structing breast-works. I at once, in obedience to orders from brigade headquarters, threw out a few pickets, and also employed a part of my command in strengthening the earth-works in our front. During the afternoon heavy musketry firing was heard on our left, and several pieces of the enemy's artillery opened fire (with shell) in our front. As my command was sheltered by breast-works, it did not suffer any there-from. We remained in the same position until Thursday morning, 8th instant, and then moved back to our present camp.

No casualties occurred during the movement in my command.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

LIEUTENANT: Pursuant to instructions, I have the honor to submit to the 7th instant, inclusive:

On the 5th instant, as per orders, the command moved out in front of the Cummings house and formed line on left of brigade. The enemy hereupon opened with musketry almost before the alignment was completed. The line not being complete at the right, by direction of brevet brigadier-general commanding, the regiment was moved to that position on double-quick at this juncture. By this time the enemy had commenced shelling the position. One man of the command was wounded. On the 6th and 7th instant the same position was held, nothing of importance transpiring.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
