HDQRS. FIRST Brigadier, THIRD DIV., FOURTH ARMY CORPS,
Camp Green, Near Huntsville, Ala., January 8, 1865.

My brigade occupied, previous to the engagement, the hill to right and front of Mars. Acklen's residence, with our right resting on the Hillsborough pike and immediately in front of the enemy's works on Montgomery Hill.

The enemy fled in confusion, the Fifty-first Indiana Volunteers and Eighth Kansas Volunteers and portions of the other regiments pursuing for
