them, behaved with great coolness, as did the officers and men under their command. Lieutenant Stitt, my acting aide-de-camp, was here conspicuous for his good conduct.
On the morning of December 2, I moved, agreeably to instructions, be the right, and crossed the turnpike and occupied the position previously held by Anderson's division, my right resting at a small stream near a furnace. As soon as it was light I discovered that the enemy had retired from my front and pushed my skirmishers well forward to find his whereabouts.
A short time after sunrise I received orders to move to the turnpike and follow the division in pursuit of the enemy on the Germanna road. After marching some 5 or 6 miles on this road, I was ordered to countermarch, and bivouacked for the night near Locust Grove. The next morning I returned with the division to Morton's Ford.
The casualties in the brigade were as follows:

In closing this report, I feel it my duty to state that, in consequence of the extremely inclement weather, the constant labor, marching, and loss of sleep, my officers and men were greatly fatigued; notwithstanding, they were very vigilant, and evinced great cheerfulness and good conduct in the discharge of all their duties.
Very respectfully, &c.,
JUNIUS DANIEL,
Brigadier-General.
