of twenty men, under the command of Lieutenant Fergus, is sent out on a scout
to Eastport, Tennessee river, and another squad, under the command of a

Hide. e make the point by noon; find Company F, Captain Knowlton, in camp here.
Returning, we bring through a prisoner captured by Company F, who reports
