In obedience to the order of Major-General Thomas, a brigade of General Cruft's troops, under the command of Colonel A. G. Malloy, reconnoitred in front of my position and felt the enemy's right.
The ground being still covered with smooth ice, rendered the movement tedious and hazardous ; but, under all the disadvantages, was skillfully executed, the enemy forced into his works, and the object of the reconnoissance accomplished.
The movement was made under the immediate direction of General Cruft.

Colonels Mitchell, Malloy, Salm and Thompson were in motion at 4:30 A. M., continuing the pursuit.
I reached the column of Colonel Mitchell soon after dawn of day. Colonel Thompson's command was thrown off to the left to Lawe's Landing.
About eight miles from Guntersville the head of Colonel Mitchell's column struck quite a force of the enemy — probably a hundred were in sight.
Two battalions were thrown into line, and, with the small cavalry force which was taken fromthe points ordered.
The ambulance, wagon and artillery harness, which General Lyon had with him, were captured, as well as those wounded at Scottsboro, viz.: one captain and three (3) soldiers.
Patrol parties were sent from Colonels Mitchell's, Malloy's and Thompson's commands, to scour the woods along the river, and to watch the various ferrying places in the vicinity.

Wednesday, January 11.
No rations arriving by river, Colonel Malloy's and Colonel Thompson's commands were ordered back to the railway at Larkinsville by different routes, with instructions to subsist on the country.
Colonel Mitchell remained at Claysville, patrolling the country in the vicinity.
Colonel Salm pushed his march towards mouth of Paint Rock Creek.
On arriving at Honey Comb Creek, it was found to be impassable.
The few mounted men of the Eleventh Indiana with the command, swam the creek and patrolled the country to Paint Rock during the day. It was impossible, however, to catch the small parties of rebels to be seen without a cavalry force.
The high waters, and impossibility of procuring rations, rendered it out of the question to push forward infantry further.
The pursuit was abandoned, therefore, towards night-fall-confirming the experience of all time, that troops of the line cannot run down cavalry.
