191.-the pursuit of Wheeler.
Chattanooga, October 18, 1863. Major-General Halleck, General-in-Chief:
The following despatch has been received from Brigadier-General George Crook, commanding the Second cavalry division, dated Rogersville, Alabama, October tenth, 1863:
I have the honor to inform you that I have had three fights with the enemy since I left the Sequatachie valley, whipping them very badly each time.
The last battle ended at Farmington Farm, where I fought Wheeler's entire command with only two brigades.
I cut his force in two, scattering a large portion of it, capturing four pieces of artillery, one thousand stand of arms, two hundred and forty prisoners, besides the wounded.
As I pushed on after the enemy immediately, I have not been able to ascertain the number of their killed and wounded-but it was very heavy.
They were scattered over a distance of fifteen miles from this, and their retreat was a perfect rout, their men deserting and straggling

Blue Springs, battle at.
While Burnside's forces in east Tennessee were concentrating at Knoxville (q. v.), they had many encounters with the Confederates.
One of these occurred at Blue Springs, not far from Bull's Gap.
There the Confederates had gathered in considerable force.
A brigade of National cavalry, supported by a small force of infantry, was then at Bull's Gap.
The cavalry pressed forward to Blue Springs, where the Confederates were commanded by Gen. S. Jones.
After a desultory fight for about twenty-four hours (Oct. 10 and 11, 1863) the Confederates broke and fled, leaving their dead on the field.
They were pursued and struck from time to time by General Shackleford and his cavalry, and driven out of the State.
The pursuers penetrated Virginia 10 miles beyond Bristol.
In the battle of Blue Springs the Nationals lost about 100 men in killed and wounded.
The Confederate loss was a little greater.
