ield. Major Gaillard, of the Second regiment, was charged with the important and responsible duty of directing the movements of the skirmishers during the day. This duty he discharged with great judgment and gallantry. His horse was killed under him during the engagement. He was efficiently assisted in the duties of his position by Major Rutherford, Third South Carolina volunteers. Captain Kemper and the officers and men under his command maintained the high reputation they established at Vienna, Bull Run, and Manassas. For particular mention of such of the company officers as require especial notice, I respectfully refer to the reports of the regimental commanders, which accompany this. This action being closed by the approach of a stormy night, my command, reinforced by the Eighteenth Mississippi regiment, Colonel Griffin, lay upon their arms on the field of battle until daylight, when it was ascertained that the enemy had disappeared.

e impression prevailed with General Lee that the guns lost in the engagement at Malvern Hill, on the thirtieth of June, belonged to a North Carolina battery. This battery, under command of Captain T. H. Brem, was the only one from North Carolina in the battle, and lost no guns at all. Since that time, Captain Brem having resigned, I have been promoted to the captaincy. And I presume the mistake has arisen in consequence of the identity of the two names — that of Captain Graham, from Petersburg, Virginia, (who lost two guns,) and my own. His case is now undergoing an examination before a court-martial in Petersburg. At the time of the engagement we were in General Holmes's division, and under the immediate supervision of Colonel Deshler, his Chief of Artillery.

I found in the river, in the vicinity of Yorktown, two gunboats and a large transport. I sent a party to burn the huts at Gloucester Point, and also the wharf at that place, in order to prevent the landing of cr Point reported to me that the guns in the fort at York had been bursted some short time before. The reports induced me to believe that the enemy is evacuating Yorktown. I am, Captain, respectfully, W. T. Robins, First Lieutenant, commanding Scout.

Having again resumed the line of march, I advanced the main column to a point about four miles from Gloucester Point, and sent forward a small party, and established my pickets at the point, in full sight of the enemy at York and his gunboats in the river, in order that I might watch him closely, to prevent his either landing in front, or sending troops up the river tmilitary stores.

manding the cavalry the necessity of keeping a small cavalry force in the vicinity of Gloucester Point, say one squadron, which would be subsisted (both men and horses) without expense to the Government, for the purpose of protecting the road leading to Richmond. If this were done, large quantities of beef, mutton, bacon, and such things as are necessary for the sick and wounded, would be sent to the latter place. This force would keep open the road to Richmond, leading from the counties of King and Queen, Essex, Middlesex, and Matthews, in all of which counties are large military stores.
