I sent a flag of truce demanding the immediate and unconditional surrender of Morgan and his command. The flag was received by Colonel [Cicero] Coleman and other officers, who came down and asked a personal interview. They asked an hour for consultation amongst their officers.

The number of prisoners is between 1,000 and 1,500, including a large number of colonels, majors, and line officers.
