Assistant Adjutant-General, Fifteenth Army Corps:

MAJOR: I have the honor to submit the following report of the movements of my division this instant:

I broke camp at 7. 30 a.m., and moving in advance of the Second Division, Fifteenth Army Corps, crossed White Oak Creek and continued on the Camden road, via Rock Spring Church, and until crossing Saunders' Creek, when, pursuant to orders from Major-General Hazen, I directed my column on a field road to the left via Kirkwood's, and within one mile and a half of Camden. Bearing well to the left, I continued on this road until striking the Cheraw and Camden road, upon which I moved as far as Hughes' Mills on Big Pine Tree Creek, crossing which I placed my command in bivouac. After crossing Saunders' Creek, by consent of General Hazen, I sent one regiment (Twelfth Illinois Volunteers) and four companies of another (Sixty-sixth Illinois Volunteers) into Camden, with proper instructions as to the destruction of Government property, stores, &c. This detachment of my divisioin, under Colonel Adams, met the enemy's cavalry I light force and drove them into and through the city, wounding two men and capturing several prisoners. The expedition burned 1,000 bales of cotton, the depot buildings, and a large building filled with flour and meal (sacked), several hoghsheads of sugar and rice, besides a flouring mill filled with corn and wheat; also cut the telegraph wires, recaptured and released seven men of the Second Division who were picked up by the enemy while foraging. About sixteen prisoners, including a captain and commissary of subsistence, were picket up by my command in and around Camden while passing. My command has marched a distance of twenty miles over heavy roads.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

JOHN M. CORSE,
