure rendered him a conspicuous mark for the enemy's sharpshooters, he did not cease exposing himself to cheer on his men until he fel
