At the close of the en-gagement, the Sixty-fifthwas pushed forward tocover the retreat. It lostthree or four men wounded,but none killed. A bulletentered the head of Joe Gleason, of Company C, and lodgedunder one of his eyes, where it has remained up to the presenttime. The rebels did not leave their intrenchments, and we fellback to our original position. When the Sixty-fifth was ordered to cover the withdrawal ofthe Sixty-fourth, it was halted some three hundred yards fromthe rebel works, and so disposed as to be in position to check theenemy, should he attempt a counter-assault. Officers and men. JAMES A. MOODY,ARTIFICER, SIXTH BATTERY. 186 j 521
