46.-skirmish at, Rural hills, Tenn.
Louisville Journal account.
camp of Twenty-Third brigade, Fifth division, near Stone River, Tenn., November 22.
the following little affair is probably worth writing you about.
On last Monday two hundred men and officers of the Eighth Kentucky regiment, under Lieut. Col. May, were detached to guard a train of supplies to Col. Hawkins's (Fourteenth) brigade, then stationed some seventeen miles to the south-east of Nashville, at a point called Rural Hills, and fortunately reached there without casualty or molestation.
It had rained all day, and Col. Hawkins did us the favor to give us the use of an old shed and buildings, constructed for camp-meeting purposes, situated about one hundred and seventy-five yards in front of his right, for our quarters for the night, assuring us that his picket-lines were strong.
The night passed, and Tuesday morning dawned with favorable auspices for a rencounter with the rebels — wet and misty.

65.-battle at Hartsville, Tenn.
Cincinnati Gazette account.
Nashville, Tenn., December 14.
in a letter dated the eighth instant, I gave you such imperfect accounts of the affair at Hartsville, as had then come to hand, mentally resolving that I would write no more about it until I should be in possession of a su at was roasted.
The day following, at about meridian, they reached Murfreesboro, where they were paroled.
On Wednesday morning, they were sent under guard to Nashville.
Before their arrival at Murfreesboro, their overcoats were taken from them, and within three miles of our lines on the return their blankets were demanded and given up. The distance of thirty miles to Nashville was made that night.
The men of the One Hundred and Fourth think they have had a pretty hard time of it; but it is harder for them to rest under the suspicion that they have not done their duty, or have done it indifferently well.
They point to their decimated ranks and their

66.-fight near La Vergne, Tenn.
in camp near Nashville, Tennessee, Saturday, December 13, 1862.
I propose to give full particulars of the fight at La Vergne, as witnessed by a participant in the exciting scene.
The Thirty-fifth Indiana, Fifty-first Ohio, Eighth and Twenty-first Kentucky infantry, with two guns of Swallow's Seventh Indiana battery, went out beyond our picket-lines to escort fifty wagons on a foraging expedition.
They ventured as far as Stone's River, four mile he highest encomiums of praise for resisting the enemy at great odds — maintaining their position under a murderous fire of musketry, and returning volley for volley, working destruction in the enemy's lines.
Col. S. W. Price being called to Nashville on business, the command of the Twenty-first Kentucky devolved on Lieut.-Col. J. C. Evans, who stood firmly at his post in the trying hour, and our favorite, Adjutant Scott Dudley, unconscious of self, stood up boldly, cheering the boys by exam

67.-fight near Brentville, Tennessee.
Colonel Martin's report.
headquarters Thirty-Second brigade, camp near Nashville, Tennessee, December 9, 1862. Lieutenant T. W. Morrison, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General, Ninth Division.
I have the honor to report that in obedience to order from headquarters Ninth division, I ordered the Twenty-Fifth regiment Illinois volunteers, Lieut.-Col. McClelland, and the Eighth Kansas battalion, Capt. Block, to proceed on a reconnoisance to the front, in the division of Franklin, at two o'clock P. M. to-day.
The command left promptly at the hour, and I rode with it as far as the outside pickets, which had a short time before been fired into by a small body of the enemy.
Here I received an order from headquarters to send out another regiment, and a section of artillery, and in compliance I immediately ordered the Eighty-first Indiana volunteers, Major Woodbury, and two pieces of Capt. Carpenter's Eighth Wisconsin battery, to join the re
