Col. Devens' report.
Headquarters Fifteenth regiment mass. Vol., Poolesville, Md., Oct. 23, 1861.
General: I respectfully report that about twelve o'clock Sunday night, October 20, I crossed the Potomac, by your order, from Harrison's Island to the Virginia shore, with five companies, numbering about three hundred men, of my regiment, with the intention of taking a rebel camp reported by scouts to be situated at the distance of about a mile from the river, of destroying the same, of observing the country around, and of returning to the river or of waiting and reporting if I thought myself able to remain for reinforcements, or if I found a position capable of being defended against a largely superior force.
Having only three boats, which, together, conveyed about thirty men, it was nearly four o'clock when all the force was transferred to the opposite shore.
