The scouts visited Snickersville, Middleburgh,aris, and other places in the valley, and brought back tidings that, learning of our advance, Gen. Stuart had accelerated his movements and passed out of the valley by the way of Snickersville, a pord abused good Union people who were mean enough to give information as to the whereabouts of General Stuart, adding the pious wish that they might all be hung.

M., where I was informed that the enemy (Stuart's cavalry) four hundred strong, with about two hundred head of cattle, crossed the mountain near Greenland at two o'clock that afternoon. We then immediately aascertain whether the enemy had passed the crossing, and he ascertained from a reliable source that the enemy, consisting of from three hundred to five hundred of Stuart's cavalry, Lee's brigade, were encamped within two miles back of the other road. At daylight we advanced upon the enemy, and when within seven hundred yards, I od and sixty head of cattle. I have been informed by one of the prisoners that the enemy's force consisted of two picked men from each company of Lee's brigade, Stuart's cavalry. The success of the expedition is owing to the rapidity of our movements, having advanced some thirty-five miles during the night, and to the cheerfu

rate shooting the rebels could not stand, and they accordingly commenced falling back; we, at the same time, following up and peppering them in fine style. Thus we continued to drive them from hill to valley for several hours, their artillerists being compelled to abandon every new position as often as it was chosen. Several prisoners were taken, among the number two who rode directly into one of our own regiments, mistaking it for Col. Owen's Third Virginia cavalry. I conversed with prisoners from the Third, Fourth and Fifth Virginia cavalry, proving that we had been fighting General Stuart's force. From them as well as refugees, I learned that he had been on the ground all day; also that the bulk of the rebel army is on this aide of the Blue Ridge, retreating toward Gordonsville. A detachment of the Eighth New-York cavalry captured some eight horses, with equipments, and quite an amount of officers' clothing. An ambulance driver of the same regiment was accidentally killed.

As soon as the advance of the enemy was discovered through the fog, Gen. Stuart, with his accustomed promptness, moved up a section of his horse-artillery, which opened with effect upon his flank, and dmy's flank. Across, or to the east of, the railroad, on the extreme confederate right, General J. E. B. Stuart, with his cavalry and horse-artillery, covered the flank of the confederate line, his r of Gen. Lee. On the extreme right of the confederates, in front of the position occupied by Gen. Stuart's cavalry, a few batteries of Stuart's horse-artillery were thrown forward to flank the Federals, between Walker's artillery and the river.

e twenty-sixth December, 1862, the brigade moved with the division on the Nashville pike to La Vergne. At this place a show of resistance was made by one or two rebel batteries commanding the road, and the Sixth Kentucky and Ninth Indiana being sent around to the right, encountered a rebel force in a cedar wood; but after a brisk skirmish they cleared the wood, with a loss of one man killed and three wounded. The next day Col. Hazen was ordered to march rapidly down the Jefferson pike to Stuart's creek (five miles) and save the bridge. The enemy were met about three miles from the bridge, but were at once vigorously charged by a squadron of the Fourth Michigan cavalry, in charge of Capt. McCleery, of Col. Hazen's staff, and put to flight. The infantry and artillery were urged forward at their utmost speed, and so impetuous was the charge and pursuit that the astonished rebels were driven pell-mell across the bridge, losing one officer and ten men prisoners and one officer and s
