der of the brigade joined with Govan's brigade and participated in the second charge with that brigade. The regiment assisted in that charge in capturing quite a number of prisoners, several pieces of artillery, and 2 stand of colors. The regiment then, in obedience to orders, fell back to the first line of intrenchments and rejoined the brigade. About 5 o'clock another charge was made upon the enemy, in which about half the regiment reached the enemy's works, where they fought with bayonets and clubbed muskets; but the enemy being in strong force and offering stubborn resistance, we were finally compelled to fall back. The losses on the 22nd were - in killed, 5; wounded, 24; missing, 15.

On the 20th Captain B. R. Tyus, acting lieutenant-colonel, was wounded. On the 21st Captain Rhoads Risher, commanding regiment, was wounded in hip. Captain M. M. Houston assumed command, and in about ten minutes was himself wounded in the head. Captain S. E. Rice, commanding regiment on the 22d, was either killed or captured in the second charge. The command of the regiment then devolved upon the undersigned.

The officers and men of the regiment acted well and gallantly, even when compelled to fall back under heavy fire to prevent flanking by the enemy.
