Major MAX WOODHULL,

Assistant Adjutant-General, Fifteenth Army Corps:

MAJOR: I respectfully report that in accordance with orders, I broke camp near Flat Rock Church at 7 a.m., marching by way of McDowell's and Young's to my present camp at West's Cross-Roads, making a distance of fifteen miles over the heaviest roads. I was obliged to do a great deal of corduroying, and over one stream on the line of march to make a bridge some fifty feet in lenght. The Third Brigade of my division is still back at Red Hill. The commanding officer has just sent me world that he will probably not move to-day, as at 4 a.m. the pontoon boats had not been taken up. I saw no evidence of the enemy to-day. My troops are encamped looking eastward, my headquarters being near to the cross-roads.

I am, major, very respectfully,

C. R. WOODS,

Brevet Major-General.

HDQRS. SECOND DIVISION, FIFTEENTH ARMY CORPS,
Hughes' Mills, S. C., February 24, 1865.

Major MAX. WOODHULL, Assistant Adjutant-General:

I have the honor to report aht this division, preceeded by the Fourth, arrived here at 4 p.m., which is as near West's as the command can well be put to-night. I can find no one who knows anything about West's. This is on the direct Camden and Cheraw road, six miles from the former place and fourteen from the crossing of Lynch's Creek at Tiller's. The roads to-day have been very good, notwithstanding the rain; have been plain, and I have kept as far to the left as I could find roads. My right flank brushed Camden, one regiment passing through it. The road to Lynch's Creek is direct and good.

I am, respectfully,

W. B. HAZEN,

Major-General.
