At break of day the line moved from Brunswick & by evening the whole encamped at Amboy excepting some Regiments that marched through and ferried to Staaten Island. During this day 2 skirmishes happened and one Carronade from the rebels that brought in our rear, two 12 pounders and 3 Battalions with their colours red, yellow and white. We had one man killed and about 16 wounded, the rebels lost some and we took from them a Captain by the name of Porter.
