On the 22d, Captain Van Antwerp, with a detachment of the regiment composed of Lieutenant Hudson and 100 men, had been sent out to reconnoitre on the Dalton road near Big Springs, and on reporting to Colonel Long, commanding cavalry brigade, then moving on the enemy in line of battle, was ordered to form on his left, covering the road, after marching about a mile in the advance, driving the enemy and losing four men wounded, four horses killed with several wounded.
