October 7, 1862.—Skirmish near La Vergne, Tenn.
Report of Brig. Gen. James S. Negley, U. S. Army
Headquarters United States Forces
Nashville, October 9, 1862
Sir: Maj. Gen. S. R. Anderson, Brigadier-General Forrest, and Governor Harris have been rapidly concentrating a large rebel force at La Vergne, 25 miles east, with the avowed intention of assailing Nashville. . . . The enemy’s pickets and vedettes were in considerable force on the roads and skirmished with our advance 10 miles, enabling the main force, consisting of one regiment (the Thirty-second Alabama Infantry), with one steel rifled cannon and 3,000 cavalry, to assume a position, forming their lines in anticipation of our entire force advancing on the Murfreesborough road, which was part of our object. . .
. . . The Confederates held their ground for thirty minutes and then fled in the wildest disorder, leaving 175 prisoners in our hand, among whom were 2 lieutenants, 2 lieutenant-colonels, and a number of line officers, three pieces of artillery, ordnance and quartermaster stores, a large amount of provisions, camp equipage, personal effete, stand of regimental colors, and three railroad cars which we destroyed. . .
