Rebels were pursued to this point. Colonel Johnson, FIFTY-second Kentucky, attacked their rear this morning at daylight; killed 15; captured 50 prisoners, 100 horses and mules. About 300 succeeded in crossing the river. Colonels True and Burge are pursuing some down north bank of Cumberland River. My forces are picking them up as they pursue. Colonel A. R. Johnson lost both eyes; he may recover from his wounds. Colonel Starling's regiment, scouting country in vicinity of Princeton, are capturing some prisoners.

I drove Adam Johnson's force from Webster County, on Cumberland River. Colonel Sam. Johnson fought them at that place; killed 15, captured 50 and quite a number of horses and mules. Colonels True and Johnson were in pursuit of rebels under Sypert; fought him at Roaring Spring. Tue is now on their track; last report says they were having a running fight. The expedition has been successful in driving the rebels from the State, besides capturing and killing quite a number of men, mules, horses, and arms.
