tion of its officers opened such a fire of musketry that the enemy has-
tened his retreat.
Thus we crossed the mountain, and, having entered the Cove Creek
Valley, the enemy were charged by the Sixth Kansas Cavalry, of the
First Brigade. Upon his making a determined stand, and for the time
resisting successfully the cavalry, the Eleventh Kansas came up, as also
did a section of Rabb's battery, under Lieutenant [W. W.] Haines, who
had just placed his guns in a commanding position, and was ready to
fire, when the enemy sent a flag of truce. I was ordered by you to meet
it, which I did, and, in the interim which followed, night came on and
hostilities ceased, I returning with my brigade to bivouac for the night.
I took with me in the morning Captain [A. P.] Russell and Company
K, of the Second, and, passing over the ground occupied by the rebels,
found them gone, and, burning a disabled gun carriage left by them, I
returned to camp at this place, satisfied with the day's work.
Herewith I have the honor to transmit the reports of the various
commanders of my brigade. Of the officers and men I am constrained
to speak in the highest terms; all did their duty as soldiers.

Colonel, Commanding Third Brigade.

themselves competent for the emergency. Adjutant [J. H.] Gillpatrick
