PITTSBURGH LANDING, TENN.
May 9 – 9 p. m.
To Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War
Gen. Paine’s Division made a reconnaissance to Farmington to-day and found about 4,500 of the enemy, and drove them in handsome style. An artillery reconnaissance went to Glendale at the same time and destroyed two trestle bridges and some track on the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. It has been a splendid day’s work for the left wing. The weather is clear and the roads are becoming good.
(Signed.)
THOMAS A. SCOTT,
Assistant Secretary of War
