Second Regiment Cavalry
"We are in pursuit of Wheeler. Having just one moment's leisure I give the particulars of to-day's fight. After resting the most of last night, we broke camp at daylight this morning, our regiment leading the brigade. Our advance coming up with the Johnnies, about 8 o'clock A. M., a skirmish ensued which was kept up until we formed in line of battle (dismounted) just where we did almost every day last spring, a year ago, and of course we were at home.
" We had our line scarcely formed when they attacked us, as though we were made to run at the sight of them. The 1st East Tennessee Cavalry, and 4th Kentucky Mounted Infantry, having formed on our right, then the whole line being supported by detach-ments of the 6th Kentucky and 8th Iowa Cavalry.
