120 KY., SW. VA., TENN., VIISS., N. ALA., AND N. GA. [CHAP. XLII.
sent as explicit a statement of how affairs stood as it was possible to
do by signal.
Very respectfully,
WILLIAM C. RUSSELL,
Assistant Adjutant- General.
ROSSVILLE, SIGNAL STATION, September 18, 1863.
(Received 11 p. m.)
General GORDON GRANGER,
(Care of Major-General Rosecrans):
McCook has just reported his arrival at Reed's Bridge, but could
not find Minty. He captured 5 prisoners, who said they belonged to
Johnson's brigade. They represent Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas.
Firing has been heard by McCook in the direction of Whitaker.
The citizens report that Minty moved off to the north, which is not
believed. Mitchell's brigade was sent to re-enforce McCook, but
General Steedman thinks that he should direct Mitchell to re-enforce
Whitaker, but will await your orders, as Mitchell's brigade was sent
on General Rosecrans' oi'ders. A wagon train crossed Reed's Bridge
just in advance of McCook's vanguard. Reed's Bridge and Peeler's
Mills are certainly separate and distinct. Please give necessary in-
structions.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
WILLIAM C. RUSSELL,
Assistant Adjutant- General.
HDQRS. 1ST BRIGADE, 1ST DIVISION, RESERVE CORPS,

[Capt. S. B. MOE,]
Assistant Adjutant-General, First Division:
My command has advanced as far as the first creek out. The ford
is a little difficult. Found the enemy at this ford at 5.45 o'clock.
Drove him one-half mile. We are now resting part of the command
on one side of the creek, part on the side next Chattanooga. He has
more than one brigade and a battery that I know of. How far shall
I feel him in the morning ? Have had 1 killed and 4 wounded. We
have killed several of them. No forces with me but 'my brigade.
Do not know where McCook is.
W. C. WHITAKER,
Brigadier- General, Commanding.
[Indorsement.]
Capt. WILLIAM C. RUSSELL,
Assistant Adjutant-General:
CAPTAIN: I have just received this note from Whitaker, and the
dispatch to Garfield for you to forward.*
JAMES B. STEEDMAN,
Brigadier-General.
