Capt. Welch came up with 15 men and Capt. Greenough with 50
men, increasing our force to 180. At daylight moved on south. Passed through
Cane Hill and followed the Division train, which we supposed the rebs were after.
Officers feared that they had run into the rebel camp at Dutch Mills. Found
them on 3 or 4 miles. Went on with them 3 or 4 miles, then went on alone till
within a mile of the mills. Then Major and Capt. Greenough went on alone and
discovered two regiments in direction of Cane Hill moving north at a trot. We
turned back by untraveled roads and reached camp at 9 P. M.
