started by train OF cars in the morning, fol-
lowed by two additional regiments OF infantry
and two companies Of cavalry. I found that our
pickets had engaged the enemY's pickets, four
miles from Bridgeport and after short engage
ment-in which we lost one man killed-drove
them across a stream whose railway bridge I rad
burned, with four regiments Of infantry, two
pieces OF artillery dragged by hand, and two COM
panies Of cavalry.
At 3 p. IN. we advanced to the burnt bridge and
opened our fire upon the eneIny's pickets on the
other side, thus producing the impression that
our advance would be by the railway. This ac-
complished, the entire force was thrown across
the country about a mile, and put on the road
leading from Stevenson TO Bridgeport The whole
column now advanced at a very rapid pace. Our
cavalry scouts attacked those Of the enemy and
forced them from the Bridgeport road We thus
succeeded in making complete surprise, dslib-
erately forming our line of battle on the crest Of
wooded hill, within 500 yards Of works con-
structed to defend the bridge
AT our g iss tre the guard broke and ran. They
attempted to blow up the main bridge. but failed.

but the volunteers at my call, rushed forward in
the face Of their fire, and saved IL. The bridge
from the island 10 the main shore we could not
save. 1t 10 Of small moment, its length being
only about $50 fee:.
The prisoners taken report that FIVE regiments
