appear to be striking across to the left of him, aiming, I suppose, at the road mentioned in my previous dispatch. He does not say whether infantry or cavalry; I presume the latter.

Hadn't the brigade ordered over river better be ordered to join me at once?

Major CAMPBELL:

MAJOR: Colonel Capton reports, 11.20 a. m., his force driven back from south side of Duck River by heavy force of the enemy; he is now fighting them across river. I move everything in that direction. Order Stewart's brigade, sent below the town, to join me by the road toward Rally Hill; he will, however, have to keep well to the north, as the force crossing above Huey's also seems heavy, from all I can learn. Maybe Stewart had better go pretty well up to Spring Hill before striking across.
