Rebel newspapers frequently afford information of the greatest value even when, to the casual observer, they seem to contain no items of any importance. Hereafter all such papers received within our lines, whether by gift, purchase, or exchange, by any commissioned officer or enlisted man, will be immediately sent to these headquarters, in order that they may be forwarded to the major-general commanding.

By order of Brigadier General A. H. Terry:

A. TERRY,

Captain and Assistant Adjutant-General.

HDQRS. FIRST Brigadier, FIRST DIV., TENTH ARMY CORPS,

Captain ADRIAN TERRY,

Assistant Adjutant-General:

CAPTAIN: I have the honor most respectfully to make the following report of operations on the picket-line in front of this brigade during the past twenty-four hours: The enemy still continue to work at the fort which was blown up by us, extending and strengthening their lines, making work which will cause us much trouble when completed. During yesterday they were throwing dirt on the right of the railroad close to the deep cut. Our trenches are being placed in as good condition as possible. I would state that in our front near the ravine are three dead bodies (our men) unburied. We cannot get to them to bury them unless under a flag of truce. During the night constant firing has been kept up by the enemy's pickets.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

FRANCIS B. POND,

Colonel Sixty-second Ohio Volunteers, Commanding First Brigade.
