American Civil War
Twenty-Fifth Regiment Infantry
I engaged the enemy's force this morning at 3: 30 o'clock; early in the engagement he opened on our breastworks with a battery, and after firing a shot disabling two of my men, he sent a flag of truce with the following despatch:

To the Officer Commanding the Federal Forces at Stockade near Green River Bridge, Ky.:
Sir, —In the name of the Confederate States government I demand an immediate and unconditional surrender of the entire force under your command, together "with the stockade.
