surprise that I had not received the information. I have just received the following report from my brigade commander:

I have the honor to say that there was considerable firing just at daylight, and one post on the picket-line came in, but was immediately replaced by the officer in charge of that part of the line. No men were captured, and all is now quiet.

C. S. RUSSELL,

Colonel, Commanding Brigade.

The general must have been misinformed.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

EDW. FERRERO,

Brigadier-General, Commanding.

GENERAL: I have just received your dispatch of this p. m. Am sorry I did not see you this evening, but I presume you got all the information as to the state of things from General Meade, and am glad to hear you have made your dispositions accordingly. When you went out on the Squirrel Level road you passed the left of our position of last evening. This is the left of our present line. Am sorry to trouble you too much, but I would be glad to see you to-morrow at your convenience.
