fed our horses and cooked supper for ourselves, when we again started, marching all night, arriving at the ford of Clinch river at 7 o'clock A. M. of the 24th, and succeeded in crossing at 4 o'clock. Here our rear -was attacked by the enemy, and pretty brisk skirmishing was kept up till dark, when we were again in the saddle and marched all night, making a short halt in the morning. We saw no more of the enemy except a few bushwhackers who did little damage, between Clinch river and Pound Gap, at which place we arrived on the 25th, after passing through which the command was halted, and the dismounted men, thirteen hundred and twelve in number, under command of Captain George and Lieutenant M. S. Perkins, of the llth Michigan cavalry, were sent by the way of Shelby Creek and Big Sandy to Louisa, to take a boat and go by the Ohio river to Cincinnati, and from thence via the Kentucky Central railroad to Lexington.
