General Butterfield being ill, the undersigned took command of the brigade and marched it to camp, leaving Hanover at 3.30 p.m., but in consequence of detections made by the troops and trains ahead did not arrive in camp until 3.30 a.m. At this morning's roll call all were present, although half my command had marched some 30 miles. Both officers and men behaved nobly, without an exception. As the result of the engagement I have to report none known to be killed or wounded; 8 missing. There were no dead buried by this regiment.

Respectfully submitted.

H. S. LANSING,

Colonel, Seventeenth Regiment New York Volunteers.

Brigadier General D. BUTTERFIELD,

Commanding Third Brigade.

In behalf of the regiment I respectfully request that the howitzer be forwarded to Fortress Monroe, and from there to New York when the regiment shall return, to be turned over by them to the ordnance office, after their parade, previous to being mustered out of service.

Respectfully,

H. S. LANSING,

Colonel Seventeenth New York Volunteers.
