Buntyn Station. The scouts Sunday
were driven back, or rather, hearing the noise of advancing troopers, they
withdrew, and this morning, 3:30 A. M. sixteen men were mounted and sent out
under charge of Sergeant Hauxhurst. They scoured the country for nine miles
south and returned without seeing any armed person, but reported that they had
been seen. They returned at about 11 A. M. Men were detailed to fell trees on
the right to protect our flank. Rec'd four papers from home.
