The troops, fatigued by long marches, and for the last two days reduced to insufficienis number, and that the ten brigades he was able to put in motion, leaving Vaughn at Big Black River Bridge, should be reckoned at twenty-five thousand men. On the 14th he received Johnston's first despatch near Bovina, where he had his Headquarters. The instructions it contained upset all his plans; nevertheless, he wrote to histance.

But the direction taken by the Federals does not allow them to conceal their design any longer: it must therefore be executed promptly. On the 14th, at two o'clock in the morning, they are all in the saddle, and soon reach Sweet Springs. The column, following the Union road to Fincastle, crosses successively
