Colonel Kirk, commanding the Fifth brigade of General Sill's division, made a reconnoissance from Nashville toward La Vergne, Tenn., with two companies of the Third Indiana cavalry, and that portion of his brigade not on picket-duty.
He came upon the rebel outposts of cavalry three quarters of a mile beyond Scrougesville.
The rebels fired a few rounds and fled, until they fell in with their other out-posts on the right and left of the road, when they made a stand at a churc el Dodge, quickly drove the guerrillas from their position, who retreated until they reached their artillery, which was planted on a hill.
They fired a few rounds and continued retreating.
The National troops chased them some two miles beyond La Vergne, when the rebels fled so fast, that they soon became invisible.
Several of the rebels were killed and wounded, a number of them being seen to fall.
They were carried off by their friends.
The Nationals had ten privates wounded; none killed.
