By General SCHOEPF:

Question. Had you not while at McMinnville sufficient corn blades and corn for your animals?

With the exception of one day we had rations; how full they were I do not know. One day the teams came back without anything. There was a skirmish on the road on which they started.

Question. Could you not have subsisted your animals on green corn at that time?

As to the quantity I cannot say, but I do not think the corn was sufficiently ripe to have fed the horses entirely on it. It might have done to have mixed it with the old corn or the old corn blades.

Question. Were you with the army on the march from Nashville to Louisville?

As far as Elizabethtown.

Question. Did you not during that march capture part of the enemy's train and at what place?

Yes, sir; at Horse Well or Horse Cave. I sent Colonel Wolford over there to attack the train. He brought back three wagons loaded with flour, and said he had cut the mules out of three more and disabled them.

Question. Why was not the enemy pressed more at that time?

He sent back for re-enforcements-about getting dark-which I sent. When the attack was first made they made a very spirited resistance; some 113 infantry prisoners were taken of the escort to the train and a good many killed. It became dark before the re-enforcements arrived. Colonel Wolford reported to me that he discontinued the attack because it was dark, partly, and partly because he was afraid he would be attacked by a superior force, which he heard was still farther in the rear of the train.

Question. Did you join General Buell's command at Louisville?

No, sir. I never went any farther than Elizabethtown, and rejoined his command at Springfield, Ky.

Question. Who commanded the whole cavalry?

Colonel Kennett.

Question. Where was he; on the march from Perryville with you?

He never went to Louisville; he was at Elizabethtown. He marched from Elizabethtown to Bardstown with part of his command and remained at Bardstown till after the Perryville fight.

Question. Did you not capture some officers of Bragg's staff at Prewitt's Knob?

One battalion belonging to my brigade did.

Question. Do you know their names and where they were sent to?

I have heard their names, but forget them. Major Wynkoop informed me they were paroled. I captured one who belonged to General Polk's or General Bragg's staff, I do not recollect which. He was paroled. I took him to General Crittenden, who paroled him.

Question. Can you state the time that elapsed between the capture and release of these officers?

I cannot. The officer I spoke of war released on the third day after his capture.

By General DANA:

Question. While at McMinnville how far on the road in the direction of Dunlap did you forage?

I cannot say. Foraging was done, as a general thing, off the main roads.
