At 2 p. m.,torious, I got my command together near the enemy's works, where I remained until 6 p. m., when I received orders to encamp for the night. During the engagement the piece of which William McKeith is gunner, and had had its limber-chest blown up by one of the enemy's shells bursting in it early in the engagement, was successful in dismounting one 24 -pounder gun for the enemy.

List of casualties during the day-was as follows: One limber-chest and contents, including 45 rounds of 20-pounder ammunition, completely destroyed by being blown up by one of the enemy's shells bursting in it; Captain Jacob T. Foster, wounded in the left shoulder; Cannoneer Charles Withes seriously wounded by being burned and bruised by explosion of limber-chest; and Drivers Dedrick and J. Castles slightly wounded by being thrown from their horses and afterward run over.

Hoping this may be satisfactory to you, I remain, captain, your obedient servant,

CHAS. B. KIMBALL,

First Lieutenant, Commanding First Wisconsin Battery.

Acting Assistant Adjutant-General.
