The day before yesterday our Division

posed to be located on the opposite side
of Deep Creek. Our Regiment was the
advanced guard, aud Companies A and 6,
the former commanded by Capt. CLARK,
of Manitowoc, and the latter by Captain
BrGH, of Berlin, were thrown forward as
skirmishers. We crossed the creek, hay
ing previously driven in the ensmy's pick,

found a slight earth work and good place
for battery, bu: no guns mounted. The
enemy are IN no force IN thls heiSnDoE-

The main army of the Potomac will
move forward on Richmond, advancing be
