Kilpatrick (search for this): article 1
ht on Saturday, General Wheeler fell furiously upon the enemy's rear. The Yankee horsemen who covered the rear were driven back upon their infantry support, and our troops, after considerable fighting, retired. In our fight of Sunday with Kilpatrick's cavalry, assisted by the Fourteenth corps, we repulsed the enemy in every attempt to dislodge us by fire and counter charges, but finally, being flanked, were compelled to retire, which was done in most excellent order. Our loss was between seventy and eighty men. That of the Federals is reported officially as "very heavy. " One of the Yankee officers was captured in a hand-to-hand encounter, and Kilpatrick himself was wounded. On our side, Colonel Gainse, acting brigadier, was severely wounded. The Augusta Constitutionalist says that on Monday last a fight took place at Walker's bridge, on Briar creek, twenty-two miles from Augusta, in which the Federals were worsted. A batch of one hundred and twenty-two Yankee prisoners

From some cause, either lack of ammunition or inability to get their cannon in position, the Yankees made very little use of artillery, and this added confidence to our troops. It was reported that the enemy had effected a landing on the Coosawatchie below Pocataligo, but they had not been able to reach the railroad.

of the Dutch Gap canal, as the wind at the time was setting fair from that point. Winter seems to have set in in earnest; but still there is no grand attack from Grant. He let the golden days of autumn slip by unimproved, and the winter cometh, when no man can fight. From Petersburg. We had not even a rumor from Petersbuence that nothing of importance had occurred, or was going on there. The movement against Weldon. We mentioned on yesterday that a column, thrown out from Grant's army, and supplied and equipped for a protracted expedition, had struck the Weldon railroad at Jarratt's, thirty miles south of Petersburg, and when last heard men have a deserved wide-spread reputation as beef hunters; an opportunity now offers for adding to their fame in this particular. In sending out this column, Grant purposed more than one of those flying expeditions known as raids. He designed establishing a new base at a point which should deprive us permanently of the use o

g. We had not even a rumor from Petersburg on yesterday, which is conclusive evidence that nothing of importance had occurred, or was going on there. The movement against Weldon. We mentioned on yesterday that a column, thrown out from Grant's army, and supplied and equipped for a protracted expedition, had struck the Weldon railroad at Jarratt's, thirty miles south of Petersburg, and when last heard from were marching in the direction of Weldon. There was a flying rumor that Hampton had encountered and had a fight with this column, but we could trace the story to no trustworthy source. The probability of this thing was, doubtless, the father of the report. We know nothing of the plans of our general in relation to this movement of the enemy, but confess we shall be disappointed if the Yankee column is permitted to move without interruption or obstruction to its destination. It set out with beef on the hoof and other supplies suited to the uses of a moveable army.

there, and fortifying himself, he will hope to supply his troops by the Roanoke river, or by rebuilding the Suffolk railroad. It remains to be seen how much of his excellent plan will be successfully accomplished. The raid on Stony creek. It will be recollected that, on the occasion of the recent raid on Stony creek, the Yankees were attacked and driven eight miles by our cavalry. The only portion of our forces engaged was the Tenth Virginia cavalry, under command of Lieutenant-Colonel R. A. Caskie, of this city. Our loss on the occasion was only twelve men wounded. Much credit is due to the gallant Tenth. The enemy's force consisted of two full brigades. From Georgia.
