miles from Suffolk, with two companies
of cavalry, and routed them, inficting
considerable loss. Gen. Pryor remained
in line Of battle until Sunday morning,
but the enemy would not leave his
Stronghold. Learning that 10000 were
at Carrsyillc, Gen. Pryor passed across
to intercept them. They fed on our APP
proaoh, escaping through Gates county.

far the most complete won by our arms
in the Southwest, 1t does not regard the
falling back by Bragg as detracting in

will never recapture the prisoners, arms,
and artillery carried off by Bragg, nor
rebuild the wagons burned by Morgan
and Wheeler.

sition by President Davis, has by procla-
