191.-the pursuit of Wheeler.
Chattanooga, October 18, 1863. Major-General Halleck, General-in-Chief:
The following despatch has been received from Brigadier-General George Crook, commanding the Second cavalry division, dated Rogersville, Alabama, October tenth, 1863:
I have the honor to inform you that I have had three fights with the enemy since I left the Sequatachie valley, whipping them very badly each time.
The last battle ended at Farmington Farm, where I fought Wheeler er in the mountains.
When within eight miles of the river I struck the gallop, but when I reached the river I found they had all crossed at a ford some three miles above Samp's Ferry, where they could cross twelve abreast.
I never saw troops more demoralized than they were.
I am satisfied that their loss in this raid was not less than two thousand.
No fears need be entertained of their making another raid soon. George Crook, Brigadier-General Commanding. W. S. Rosecrans, Major-General.
