enemy. The enemy came up in large force and made a number of efforts to cross the creek, but were as often repulsed; the skirmishing, or rather fighting, along this line was, at times, very heavy. Our troops were well posted and were able to inflict much more loss on the enemy than they could on us. Every effort to cross the creek by the enemy on the evening of the 12th, proved fruitless. Firing ceased about nightfall. At 9 P. M., I was ordered quietly to withdraw in the direction of Drewry's Bluff, which I did, retiring to our fortifications. The next day, the 13th, the enemy followed us up, and there was heavy skirmishing, with occasionally hard fighting on this day and the 14th. At this time General Hoke seems to have had command of the division with which I was acting. On the 14th, manning the fortifications to our right was Ransom's (Matt.) brigade. About 11 o'clock on this day, Ransom's brigade was outflanked and driven from their position. This necessitated a change in

It was after dark when General Hagood received his orders, and being entirely ignorant of the localities, as well as unable to learn much from the confusered list. Lieutenants Smith, Vandeford and Chappell died of their wounds. Chappell was a young officer, whose good conduct at Walthall Station, and again at Drewry's Bluff, had attracted the attention of the brigade commander, and had in each instance procured him a compliment on the field. At first he seemed likely to recover
