Making a circuit eastward, he again struck the road at Lovejoy's, below Jonesboroa, where he was met by a large force. Through the opposing cavalry line he dashed, capturing and destroying a four-gun battery, excepting a single piece that he took with him, and securing and carrying away seventy prisoners.

The artillery, also, had been called away to oppose A. J. Smith's troops, then approaching from Memphis (see page 248), and then they were sent to West Point, in Georgia, for the support of General Hood, where they erected a strong work, commanding the railway and the Chattahoche
