Alluding to the astir of the 21st he says: “We had a very pretty little light on .Monday which will be m tgnified into a battle. I allowed it to gratify the men and try their pluck in an open field, andern more than pleas ed with their performance.” After the fight tbe infantry encamped at In ,|;an Ford and Bloomfield. Tbe cavalry wire moved to anew field of labor, under General ! Thompson’s personal command. Os course any : -txtemunt made as to their designs would be ln judicious. and, , , T. considers hi* little campaign one of complete success, al bough in consequence of unavoidable accidents, all was not accomplished that was originally intended. Tbe Hiver Bridge wbh burned, thus cutting off communication by rail between two important positions held by the enemy, Cape Girardcan and Filet Knob. The cavalry performed a march of 275 miles within tbe ten days, and the infantry over ISO—dis tances unprecedented in the history of the move ments of armies. This energy hows what can be accomplished by men fighting for privileges they are determined to secure. The enemy had become alarmed at the rapid m vementf of Gen. T’s command, and brought out 7,000 men to overwhelm him. Referring to j the fight he says: “We met. them with 1200 men, j and after fighting them fer two hours retired in, good order. We ambushed them at every turn ~f the road, cornfield and thicket, and are here at Greenville, M 0.,) with more men than we started with, and tbe whole force is in one thou* sand per cent, better spirits than when tbe campaign commenced."— M< mphit f Appeal of j iht 2WA.
