Therefore, Johnston might direct against the latter only Chalmers' and S. D. Lee's mounted divisions, which are stationed, the one in Mississippi and the other in Northern Alabama. But immediately after the affair at Collierville, Hurlbut sent all his cavalry to meet Chalmers. Two days thereafter (October 13th) Chalmers' force was met at Byhalia, a small town nearly thirteen miles south of the railway, and thrown back beyond the Tallahatchie: it was able to rally only at Oxford. There is left to Johnston only S. D. Lee's cavalry division. The latter, as we have said, being massed near Decatur toward the middle of October, declined to cross the Tennessee on learning the result of Wheeler's expedition. The arrival of Sherman on Bear Creek calls S. D. Lee to that locality a few days afterward.
