Fourth Cavalry
I sent a regiment (4th Michigan), to the right, and requested General Smith?who was now crossing his force? to send a regiment to the left for the purpose of getting in the enemy's rear. Perceiving our object they rapidly mounted and fell back. We pursued them about five miles in the direction of the Lewisburg pike, then marched for the Columbia pike, General Smith's force following. When a mile and a half from Columbia I halted, it being now quite dark, and sent the 3d Ohio, under Colonel Long, to feel for the enemy's pickets towards Columbia.
