December 13 .- At daylight the brigade was formed in line of battle This regiment and the Twenty-first New York Volunteers forming the first line, and ad- vanced to the left and toward a wooded ravine occu- pied by the enemy. The enemy having been driven from this position the brigade changed direction to the right and marched under a heavy fire of the en- emy's artillery to the Bowling Green Road, which was occupied by the first line. We remained in this position about an hour. and until the advance had been checked on the right, the enemy meanwhile pouring a constant shower of shot and . hell from their batteries, which were not more than five or six hun- dred yards in front, when we were ordered at a double quick toward the right. We had proceeded about half a milé in this direction when we were countermarched and took up a position in a ravine to the rear, and a little to the right of the position we had occupied in the Bowling Green Road, in support of several batter- ies, which drew on us a heavy fire of artillery. Soon after r aching this position (the enemy having during our march to the right planted a section of artillery on the road leading from the Telegraph to the Bow ling

Green Road, and thrown forward their skirmisher's who severel -. annoyed our cannoniers). Company F, Captain Corbin, Company K, Captain Baldwin, and Comp ny. A. Captain McEntee. were deployed as skirmishers. They advanced rapidly under a heavy fire from the enemy's skirmishers ; drove them back, and took up a line in the Bowling Green Road where they soon silenced the section of artillery before men- tioned, killing sever 1 of the gunners and three horses. These companies remained in this posi ion until after dark. when they were relieved ty the Twenty-third Regin.ent New York Volunteers. At dark the regi- ment took up a position one hundred yards to the right and rear, and rema ned there during the night. being treated in the early part of the evening to a copious discharge of grape and canister. At day- light the line advanced about fifty vards, and Com- pany. B. Captain Lesue, and Company E. Captain Cornelins, were thrown forward as skirmisher>. They advanced, driving the enemy back, and took a line by order of General Doubleday, extending from a group o! straw stacks to the Bowling Green Road. The tiring along this line was brisk and uninterrupted dur ng the whole day. The ammunition of the companies having become exhausted. they were relieved about 4 P. M., by Company H. Captain A. S.
