The Thirty-eighth, the right of second line, advanced through an immense thicket under fire of enemy's skirmishers, who were driven by our skirmish line (of which Company D, Capt. James H. Low, formed a part) across an open field and into their works in woods beyond. The first line of brigade followed closely, putting up light works in edge of timber, while the second line was halted 100 yards in rear and also put up a light line of works. The first line now advancing became hotly engaged in the woods, the fight extending to the right for some distance with great fury. The other regiments from second line were ordered forward to support the first, leaving the Thirty-eight

No advance being made by the troops on the left of the railroad, the enemy rallied, advanced up their traversed line to within four rods of our position, and finally caused a withdrawal from that side of the road, after losing Major Carter, wounded, Captains Jenkins and Perry, wounded, and Lieutenant Osborn, killed, while enlisted men fell in proportion. Having now withdrawn to right bank of railroad, still occupying the full brigade front of rebel works (the Seventy-fourth Ohiough 41 were thus disposed of, but I am certain the estimate is none too high when I say 100 at least were sent to the rear by the regiment.
