We held this position until about 5 p.m. when, the enemy having massed his forces on the left of our position we were ordered to advance, and support the troops already in position there. We made our advance in brigade line of battle, being exposed during this time to a heavy fire of musketry and artillery. We steadily drove the enemy, charging repeatedly, and finally caused them to retreat in utter confusion, though we were opposed by a greatly superior force. Both officers and men displayed the greatest gallantry and bravery, cheering and encouraging their comrades during the thickest of the fight. We drove the enemy for over half a mile through a thickly wooded and rocky country, and held our position until relieved by the Third Brigade. The strength of the regiment entering the fight was 90 men, all told. Out of this number we lost 1 officer and 7 enlisted men killed, 1 officer and 16 men wounded, and 3 enlisted men missing, supposed killed. I would beg to recommend to your notice for bravery and excellent conduct on the field the following -named officers: Captain Patrick Ryder, First Lieutenant Charles M. Granger and Thomas H. O’Brien, and Second Lieutenant Patrick J. McCabe; but the conduct of Adjt. William McClelland- severely wounded, since dead- deserves particular notice. At all times in the hottest part of the fight, he kept encouraging the men and inciting them to still greater deeds of valor, a brave soldier and a good man, whom we can ill afford to spare
