A strong reconnaissance was made the same

skirmish was engaged in without loss. When
ordered to return from Gen. Buford to Madison
G. d. The party got back ats o'clock on the
morning Of the 9th inst, and found everything
prepared for their retreat towards Sperryville,
as the rebels were approaching in every direc-
8 The party reached Hoodsville safely and there
camped. Subsequently they pushed on and ar
rived at Culpepper Monday night. The escape
of this brigade 10 considered almost mirscuIous
as they were surrounded on almost every sids-
Many gave it up as lost. Gen. Buford deserves
great praise for the very able manner in which
he extricated his command from such perilous
condition. ozoJa saiail ,saD',is.sgy' usa
