Everything remained in comparative quiet until 4 P. M., Feb. 6, when, upon advance of the Fifth Corps, the enemy opened with great vigor upon their whole line. After fighting about an hour and a half, the Fifth Corps fell back hastily, and in some confusion, leaving this regiment (in the extreme advance) in a very exposed position, its left flank entirely exposed to the enemy, from which, however, the regiment extracted itself without leaving its position. During the night of the 6th the firing was confined to the pickets.
On the afternoon of the 7th the Fifth Corps again advanced and succeeded in recovering their position. During the day a heavy shower of rain and snow rendered military movements almost impossible.
On the 8th the men began throwing up a permanent line of works, and on the 10th commenced a new winter camp in rear of the line, without anything of importance occurring until the 25th of March, except a Corps review by Gen. Grant, Gen. Meade and others on March 11th.
There were 135 recruits received at this camp, and the following transfers are recorded:
