moved down the river under cover of the bank and formed as skirmishers. He moved on the double-quick, driving the rebels out of their holes and capturing 115 prisoners.

The artillery in the forts rendered great assistance. About noon, by direction of the General commanding, I ordered Colonel Morgan, 14th U. S. C. I., now numbering about 500 men, to charge a battery on the river bank, planted by the enemy during the previous night.
