Just after midnight Eve encamped at

rejoin us a. Versailles On the Lawrence

The command had now marched more
than 300 miles in eight days, but despite

so far to prevent the Federals from at
lacking us.
Leaving Lawrenceburg the next morn-
ing at dawn, the column moved in the di-
rectiOn of Versailles, but we were COM
PEELED to halt at ShryrOck's ferry, seven
miles from Versailles, to raise and repair
the sunken ferry boat, which was neces-
Sary In order to get the hOWltZerS across tne
Kentucky River. This delay prevented us
from reaching Versailles before dark. 1t
was now deemed good policy to march
more slowly, obtain accurate information.
and increase the confusion already pre-
vailing by threatening all points of i'm
portance. This was not n hazardous policy
under the circumstances. for although the
forces surrounding the point where we
now were greatly Outnumbered us, yet by
getting between them and preventing their
concentration, and by easily creating the
impression that our force was some thou
sands strong, many of the people extrava-
gantly estimating it at 1000 or 5000, we
had some advantages of the situation.
The command remained at Versailles
during the night. Scouts were sent in ev-
cry direction, and upon their return next
day they reported that general cOnsterna-
ton prevailed as well as uncertainty re-
garding our movements. The home-guards
and small detachments of troops were run
ming, some to Frankfort, others to Lexing-
ton.
Leaving Versailles about 10 o'clock
n. M, the column moved toward George
town. Before leaving Versailles the scout
ing parties that had been sent to Frank
fort were relieved of all fear of immediate
attack, and Col. Morgan became appre-
hensive that the troops at that place might
be marched out after him. or that COM
municatiOn might be opened with Lexing
ton, which might lead to simultaneous
attack upon him by the forces Of the two
points"
