' Wo marched all night and the next day until dark, in the heaviest rain I ever had aeen, and camped in Sequatchie Valley. H«re the 00m- mand waa divided. Wheeler, with two brigades, ono under Gen. Martin, and one under CoL Avery, went down the valley after a large wagon train, while Gen. Wharton with the remaindier of the force proceeded directly across the Cumberland Mountain to attack McMinnville. Gen. Wheeler started at 8 A. M., and met the train near Dun lap at the foot of the mountain, and after some sharp fighting captured about .500 prisoners and over 500 wagons heavily loaded with quarter master, couimitiaury, ordnance and sutler’s stores. Th« train was captured ab ut 11 A. M. The wagOEfl were all bifrued, about l,5uO mules killed, anil the re.st of the mulea taken back over the mountain. The stores destroyed were most valuable. The amount of clothing and blankets was enor mous, while sixty wagons of ordnance stores were destroyed. About 4 P.M. the enemy were re ported advancing up the valley. This found our fjommand in bad copditiou I’or fighting. Over half of both brigades had been sent back by Gen. W’^heeler with led mules, and nearly a third of tho rest were on picket in the rear and on the flanks. Col. Russel, of Martin’s command, was captured, at the wagons. Col. Avery, with 100 of hie bri gade, remained in the rear, while Gen. Wheeler retired with tho rest of the force to orosa the mountain. Theenemy pressed vigorously. They charged fifteen times in the oourie of a mile, kill ing, wounding and capturing about one halt of the rear guard. Their force was so overwhelming e*ch rcpuUe was but temporary. About 0 P. M. ouj entire torce was up tho mountain, marched until 3 in the morning, resumed the march at daylight, and caniped at the opposite foot of the mountain about mid-day. Gen. Wharton, v-ith hie force, crosieJ the mouutain, and his advance guard, under Lieut. Col. Cky, attacked the ensmy’s pickets at Mo- Mlnavilio about 11 A.
