Doc. 88.-Morgan's raid into Kentucky. Report of Colonel E. H. Hobson, headquarters, Munfordville, January 4, 1863. George K. Speed, A. A.A. G., Tenth Division: Captain : I have the honor to submit a report of the disposition of the troops under my command at this point during the recent raid of Morgan on the line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. On the seventeenth of December, 1862, I received information of a rebel force being in the State. I immediately put my scoutive hundred, commanded by Major-Gen. Morgan, the regiments by Duke, Gano, Cluke, Chenault, Bennett, Stoner, and Breckinridge, with White's battery of eight guns, the largest a twelve-pounder. White's name is supposed to be Robinson, formerly of Kentucky. At five o'clock A. M., December twenty-fifth, I again ordered the Twelfth Kentucky cavalry, Col. Shanks, to Cave City and beyond to Bear Wallow, with the first and second battalions; the third, under Major Stout, being ordered on the Greensb

moving in the direction of Hammondsville. I immediately ordered Captain Dickey, of the Second Michigan, to proceed to Bacon Creek stockade, reporting to my headquarters by courier at nine and ten A. M., and oftener if necessary, and also ordered the Twelfth Kentucky cavalry, Colonel Shanks, toward Hammondsville, to report often by courier. Soon after arriving at Bacon Creek and arranging his pickets, Capt. Dickey was attacked by the advance of Morgan, and flanked by a large force. Captain De wary foe would not engage them. A few shots were fired by the Twelfth Kentucky cavalry, when the enemy fell back to Bacon Creek. During this skirmish our loss was twenty-one men and two officers taken prisoner. Loss of the enemy not known. Durg over ammunition by way of the bridge on a hand-car. I kept the Twelfth Kentucky cavalry in line of battle between Bacon Creek and Munfordville until after dark on the twenty-sixth, and, believing that if an attack was made in the morning, the d

ted for the enemy to make some move which I could detect his design. On the twenty-fourth I received a despatch from General Reynolds, at Gallatin, stating that a large rebel force had crossed the Cumberland at Gainsville, and were making for Glasgow. I received despatches at the same time, from General Boyle and General Gilbert, confirming what I had formerly heard. On the evening of the twenty-fourth of December, companies C, L, M, and H, Second Michigan cavalry, under orders from Gallatin to Munfordville, captured a man belonging to Morgan's command, who reported a large force in Glasgow. Company C, Lieut. Darrow, met the advance of the enemy in the town and a skirmish ensued, in which our loss was one killed, one wounded, and sixteen prisoners. The loss of the enemy was one major, one captain, one lieutenant, and several privates killed and wounded, and seven prisoners. It being nearly dark, and the enemy clothed in our uniform, it was with difficulty that friend could be

yourself and your command. Capt. McGinnis, my A. A.G., has full authority to arrange the terms of the surrender. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant, Jno. H. Morgan, General Commanding. To this demand Col. Smith sent the following answer, which is manly at any rate: Elizabethtown, Ky., December 27. General John H. Morgan, Commanding Confederate Forces: sir: Yours of this date is received, and contents noted. In reply, I would say that it is the duty of United States soldiers to fight, and not surrender. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your obedient servant, H. S. Smith, Commanding United States Forces. Immediately after Smith's refusal to surrender, the fight commenced. This was about half-past 1 o'clock P. M. The fighting continued until four o'clock, the Federals occupying the houses and giving shot for shot, until a circumstance occurred which can scarcely be accounted for. A portion of the troops stationed in one of the house

J. P. Gray, on the Burksville road, south of (Green River, with instructions to each to give battle, and if overpowered by largely superior forces, to skirmish the way back by to Woodsonville, sending couriers often to my headquarters. When near Green's Chapel, six miles from Munfordville, Col. Gray attacked the advance-guard of Morgan, and about the same time Col. Shanks attacked the rear-guard at Bear Wallow, twelve miles from this point. The advance-guard fell back on the main body, with a loss of nine killed, twenty-two wounded, and five prisoners; our loss being one killed, two prisoners, and several horses killed.

M., the twenty-fifth, scouts brought the information that one hundred of the enemy were crossing the river at Burnt Bridge Ford. This was confirmed during the night by reports that the whole force was crossing and moving in the direction of Hammondsville. I immediately ordered Captain Dickey, of the Second Michigan, to proceed to Bacon Creek stockade, reporting to my headquarters by courier at nine and ten A.

I sent despatches frequently, but could get no answer from the operator in Louisville to the call of the operator at this point, during the afternoon of the twenty-fifth, until too late to effect any thing by trains from Louisville. I also telegLouisville. I also telegraphed that it was Morgan's design to attack the tunnel and the works beyond. At nine o'clock P.
