Last night I gave orders for the 24-pounder siege guns to fire during the night, should any attempt be made to bring a piece into position at Edwards' house. I see no indications of its being in position yet. The enemy's sharpshooters have advanced as far as the mound near Colonel Pitts' former headquarters. One wounded, Sixtieth Tennessee Regiment; two wounded, Sixty-SECOND Tennessee Regiment.

Major: I have the honor to submit the following report of operations on my line yesterday:
The usual sharpshooting, interspersed with artillery fire, was kept up by the enemy during the day. Major Stevens' command, near the mouth of Mint Spring Bayou, was ordered to keep up a heavy fire on the mound during the night, should any attempt be made by the enemy to throw up new works at that point, which, I think, was successful, as no new works can be discovered at that point. One wounded, Sixtieth Tennessee; one wounded, Sixty-SECOND Tennessee; one wounded, THIRD Battalion Mississippi State troops,
Very respectfully,&c.,
JNumber C. VAUGHN,
Brigadier-general.
