quarters. After being in this position forty minuter, I was ordered to take up a position on the same ground occupied by this regiment the day before, previous to going into action. At 1. 30 p. m. I was ordered to move forward to a stone fence. Soon after being in this position, I was ordered to change position, and was conducted to the right, behind a battery, where I remained during the afternoon. The fire of the artillery was kept up all afternoon. The casualties in my command, through, were trifling, 2 men being slightly wounded. At 8 p. m. I was ordered to move forward to act as a picket during the night, which was done. Here we remained until morning behind temporary earthworks. My command behaved well during the two day's battle, and as all did well and deserve praise, I will not particularly speak of any one.
