4th Cavalry
On the 25th the regiment detached, burned a railroad bridge at Etowab, destroying a large quantity of meal, and captured a lieutenant colonel. Rejoining the brigade the regiment marched to Cleveland, and on the 26th, with detachments from different regiments on scouting duty, captured 250 prisoners, 80 wagons, 400 mules, 275 hogs, and tore up considerable railroad track. On the night of the 27th the pickets were attacked but held their position until daylight, when the enemy advanced with a heavy force of infantry and artillery, recapturing most of the mules and hogs.
