That night I encamped at Eagleville, and next day reported to Granger at Franklin, arriving in the midst of much excitement prevailing on account of the loss of Coburn's brigade, which had been captured the day before a little distace south of that point, while marching to form a junction with a column that had been directed on Columbia from Murfreesboroa.
