MURFREESBOROUGH, TENN.,
August 30, 1862.
GENERAL:
I arrived here this morning at 6 oclock. The forces under my command
had an engagement with General Forrest between 3 and 4 oclock p. m.
on the 27th instant at Round Mountain, 2 1/2 miles from Woodbury. He made
the attack upon our rear, and as he supposed upon our train. But instead of
my train his heavy force came in contact with the Twenty-third Kentucky, under
Colonel Mundy. The enemy was handsomely repulsed, and with a portion of Captain
Mendeuhalls battery, the right wing of the Thirty-Sixth Indiana, and
Colonel Mundys regiment we pursued and drove them over 2 miles, scattering
them in every direction.
Our loss is 4 of Twenty-third Kentucky and 1 of Lieutenant-Colonel Cochrans cavalry wounded. The loss of the enemy is much larger.
Your obedient servant,
WM. GROSE,
Colonel, Commanding Tenth Brigade.
Brig. Gen. JACOB AMMEN,
McMinnville, Tenn.
