When Fitzpatrick appeared on the Brook

artiIIerymen holding the works there.
Dahlgren, and the 46O men with whom he
was TO have ridden 10 the south side of
the city for the purpose OF releasing the
prisoners on Belle Isle. was about eight
cen miles west of Richmond, at Dover
Mills. on the James River.
He had failed to cross the James, the
fords being flooded. and had turned down
its north bank toward Richmond. More
definite news of Dahlgren's progress than
of Kilpatrick's had been received in Rich
mond. In two h. urs after his appearance
at Dover Mills the local militia OF Rich
mond-a battalion of workmen from the
Tredegar Iron Works and another Of de-
partment clerks-were being assembled to
move out on the Plank road, along the
James. TO check his advance.
No surprise of Richmond, therefore,
was possible to Dahlgren. once his orig
inal plan had miscarried. Surprise had
been possible to Gen. Fitzpatrick. and had
been effected, for when his troops ap-
peared on the Brook road the defenders
of the works had not supposed them with
in twenty miles.
Col. Walter II. Stevens. an engineer
officer, commanding at the Brook road,
made immediate dispositions to do his
best to repel the enemy, who had de-
ployed his advance regiments dismounted

Kilpatrick's command had marched by

South Anna River three miles above Ash

it was still possible that the object Of the

organize the dash to Richmond. That
Gen. Fitzpatrick had planned well and had
ridden well is amply proved by the fact
