Major MAX WOODHUL,
Assistant Adjutant-General:

I have the honor to report that my division broke camp at 7 a. m. to-day and marched four miles to the South Edisto River, where two regiments were deployed as skirmishers and pushed down to the river bank, and one sent above and one below that point to find crossings. An enemy was found at the point first approached, which proved to be a small brigade. Tree were felled in the river and a crossing effected, when four regiments were pushed over under command of Colonel Wells Jones, Fifty-third Ohio, commanidng Second Brigade, and moving upon the right flank of the enemy drove them from their works, capturing fifty-three officers and men. Several others were cut off from their commands and picked up by other commands. Both of the othe regiments succeeded perfectly in effecting crossings. The division was pushed over and moved to a point near the Orangeburg and Columbia road, about five miles from the latter place, where it camped for the night. My headquarters are with the troops. My losses to-day were 1 killed and 3 wounded.
