11th Cavalry


We crossed the river about 3 o'clock P. M., General Burbridge in the advance, the 1st brigade having the advance of the column. We moved immediately to Bristol, which place we reached at 3 o'clock A. M. of the 14th. We charged the town, capturing a large number of prisoners, five locomotives, two trains of cars (belonging to the Virginia and Tennessee railroad), and a large supply of quartermaster and commissary stores, and fixed artillery and rifle ammunition belonging to the Confederate government. The large and commodious railroad depot at this place was stored full of 'tax in kind,' collected by the rebel revenue agent, and awaiting shipment to Richmond, which, together with Its contents, was burned to the ground, which will be heavily felt by the ' Johnnies.'
