CAMP MISSION RIDGE,

September 28, 1863.

On Saturday, the 19th, we crossed the Chickamauga and moved north several miles to the road leading to Anderson's Bridge; then moved to the left again a short distance, where we engaged the enemy under disadvantageous circumstances and soon fell back, where we remained until the 20th instant, exposed to fire from the enemy's artillery all the time.

In the evening of the 20th, we were moved rapidly to the right, where we remained during the night.

In the evening of the 21st, we moved to the right of General Liddell, where we remained until late in the afternoon, when we took up the march for this place.

Respectfully submitted.

E. E. TANSIL.
