HEADQUARTERS U. S FORCES,
Lebanon, Ky., February 16, 1865.CAPTAIN: I have the honor to forward the following statement, with the accompanying document,* for your consideration:
On the 8th of this month the guerrillas passed around this place, killing seven men of my regiment at or near New Market, burning several wagons and killing the mules. Having no mounted men here I pressed some horses in order to send after guerrillas and save the other part of the train, which was some distance ahead of that part they captured. My men caught up with them some place near New Market, fought them across the country toward Bradfordsville road, and then to Bradfordsville, where guerrillas made a stand. My men dismounted; guerrillas charged, and ind excitement some of Captain Horton's men let their horses get away, which ran to the guerrillas. Captain Horton then drew off his men without consulting Captain Searcy, who had but twelve men with him. Thus the chase was given up. Captain Bridgeport water captured E. G. Chandler's hourse, which he got back, but los his saddle ad bridge.
Your servant,
T. MAHONEY,
Major Thirtieth Kentucky.
Captain BUTLER,
Assistant Adjutant-General, First Division.
