wooden bridge spanned the river. In
order to get possession of this bridge
and thus cut off the retreat of the
Confederates who were opposing his
advance, the Federal commander sent
a force of mounted men who made a
detour far to the right, entering the
city from the east and making a sud-
den and determined dash for the
bridge, which the Confederates had
already prepared for the torch. Gen.
Wade Hampton, with his escort and
some staff officers, was still in the
city, as was also a commissary detail
of fifteen Kentuckians from Colonel
Breckinridge's Brigade. With these,
the latter volunteering their services,
General Hampton. in a counter
charge, met the oncoming column,
and in a moment the gray and the
| Blue were mixed in deadly strife. But
%revolvers, sabers, dubbed rifles, and
Southern valor won, and the Yankees
were whipped and driven from the
city with heavy loss and the Confed-
J crate skfrmishers we're saved.
