HEADQUARTERS THIRD BRIGADE, CAVALRY COMMAND

MILITARY DIVISION OF THE MISSISSIPPI,
Faison's Depot, N. C. March 30, 1865.

MAJOR: I have the honor to report that, in obedience to orders received from your headquarters, on the 28th, of January last, this command, consisting of the First Alabama Cavalry, Major Cramer commanding; Fifth Kentucky Cavalry, Major C. T. Cheek commanding; and the Fifth Ohio Cavalry, Major Rader commanding and Lieutenant Stetson commanding section of the Tenth Wisconsin Battery, broke camp on the Little Ogeechee River, Ga., ten miles from Savannah, and marched to Sister's Ferry, Ga., arriving there on the following evening.

Being ordered to go into camp there I commenced putting the command into camp, when the picket-post on the Aiken road was attacked. I immediately re-enforced the post with two squadrons of the First Alabama Cavalry, under Captain Latty, with orders to feel of the enemy and endeavor to ascertain what force was in the vicinity, and I ceased further preparations for going into camp for the present. The firing in the advance becoming quite heavy, I ordered Major Cramer to
