Major General to cut off their retreat, and
General Winder with the Virginia militia
were detached for that purpose. Hut the
enemy discovering, or suspecting the design,
decamped suddenly in the night and embark

them being taken prisoners, although close.

Much praise is due to the Virginia militia,
and indeed to the troops generally called

patriotic endurance Of fatigue, which has
been incessan. and extremely harrassing for
the last four days. They enjoy however the

During more than an hour an incessant
