HDQRS. FIRST DIVISION FIFTEENTH ARMY CORPS,
Near Pineville, N. C., April 12, 1865.

Lieutenant-Colonel WOODHULL,

Assistant Adjutant-General, Fifteenth Army Corps:

COLONEL: I respectfully report that in comphance with your orders I left my camp at the forks of the Smithfield and Pineville roads this morning at 6. 30 o'clock, moving out in the direction of Pineville. I have met with no opposition during the entire day, the cavalry in my front driving the rebels before them with but little trouble. In compliance with your instructions I moved very slowly, corduroying the road well as I passed over it, so as to afford an easy passage for the trains. I reached Pineville between 2 and 3 o'clock, going into camp about one mile and a half beyond the town, selecting a good ridge on the right of the Raleigh road and encamping my division in line, with my headquarters adjacent to those of the Fifteenth Army Corps. My division has made twelve miles since leaving camp this morning. No casualties are reported me for to-day.

I am, colonel, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

C. R. WOODS,

Brevet Major-General.
