I take the liberty to add, in continuation of this report, that the three Connecticut regiments, and a part of the Second Maine Volunteers, of my brigade, left their camp near Centreville at about 10 o'clock P. M., by order of Gen. Tyler, and arrived at Camp McDowell, six and a half miles from the Potomac, at dawn of day the morning after the battle. The camps of my four regiments and half of one company of cavalry were standing, and during the day I learned that the Ohio camp, a mile and a quarter this way, was vacant of troops, and the camp of the New York Second had only a guard of fifty or sixty men left in it.

The Maine regiments are encamped at Falls Church village, immediately northwest of the Connecticut camps, in in Gen. Tyler's brigade. Our pickets in that direction extend three miles or more. The reports from the various camps continue to report affairs quiet.
