Report of Brig. Gen. Alexander W. Reynolds, C. S. Army., com-
manding brigade.
FEBRUARY 25, 1864.
MAJOR: My skirmishers have been engaged since early this morn-
ing, and have kept back the enemy. About 12 o'clock General Clay-
ton sent me two regiments to extend my left to the mountain. About
the time they got into position the enemy advanced in force and a
fight ensued. General Clayton, with a third regiment, came up and
took command of the left. The fight was entirely successful, driving
the enemy back twice. My own troops have been under a heavy
fire of shell and canister for several hours. All behaved well. The
list of killed and wounded find below :
Sixty-third Virginia, 5 wouded; Fifty-eighth and Sixtieth North
Carolina Regiments, 24 wounded, 3 mortally; Fifty-fourth Virginia
Regiment, 12 men wounded.*
Respectfully,
A. W. REYNOLDS,
Brigadier- General.

HDQRS. HOTCHKISS' ARTILLERY BATTALION,
In the Field, February 25, 1864.
MAJOR: I have the honor to report that all the batteries of this
battalion have been engaged to some extent to-day. Key's battery,
the first to open fire on a brigade of infantry moving on the left of
our line, distance about 700 yards, fired about nine shots per piece.

had pointing ring broken, but was soon repointed; the other section
engaged a rifle battery of the enemy, forcing them to retire, distance
about 1,700 yards. Loss, 1 man slightly wounded. Semple's battery
engaged a rifle battery; effect good; enemy's battery driven from
position. Loss, 1 man slightly wounded.
Very respectfully,
T. R. HOTCHKISS,
Major, Commanding.
