Major MAX, WOODHULL,

Assistant Adjutant-General, Fifteenth Army Corps:

MAJOR: I respectfully report that my division is still occupying the position as stated in my communication of last night. My pioneer corps, as well as troops of my command, have been busily engaged during the day in constructing an infantry crossing over Big Lynch's Creek. They have been much interefered with by the engineer party there at work, so that my labor is not so far advanced as it would otherwise have been.

I am, major, very respectfully,

Major General F. P. BLAIR,

Commanding Seventeenth Army Corps:

GENERAL: A letter just received from General Sherman directs is to move slowly, on account of some unavoidable delay of the left Wing, so that the march to Cheraw can be extended to four days instead of three. The general directs that you need do nothing further to-day than cross Lynch's Creek, with everything in readiness to move to-morrow. When you move, keep the column well closed up. It is reported by deserters that General Hardee is moving from Florence toward Charlotte with 100 guans and a long train, with about 4,000 or 5,000 men guarding them. The general wishes you to find out all you can in regard to his movements. The rear of his column was supposed to be at Cheraw last night.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

A.m. VAN YKE,

Assistant Adjutant-General.
