AUGUST 11, 1862.-Affair near Kinderhook, Tenn.

Reports of Brigadier General James S. Negley, U. S. Army.

COLUMBIA, TENN., August 11, 1862-3 p. m.

My movement against the guerrillas who have committed the great outrage has been completely successful. Megowan's command of Third Kentucky Cavalry and First Tennessee Cavalry, 108 men, engaged 175 of the enemy near Kinderhook at 5 a. m., continuing the contest fiercely for four hours. Seven were found killed, numbers wounded, 27 prisoners, among whom are a number of officers. Our loss was 3 killed. The woody and broken character of the country and the combatants scattered prevents an accurate estimate of the enemy's loss. I have received news from Major F. H. Kennedy, of my staff, commanding another portion of the expedition. He is driving the enemy in every direction.
