Captain Blackford, with a picket party, set about this arduous undertaking; but owing to the fact that everything was saturated with water, ignition was impossible. Axes were looked up in the darkness with great difficulty, and the energetic and thorough-go

Stuart, in his official report, says: — At Dr. Shelton's we awaited the arrival of Gen. Jackson, sending a squadron in advance to seize and hold the bridge at the Totopotomoy. The enemy, anticipating us, had torn up the bridge, and held the opposite bank, and obstructed the road, without, however, making any determined stand. Capt. W. W.

The men had hardly got in with the Yankee, before Captain Blackford, an independent officer, and about half a dozen of his men who had been flushed by Jones, rode into our camp and informed us that the Yankees were right at hand. By some means we were under the impression that there were about sixty of th attacked us, capture d Bonham before he could mount his horse, recaptured Jones, and after chasing Craton and myself nearly a mile captured Craton, I alone being left to tell the tale. But the adventures of the main party must be told. Captain Blackford and our men drove the force, under the immediate command of Jones, in confusion before them to the main street of the town, and there, much to their astonishment, met about a hundred troops drawn up in reserve.
