r with those already sent to Snickersville, making twenty-two in all, were sent to your headquarters for disposal. We pursued them about five miles in the direction of Point of Rocks. Learning that there was a force of about sixty cavalry in Poolesville, I determined to push forward to that place; sent my worst horses back; sent a squad of men to watch the enemy at Harper's Ferry; they charged the pickets, capturing twenty-six, which were paroled. I crossed the Potomac at Conrad's Ferry with ninety-three men about one hour by sun; arrived at Poolesville about eight P. M. Before entering the town I learned that about one half of their force had gone on a scout; and that the remainder were quartered in the town hall. Divided my force and charged it in two directions. Upon surrounding the hall and demanding its surrender, was answered with a volley from door and windows; we returned the fire with good effect, killing a lieutenant and the orderly sergeant, and wounding eight, includ

arters division, December 24, 1862. Captain A. S. Pendleton, A. A. G.: Captain: I have the honor to report the operations of my command around Fredericksburg. On the third December my division was sent to Port Royal, to prevent the crossing of the Yankees at or near that point. Four Yankee gunboats were then lying opposite the town. Rifle-pits were constructed above the town on the night of the fourth, to prevent the pirates from ascending; and Hardaway's Whitworth gun was placed on Jack's Hill, some three miles below the town, and his remaining two guns, with Carter's Parrott's, were placed on the hill due west of the town. Hardaway opened upon the gunboats about three o'clock, on the fifth instant. Finding the fire too hot for them, they fled back to town, where they were sheltered from Carter's fire. Hardaway continued to pelt them; and, to stop his fire, (as is supposed,) the ruffians commenced shelling the town, full of women and children. The town was partially destroy

n Creek. Two regiments from General Anderson's division picketed the river bank above the town, reporting to the Brigadier-General in charge of the brigade on duty in the city. The orders were, that two guns should be fired from one of my batteries in a central position, which would be the signal that the enemy was attempting to cross. These were the positions of my command and the orders governing them up to the tenth instant. On that day, the brigade of General Barksdale, composed of Mississippi troops, was on duty in the city. About two o'clock A. M., on the eleventh, General Barksdale sent me word that the movements of the enemy indicated they were preparing to lay down their pontoon bridges, and his men were getting into position to defend the crossing. About half past 4 he notified me that the bridges were being placed, and he would open fire so soon as the working parties came in good range of his rifles. I gave the order, and the signal guns were fired about five o'clock

ows; we returned the fire with good effect, killing a lieutenant and the orderly sergeant, and wounding eight, including the lieutenant commanding. The hall was then surrendered; we captured twenty-one prisoners, all of whom we paroled. Our loss was one man killed. Some of the enemy were scattered around the town, and when they heard the firing, made good their escape. We also captured forty-three horses, and destroyed all the stores, consisting of clothing of various kinds, blankets, Enfield rifles and muskets, also a large lot of commissary stores, together with wagons, &c. Remained in the town for several hours, and recrossed the Potomac at White's Ford. Whilst camped at the Trap, I sent a scout to Leesburg on the twentieth; they captured eight prisoners and paroled them. I send you a list of names of all prisoners captured and paroled during my scout. Elijah V. White, Major, commanding Battalion. Report of Captain Latimer. camp near Port Royal, December 25, 186

ptain Lang's report, to which I call your attention. I addressed a note to Brigadier-General Barksdale, relative to three companies of this regiment, which were detailed from the regiment by General Barksdale, and assigned to a position apart from the regiment. General Barksdale replied that they were probably taken prisoners by the enemy. I have been able to obtain no further information upon the subject. I respectfully call to the attention of the General the gallant conduct of the Donaldsonville battery throughout the entire engagement. Both officers and men stood bravely and faithfully at their posts, and, while exposed to an unusually heavy fire, the guns were handled with masterly skill and with great effect. The loss in the brigade is ninety-four killed, wounded, and missing. Of this number, eight were killed, forty-three wounded, and forty-three missing. Of these, the Eighth Florida regiment lost seven killed, thirty-seven wounded, and forty-three missing. The Fifth Flo

th instant. I camped that night near Hillsborough. On the thirteenth I captured twelve infantrymen in the neighborhood of Hillsborough, whom I sent back to Snickersville. I learned from them that the enemy had gone in the direction of Leesburg, and had about three hours start. I immediately ordered an advanced guard to push them as rapidly as possible, and learn the force of their rear guard. My advance captured six infantrymen on the way, who were also sent to Snickersville. I reached Leesburg about three P. M. The enemy's cavalry left the town as we came in sight. My advance pushed on, and encountered them about three miles below Leesburg, on the them through the town, killing one of their lieutenants and capturing their orderly sergeant and one private; both of whom, together with those already sent to Snickersville, making twenty-two in all, were sent to your headquarters for disposal.

I beg leave to mention also Brigadier-General Cadmus M. Wilcox, and to ask attention to his long-continued and uniformly meritorious conduct in his present grade. I have witnessed his courage, zeal and ability, and have received most efficient cooperation from him, in the battles of Williamsburg, Seven Pines, Gaines's Mill, Frazier's Farm, Second Manassas and Fredericksburg. I earnestly recommend his promotion. Mr. Jett, an engineer attached to my division, rendered good service in the erection of field works making and repairing roads, digging rifle-pits and trenches, and such like work.
