Somerset, Ky., January 8, 1862.

Capt. GEORGE E. FLYNT, Assistant Adjutant-General, First Division, Columbia, Ky. :

CAPTAIN: To-day?s work consists in making a reconnaissance with a large force (sent out last night) in front of the enemy’s position at Fishing Creek, and the capture of two of his cavalry, with the supposed wounding ‘of several others. My object was to cut off and secure his foraging train, but the bad roads and high water in the creeks prevented my plans being fully carried out.

Heavy firing has been heard during the day in the direction of Mill Springs, but it is supposed to be in honor of the day, as there can be none of our forces in that vicinity.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,

Assistant Adjutant- General.
