Question. Which army can march the fastest, a large army or a small one?

A small one.

Question. Was our army larger or smaller than the enemy's after the battle of Perryville?

I think our army was the largest.

Question. Do you think the new troops which joined from Louisville in order to enable our army to pursue Bragg were able to march as fast as old troops or as fast as the enemy's troops? Were they any clog to our movements in rapid pursuit?

The new troops would have impeded our rapid march; they could not endure the fatigue of marching as well as the old soldiers.

By General TYLER:

Question. Was it a military probability that Bragg could pass his army and baggage over the mountain at Altamont, and was not the route by Perryville and Sparta in fact the only practicable military route up into the Tennessee Valley after he had passed forward into the Sequatchie Valley?

I think so.

Question. Crittenden was ordered to move on the enemy at 4 o'clock on the 9th of October, and moved at 6.30 o'clock, and Smith's corps engaged the enemy until 9 o'clock; during the whole if this time what kind of forces did General Smith engage? Did it or did it not indicate that the enemy was in force in his front?

He was under the impression that the enemy was enforce in his front until he had cleared these skirmishers form the woods. The skirmishing had been quite heavy at times. There were some few dismounted men, whether cavalry or not I do not know; the largest portion was cavalry.

Question. Did General Buell's army ever get hold of Bragg's army before he fought the battle of Perryville?

We had several sharp skirmishes after the battle of Perryville between portions of our troops and the enemy's. I think it more than likely that portions of the two armies were opposed to each other at the battle of Shiloh. There were skirmishes in Alabama, but they occurred with General McCook's and General Crittenden's troops, not as army against army.

Question. The battle of Perryville was fought on the 8th; you testify that on the 11th was the first time you knew that Bragg's army had crossed Dick's River; between what places were that enemy's forces during this interval and what area of country did they go over?

We knew by 12 o'clock on the 11th that they had crossed, but we received information from the citizens that they were crossing before. Their rear guard crossed on the morning of the 11th either at King's Mill or at the mouth of the river. A portion of them were pursued by Harker to the crossing at King's Mill.

Question. What was the distance from Perryville to where Bragg crossed Dick's River?

I think about 16 miles; I am not positive.

Question. Where was the bulk of General Buell's army when the enemy crossed Dick's River; how far to the rear?

I believe the whole army was in the vicinity of Harrodsburg by 12 o'clock of the 11th, 6 or 8 miles from the crossing at King's Mill.
