About 1 o'clock P. M. my pickets were attacked and driven about one mile. At 3 P. M. about two regiments of rebel cavalry showed themselves, sharp skirmishing being kept up the entire afternoon. I took parts of the 4th Michigan and 7th Pennsylvania, the only regiments I had (the 4th Regulars being on detached service with General McPherson), to the front.
