12 m., when we marched with the division toward Goldsborough, where we arrived on the 24th and went into our present camp, having marched since we left Savannah 500 miles. The brigade took about 100 prisoners during the campaign and captured probably 100 stand of small-arms.

Our loss in the campaign is 5 enlisted men killed; 17 wounded, and 10 missing. The ten missing men all belonged to the foraging parties of the brigade, and were no doubt captured by the enemy's cavalry.

I cannot close this report without expressing my admiration for the patience and courage the officers and men of this brigade have shown during the long and arduous campaign which has just closed, often without bread, and many of them barefooted and destitute of clothing to make them comfortable; inspired by the zeal of truce patriots they have cheerfully performed all their duties.

To my staff officers I am under many obligations of the intelligence and zeal which they have displayed in the discharge of their onerous duties. I cheerfully commend them to the favorable consideration of their superior officers.

I am, captain, very respectfully, your obedient servant,

W. S. JONES,

Colonel, Commanding.
