HDQRS. BATTERY I, FIRST NEW YORK ARTILLERY,
Near Goldsborough, N. C., March 25, 1865.

LIEUTENANT: In compliance with instructions from artillery headquarters, Twentieth Army Corps, I have the honor to submit the following report of engagements participated in by this battery during the recent campaign just closed; also tabular statement showing casualties and kinds of ammunition used:

The battery broke camp at Savannah, Ga., January 18, 1865, crossing the river at that point and joining the Third Division, Twentieth Army Corps, at Hardeeville, S. C. During the day one section under Lieutenant Scott was sent down to the river at Purysburg and put in position remaining there until the morning of January 29, 1865, when the battery again broke camp, marching with the troops of the Third Division, Twentieth Army Corps, until the afternoon of February 2, 1865. When near Lawtonville, S. C., found the enemy's dismounted cavalry strongly posted in the skirts of a dense swamp, when one section was ordered by Major J. A. Reynolds to be brought forward and put in position, firing twelve rounds with no casualties.

The command was not again engaged until March 2, 1865, when a section was placed in position on a hill, near Chesterfield Court-House, S. C., where the enemy was strongly posted on the opposite side of Johnson's [Thompson's?] Creek, both with artillery and dismounted cavalry; after firing thirteen rounds caused him to withdraw his artillery without loss to us. On the morning of the 3rd day of March we again moved with the troops of the Twentieth Army Corps, marching with the different divisions until the morning of the 16th day of March,
