Friday night last a squad of cavalry under the notorious rebel Col. John Morgan, who was some time since erroneously reported killed, attacked the Federal pickets fifteen miles south of Nashville, taking two prisoners and six government wagons.
Saturday a party of Ohio Federal cavalry went in pursuit, found and attacked the rebels, killing 4 of Morgan’s men, capturing 8, and recovering the wagons. They are now in hot pursuit of Morgan’s men, confident of capturing them.
