down the Warrenton road.
The movement was connected with view OF
uniting their forces and making dash upon
mr. tickets, and if possible, penetrating to
the right wing of our army. They came down
rhp Warrenton road to about SIX miles north OF
Falnouth at which point the furthest outpost

Before making their attack they divided
their forces into three columns, and advanced

some fifteen or twenty cavalry brigade Of Gen.
Stoneman's Corps. These men were all cap
tured, the remainder of the cavalry fell back to
their SUPPORTS, about one mile, fighting as they
retreated with the advancing Confederates.
The cavalry supports and the retreating pick
cts numbering $50 men, from the Rhode Island
and Third PENNSYLVANIA Regiments, made de-
termined stand at this point, and emptied sew
eral saddles of the Coniederates. But this small
force being unable to withstand such large odd

killed. several horses arms, accoutrements and
clothing.
They then fell back towards the outer line of
infantry plckets, some two miles nearer Fal-
mouth, and running fight ensued the whole
distance Some of the cavalrymen became
separated from the main body, and, seeking
saietyin the woods and farm-h houses along the
road, were captured By tho advancing Confed
crates
The outer infantry pickets being alarmed by
the noise O, the fight of the retreating cavalry
men, were prepared for action, and being ad-

such Warm reception as to stop their progress,
and compel them to take the hack track

REPoRT OF n. c. READ.

1 reached this point on the frs
of September, in company with my
brother, DR.. A. N. Read, who had visited
the place repeatedly before, and established
depot Of stores here. The immediate de-
mand 70. supplies was then not large, as
much of the army was inaccessible, and
was so situated that vegetables and other
supplies could, in part, be drawn from the
country.
All the sick who could be reached from
the different stations along the road, were
literally supplied with stores, and vegeta-
bles were furnished to such regiments as
seemed most needy.
After our troops commenced crossing the
river at different points, it was for time
impossible to follow them with our sup
plies on account of the difficulty of procur-
ing transportation over the rugged noun
tain roads, and because no one could fore
see the points where they would ultimately

notified by telegraph or courier of any pro-
bable engagement with the enemy, the no.
tice to be accompanied by an order for the
requisite transportation.
As our troops passed further from the
river, and began to concentrate around
Chattanooga, it seemed best to have a per-
sonsl inspection Of the wants of the army.
and Of the routes by which stores could
reach the different divisions from Steven
son or Bridgeport. Accordingly, we pur-
chased saddle horses, and on the 8th start
ed for the front, passing through Bridge
port and over Raccoon or Sandy Noun.
tain by rocky, difficult mountain road.
reaching General Rosecrsns' headquarters
at Trenton, Georgia, on the afternoon of
the 9th. Here ne heard Of the evscustion
Of Chattanooga, and on the morning of the
10th reached that place in company with
part of the Generals staff. On our route
we struck the river road from Bridgeport
to Chattanooga, the latter part Of which
passes along the side of Lookout Noun
tain, over a rough, broken, rocky bed, cut
into the mountain side, over which loaded
wagons pass with great difficulty.
AT Chattanooga We learned that the en-.
emy were steadily falling back, the ru-
mors Of the probabilities Of an engagement
constantly changing and contradictory
Should one occur, It was evident there
would be great destitution, and having as
,ertained, by inspection of the routes bv |
which supplies must be brought in, that |
practically Chattanooga was farther from
bridgeport than the latter place is from
Louisville, we made immediate and per-
