Respectfully referred to Col O. Brown Ass't Commr &c. 
The investigation goes to show that the Mill was being removed to prevent its falling into our hands; but that on the approach of our armies, it was abandoned, and left in the field, from whence it was removed, to its present position; that is what remained of the original Mill, (to wit) the main shaft, is now all that belonged to Mr Akin, which of course cannot be dispersed with.
