Battle report details Confederate victory outside Richmond, Kentucky. "The remnant of the Federal force in Kentucky, is making its way, utterly demoralized & scattered to the Ohio." Discusses future action. Hopes to soon take Cincinnati, says "all that is needed to accomplish the objects of the campaign, is to have our left in communication with your right. If I am supported, & can be supplied with arms, 25,000 Kentucky troops in a few days would be added to my command."
