Then crossed the Oostenaula river and covered the right flank of General McPherson's army. Colonel Minty in a report to the divison commander, dated John's Creek, Ga., May 16th, 1864, says: "At 5 A. M. yesterday, May 15th, I marched from Camp on Dry creek. At about 8 A. M. my advance struck the enemy's pickets near Farmer's Bridge, or Armuehee creek, and drove in the advance videttes, and a few of my scouts charged over the bridge, but the advance guard halted to allow the column to close up. They were not supported, and consequently were driven back with one man and four horses wounded.
