Battery F
'They cut one of our gun limbers in pieces with a shell and killed one horse, whilst we dismounted ten guns for them. It rained continually until the 15th, when we again opened fire on the enemy, and after firing 131 rounds they fell back, and our corps moved forward one mile and occupied two lines of works. On the 17th advanced 21/2 miles, and had another skirmish with them, but received no damage. Were marching here and there to counteract the enemy's movements until the afternoon of the 22d, when, being in position at the intersection of the Powder Spring and Marietta roads, and three miles southwest of Marietta, the rebels charged our lines, driving in the first line upon the second, when our battery opened upon them at a distance of 400 yards with shell and canister, and finally drove them back with heavy loss.
