He had a slight skirmish with a small force of the enemy, driving him from the mountain and killing a Captain Hipsie, a noted guerrilla chief in these parts, and mortally wounded one of his men. Captain George met with no loss. The process of crossing the river was tedious, but finally effected about 12 o'clock on the night of the 1st of December, the whole of the force having been crossed without loss. The command moved on immediately after crossing, and arrived at Bean Station on the 2d of December at 2 o'clock P. M., where we remained foraging the country and occasionally scouting and skirmishing with the enemy until the 12th, when, having been furnished with six days' rations, and joined by Generals Stoneman and Gillam with a force of about 1,200 men, we again resumed the march.
