to the difficult nature of the ground over which we passed that his skirmishers became disconnected from those of the First Brigade, thus giving room for the enemy's cavalry to dash between them.

Inclosed are reports of Brigadier General J. W. Fuller, commanding First Brigade; Colonel John Tillson, commanding Third Brigade, and Lieutenant Colonel J. M. Rusk, commanding a regiment of the Second Brigade which was in reserve with the battery and four companies of which were deployed as skirmishers to connect with my left and the right of the main line.

A list of casualties has already been forwarded *
