n then a few had to go on foot. Here information was received that the enemy in the valley of Courtland were informed of our movements, and were advancing on us, under Colonel Roddy. We left Moulton before daylight in the morning, in order to get out of their way, not thinking that they would pursue very far so long as General Dodge made a demonstration before them. Camped at night at Day's Gap, enjoying the first full night's rest since we left Tuscumbia. On the morning of the thirtieth of April, shortly after leaving camp, our rear was fired into. The enemy soon opened on us with two pieces of artillery, doing very little damage. In a very short time the brigade dismounted, and were disposed on the crest of a hill on both sides of the road, with orders to hold their fire until the enemy came very near. They moved their artillery very near, and threw their shells far over us. We had two small pieces of artillery, which were used with precision and effect, under the command

Beside the heavy artillery at this place, four field-pieces were captured, and some stores, and the enemy was driven to destroy many more. The country is the most broken and d

First Brigade Third Division, Eleventh Army Corps: sir: In regard to the part my regiment took in the action on Saturday, May second, I beg leave to report: The regiment arrived with the brigade, at a place near Hoskins's Farm, on the thirtieth of April between six and seven o'clock P. M. On the first of May at ten P. M., a working party, consisting of two hundred men, with a guard of one hundred men, for protection, under command of Major Rolshausen, were ordered out to blockade the road ksburgh, on the Rappahannock, where we bivouacked for the night.

All fires were prohibited, all bugle calls were suspended, and orders were delivered sotto voce, so that the enemy should have no opportunity whatever of judging of the number or position of the force. These precautions were carefully observed during the nine days campaign, and to this may be attributed in part the success of the enterprise with so little loss. Thursday morning, (April thirtieth,) the whole command was aroused from slumber before daylight; after a little shaking and wringing, boots and saddle was whispered to the different commanders, and we were soon upon the road again. The facility with which man adapts himself to any circumstances — particularly if a little disagreeable in point of fact — was exemplified this morning. The night had been cold and wet, just about as disagreeable weather as one meets during a lifetime, and nearly every body was drenched to t
