Colonel Collier, with 500 Minute-men, of Steubenville, was ordered to Mingo. Also, as La Grange appeared to be a point selected by Morgan, Major Way was ordered to send his artillery there by rail, and march his cavalry, that had been ordered to unload, by the common road. He had hardly got under way when information was received that Morgan had turned north, crossing the Steubenville and Indiana Railroad near New Alexandria. Collier's men were speedily brought up to Steubenville and put out on the road leading to Cadiz. Way was ordered to return with his cavalry, and took a road that intercepted Morgan's route on the way from Alexandria to Wintersville. His artillery was ordered up and unloaded at Steubenville, as also Bemus' regiment of Pennsylvania militia. Way soon overtook Morgan's rear, skirmishing with Collier's advance.
