Numbers 195. Report of Colonel Patrick H. O'Rorke, One hundred and fortieth New York Infantry, commanding Third Brigade.

CAMP NEAR POTOMAC CREEK, VA., May 7, 1863.

SIR: In compliance with special orders of this date from division headquarters, I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of the Third Brigade during the recent movements of this army:

On the morning of April 27, the brigade broke camp and moved with the division, encamping for the night at Hartwood Church.

When the head of the column met the enemy advancing from Fredericksburg, the Third Brigade was deployed in line of battle, extending across the road, and advanced to the support of the troops in our front until halted by General Sykes.

The Fifth New York Volunteers also deployed skirmishers through the woods on the left of the division. Some of these skirmishers were captured by the enemy. Their names are given in the list of casualties. When ordered to retire, the brigade fell back in line of battle, in good order, until behind the Second Corps, when it was formed in column in
