Statement of John Dozier, a citizen living 1 mile north ‘of Guy’s Gap:

Eighth Confederate Cavalry left for Chapel Hill Tuesday morning; probably [J. H.] Wiggins’ battery also; three or four pieces of artillery at Guy’s Gap day before yesterday (three opened upon Colonel Patrick this evening); three or four regiments of infantry at Guy’s Gap; Stewart’s brigade of infantry at Webb’s house (called also Huston’s Spring), 7 miles north of Shelbyville; Eighth Texas left this morning for Manchester, to the right of little place called Liberty. Wharton’s headquarters on Tuesday were at Frazier’s house.

Crews’ command at Middleton yesterday. The enemy lost at least 10 killed and 20 wounded yesterday, at Middleton. They lost many horses. No news from Forrest’s force yet. Granger has given the result of Colonel Patrick’s reconnaissance to Guy’s Gap. He was opposed by both cavalry and a small detachment of infantry. Colonel Watkins sent the Sixth Kentucky to Versailles today, thinking Mitchell still there. The regiment has not yet been heard from, but no doubt it is all right. The Fifth Kentucky is at Murfreesborough, probably. Colonel Patrick had only 1 man wounded. We took only 1 prisoner.

D. S. STANLEY,
Major. General.
