General Fuller's brigade was held in reserve. I regret being unable, on account of the steady moving of troops, to obtain particulars of their elt temporary works to guard against surprise in the night, and waited. It was ten o'clock of Monday when General Sweeney's division started towards Calhoun. General Veatch's division was considerably in the rear. At the distance of a mile or two a strong defensive position was found evacuated, showing that retreat was in progrese, General McPherson, who was also present, did not desire to engage these troops until the remainder or a portion of the rest of his command should come up.

Captain Arnheim's company I was thrown out on the left of the road, and directed to charge a line of the enemy formed on the bank of the creek, four hundred yards from the head of my column. This company, having to throw down a fence under a severe fire, had one officer, Lt. John J. Veatch, and several men, wounded, losing also about fifteen horses.

The column moving forward, the enemy quickly retired, and the Third Iowa cavalry was sent in pursuit, following the enemy to Plantersville, five miles. Captain John Brown, L Company, charged his men over a deep stream, capturing more of the enemy
