On the 5th of October the Second DIVISION was ordered to co-operate with the Fourth corps moving on Pine Hill. Beyond Hardshell Church I found the enemy held the Acworth and Lost Mountain road, with infantry and cavalry on the Marietta road. The THIRD Cavalry DIVISION was sent to Kolb's farm to co-operate with the Army of the Tennessee. October 7, the Second DIVISION was ordered to New Hope Church to scout on the Burnt Hickory and Dallas roads.

October 9, the Second DIVISION was ordered to New Hope Church, the THIRD DIVISION was ordered to Stilesborough, and the THIRD DIVISION to Van Wert; the latter was attacked, as reported, by Ferguson's and Ross' brigades of rebel cavalry and repulsed them, the enemy leaving his killed and wounded, with a few prisoners, in our hands. This DIVISION harassed the enemy's rear and arrived at Rome on the 13th, as ordered, when the DIVISION was ordered to the vicinity of Dallas for the protection of the railroad. October 11, the Second DIVISION was ordered to Rome, Ga. October 12, the Second DIVISION crossed the Etowah and Oostenaula to make a reconnaissance in the direction of Summerville. Before crossing the latter stream, the pickets of the garrison had been driven in on all the roads by, as was supposed, a large force of the enemy on the old Alabama road in the direction of the Coosa.
