Lieutenant Colonel MAX. WOODHULL,

Assistant Adjutant-General, Fifteenth Army Corps:

COLONEL: I respectfully report that I left my camp of last night at 6 a. m. to-day, movng out after General John E. Smith in the direction of Raleigh. My advance was considerably delayed from the fact that I spent consiederable time in corduroying the road over which I was passing, doing this to facilitate the moving of the trains that were following in my rear. When within some three miles of the Neuse River I struck the main Releigh road and found the Fourth Division of this corps movng on it, following the rear of General smith. However, I moved my division along the left of the road, crossing over the Neuse River with the Fourth Division, and camping about one mile and a half beyond the bridge on the right of the Third Division. My headquarters are near those of Department of the Tennessee.

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

C. R. WOODS,

Brevet Major-General.
