Brevet Major-General WEBB,
Chief of Staff:

I have the honor to send the following report: Captain B. C. Clement, with one sergeant and thirteen men of Sixteenth North Carolina Cavalry, Roberts' brigade, Lee's division, have just been received. They were captured this morning by three men of the First Division sharpshooters, Major Jacklin commanding. These three men went through the lines of the Second Corps to find the First Division [which had moved early this morning from its former position], and after passing around the picket-line of the Second Corps came upon these men in two squads and captured them. The names of the captors are W. M. Cronkite, A. McCrory, and William Stubel, all of the Sixteens Michigan Veteran Volunteers, detailed as sharpshooters. The horses of the prisoners were brought in with them. Our escort being short of horses they have been retained here. The prisoners will be sent up at once.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

FRED. T. LOCKE,

Colonel and Assistant Adjutant-General.
