The morning of 3rd October had two opposing cavalry forces at Talbot's Ferry. A large Federal body was present at Mooney's Shack, with a Confederate brigade near the A. Johnson farm on the Military Road. In the morning, the Federals advanced against the enemy brigade, which was identified as Randall's Brigade. Randall did not engage and withdrew towards Yellville, leaving the area around Talbot's Ferry, including the west bank, in control of Dupont's cavalry division.
The Corps Commanders are preparing orders for the night of 3rd - 4th October.
