orning, when it was withdrawn. We lost no pieces or caissons, but had two guns dismounted by the enemy's fire. We captured one twelve-pounder Napoleon (spiked) and carriage and caisson, with two other caissons and a limber, all of which were brought off. The gun and caisson were sent to Richmond, one caisson exchanged into Captain Poague's battery, and the other caisson and limber also sent to Richmond. It is due that I should call especial attention to the gallantry displayed by Major R. L. Andrews in this action. He was severely wounded, and, in our withdrawal, fell a prisoner into the hands of the enemy. Captain J. Carpenter, a most excellent officer, received a wound, from which he has since died, while fearlessly exposing himself in looking out a position for his battery. I have the honor to remain very respectfully, Your obedient servant, S. Crutchfield, Colonel and Chief Artillery Second Corps. Report of Captain Witcher, of twenty-first Virginia regiment.

ll. I saw at once the critical position in which we were placed. The Twelfth Georgia regiment, the four companies of the Fifty-second Virginia regiment, with Lieutenant-Colonel Skinner, and a part of the Fifty-eighth Virginia regiment, under Major Kasey, of my own brigade, had not given way, and Colonel Thomas's brigade was still left on my right. These troops were then isolated and in an advanced position, and had they given way, the day, in all probability, would have been lost. I could nf Brigadier-General.

confusion, some of the regiments standing firm — the Thirteenth Virginia, Twenty-first Virginia, and Twelfth Georgia. Thomas formed his line of battle along a fence bordering a cornfield, through which the enemy were advancing. After a short contest here, the enemy were hurled back. Pegram's and Fleet's batteries (the latter under command of Lieutenant Hardy) did heavy execution this day, and drove back several attempts to capture their guns. The Fourteenth Georgia, under the gallant Colonel Folsom, having become separated from the rest of the brigade by our fugitives, charged the advancing enemy, and with brilliant success. The enemy had now been driven from every part of the field, but made an attempt to retrieve his fortunes by a cavalry charge. Their squadrons, advancing across an open field in front of Branch, exposed their flank to him, and, encountering a deadly fire from the Fourteenth Georgia and Thirteenth Virginia, had many saddles emptied, and fled in utter disorder.

After deploying regiment as skirmishers, as directed by the General commanding the brigade, we advanced into the woods, between us and the enemy, about two hundred yards, where the left wing, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel Terrill, encountered the enemy's cavalry, consisting of a small squadron of two or three companies, that attempted to charge the line, but were driven back, with a known loss of two men and one horse killed. Farther on in the woods, the right ery destructive, and drove them from the field in confusion and disorder. After this charge, the enemy made no further stand, and we continued the pursuit, with the other troops, until it was discontinued, when I left them in charge of Lieutenant-Colonel Terrill, and reported to the General commanding brigade. It would be impossible for troops to behave better than mine did on this day. With a few exceptions, they fought bravely, obeying all the commands of their officers promptly and cheerful
