tails of the affair have not yet Transported
1t is known that the enemy fell upon the
brigades composing the rear guard with great
fury, which at first threw them into confu-
sion. They were then rallied and held the
enemy in check until the balance could be
brought to their support, when general
fight ensued between our mounted and dis
mounted cavalry, and the enemy's cavalry,
infantry and artillery. Sheridan acted on
the defensive, and repulsed several Of the
most desperate assaults which could posi-
bly have been made. His light artillery was
brought into play and admirably served
fighting at short range with grape and can
mister. The musketry also served with terri
BILE effect at the end of the conflict. He
succeeded in beating them, though greatly
superior in numbers, and resumed his march
to James river without the loss Of gun or
wagon. His killed, wounded and missing
may reach FIVE hundred, among whom are
four Colonies.
