Top of Sweet Springs Mountain,

To Gen. S. Cooper, A. and I. G.:

The enemy, finding this point guarded, turned off from Scott's and went towards Covington. They may attempt to cross from Rich Patch to Danlap's Creek. Gen. Echols E blockading the road.
I am informed from three different sources that they have burned a number of their wagons, killed their broken-down horses, lost much of their ammunition, and are travelling in haste.
I have seen this morning a large fire in the direction of Jackson river, or bridge.
