CAPTAIN: I have the honor to submit report of the movements of First Brigade, Second Division, Fifteenth Army Corps, from the 15th instant to present date:

April 15, the brigade in camp three miles and a half northeast of Raleigh. April 17, the brigade changed location of camp to one mile east of Raleigh. The line being established, the usual routine of laying out camp, regulating streets and quarters, and policing the same, the time of both officers and men was occupied until completed. Since then the troops have been acquiring an efficiency in the usual drills. Guard mounts, parades, the orders of camp and its duties were strictly enforced, guards well posted, and the duties strictly adhered to. April 29, the brigade broke camp at 9 a.m. ; took up line of march at 10 a.m. in the direction of Louisburg, N. C., crossed Neuse River at 4 p . m. Encamped for the night at Rogers' Cross-Roads at 5 p.m., marching eleven miles. April 30, the brigade in camp at Rogers' Cross-Roads. Orders to muster for pay. Much interest is felt by many officers of this command in reference to company books and valuable papers, in view of closing accounts with the United States Government in anticipated of mustering out the service in a short time, their papers in part [being] beyond their control, by orders from superior headquarters. Mention is made of this that it may ultimately result in relieving the officers of that which is of so much importance.
