Second Regiment Cavalry
At night, when we were ordered to go into camp, we found that the ground we wished to camp on was occupied by the enemy. It was growing dark, but the 2d Michigan thought a good camping ground was worth fighting for; they dismounted and drove the rebels out, and took possession of their fires already lighted. The next day the whole cavalry force followed the rebels through Pulaski, capturing prisoners, wagons, ammunition, guns, etc. The 2d Brigade left the Cavalry' command December 28th, 40 miles above here. We arrived here last night, and found gunboats and transports with rations.
