and a section of artillery, drove in the pickets of the brigade and sought to enter the works. The attack was easily repulsed and without a casualty in the brigade. The enemy left 2 men killed and 2 men wounded on the field. From a prisoner captured it was learned that from 15 to 20 men had been carried away wounded. November 13, acting under the orders of the general commanding DIVISION, the brigade was engaged part of this day in destroying the railroad from the water-tank to a point two miles and a quarter therefrom in the direction of the Chattahoochee River by burning the ties and bending and twisting the rails, and of which a special report was made the day following. For some days previous to November 15, 1864, active preparations were made for the campaign which commenced that day. *

Respectfully submitted.
