Captain William R. Seymour, of Company H, and eleven men, were captured by the rebel cavalry. On the 20th and 21st remained in the same position, and on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th marched to Goldsborough, where it went into camp on the 25th.

During the campaign the regiment has captured, as nearly as I can estimate, some 20 head of horses and 20 head of mules, burned 100 bales of cotton and 10 cotton-gins, and tore up about a mile and a half of railroad, and has lived almost entirely off the country. It is impossible to ascertain anything in regard to the amount of forage, as no records have been kept and as the officer who commanded the foraging party was captured.

In conclusion, I beg leave to return my thanks to the officers and men of the regiment for their uniform good conduct, soldiery bearing, and cheerful obedience to orders, wherever they have been placed.

I have the honor to remain, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JOHN B. LE SAGE,

Lieutenant-Colonel, Commanding.

Captain A. E. LEE,

Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.
