<html>of the bridge. Col. Kelly led his Regt (8th La.)
through the stream under a warm fire of Arty
& musketry. The pursuit was carried on gallantry
by the 2nd & 6th Cavy under Lt Col Watts & Lt Col
Flournoy, resulting in the capture of one piece of
Arty & the Col & nearly the whole of the Fed [Md?]
Regt that garrisoned the place. [Another piece
of Arty was brought up next morning from within
4 miles of Winchester by privates Fontaine & [Moon?]
Co I, 6th Va. Cavy, who although within sight of
the enemy's pickets had two horses taken from a
plough & with them dragged the gun a fine Parrott
piece, to Front Royal. They deserve great credit
for their coolness & daring.] On the 24th Gen Steuart
with the two Regts of Cavy were sent to New Town by
your orders, where he captured a number of waggon
& ambulances, & several hundred prisoners. He was re-
inforced in the afternoon by the [Md?] Regt & Arty.
I came in sight of the town a little after four a.m.
but unable to discover the positions of the enemy,
hidden by the mist & fences, I sent forward the 21st N.C.
under Col Kirkland, supported by the 21st Ga. Col
Mercer. Those Regt went forward in the most gallant
style & were soon engaged with the enemy, while the
Courtney Arty opened with vigor & effect under 1st
Lt Latimer. The 1st Md Regt Col Bradley T. Johnson
was detached to the left (South.)
