Captain Allison sent some of his men out to search the woods into which the bush-whacker was chased last evening to see what discovery they could make. They soon after returned with four muskets, about twenty thousand caps, and some powder, which they had found hid out in the woods.
Captain Horn's servant was shot, but only wounded, by a bush-whacker between Barboursville and Camp Buckner.
Calling in Allison's company off of picket, McNairy moved two miles from Barboursville on the road to Cumberland Ford.
As we were on the lookout for the enemy, we did not unsaddle our horses.
