Numbers 30. Report of Brigadier General Henry D. Clayton, C. S. Army, commanding brigade.

CLAYTON'S BRIGADE,

On the Field, February 25, 1864-7.30 p. m.

MAJOR: Herewith I submit report of casualties in this brigade in the engagement of yesterday and to-day. It will be seen that there have been killed 6 men; mortally and dangerously wounded, 2 officers and 2 men; slightly, 22. Total, 55.*

On yesterday evening [at] 5 o'clock, I received orders to march my brigade up Crow's Valley and meet the enemy. On reaching former camp with the head of the brigade, I found a line of battle advancing about 300 yards distant with skirmishers in front. Captain Greene, of the Eighteenth Alabama, who had been on picket with two companies, was fighting gallantly. Bringing the brigade into line in all haste, I immediately moved forward. The enemy moved rapidly, as if endeavoring to gain the cabins, and nearly succeeded din doing so. They waited only to receive a few volleys before giving way in great confusion. I continued the pursuit about a half mile. The enemy fired 6 shots from artillery. By request, Major-General Stewart promptly sen time two pieces of artillery, but the enemy retired under cover of hills and I did not use them, but moved my infantry forward again and recovered my present advantageous position.

At 4 o'clock this evening, the enemy moved a line something longer than my own upon my front. Having driven them back, another line of about the same length immediately renewed the attack and were likewise repulsed.

I am, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

H. D. CLAYTON,

Brigadier-General.

Major REEVE, A. A. G., Stevenson's Command.
