aced in position to participate in an engagement then going on with Hanna's rebel brigade. Before we could join in the fight, however, the enemy was routed. Marched to camp at Bear Creek, on Jackson Road. 17th. Moved out at eight A. M., and proceeded with the column three miles, when I was met by Captain Beggs, Acting Assistant Adjutant-General of the brigade, who gave me orders to move on a road diverging to the right, to attack Lewis's brigade, then supposed to be encamped on the Towaliga River. The order was obeyed, and the result was, that I charged my command two and a half miles after a force of not more than twenty men. Arriving at the bridge, I found it burned, and the rebel camp evacuated. Had Lewis's brigade been at that bridge or in their former camp, with four pieces of artillery, as stated, and offered ordinary resistance, I have no hesitancy in saying there is not a regiment in the service could have driven it from its position, and a charge, such as I was ordered
