But his regiments were frequently inspected and required to keep constantly ready for a movement the day and hour of which he proposed to keep to himself.

I would as soon, he wrote to McClellan, expect to meet the Army of the Potomac marching up the road, as Johnston. His policy of quiet had to be laid aside when, early in December, Morgan and Helm burned the Bacon Creek bridge in his front. He advanced his lines to Munfordville and threw forward a small force beyond Green River. This resulted in a skirmish between a portion of the 32d Indiana, deployed as skirmishers, and Terry's Texas Cavalry-notable as one of the few fights of the war between infantry skirmishers in the open and cavalry. Nothing else of moment occurred on Buell's main line until the capture of Forts Henry and Donelson compelled Johnston to retire from
