Mail came in afternoon. Merely a paper and note through Lu. The
Proclamation also by Ampt. Shows a mean spirit, considerable wit. In the evening
orders came to be saddled. Stood all night. Two detachments went out. One under
Seward and another under a Ky. officer. Co. B in quite an engagement at Columbia.
Lt. Bills slightly wounded, one man wounded in hip, another missing and one
killed. Morgan across at Burksville with 4000, advancing seemingly towards
Lebanon. Expecting orders. (This was the start of Gen. John Morgan's ill-fated
raid through Ky., Ind. and Ohio.)
