Rippey, of Couch's division, who were sent forward by Keyes to the relief of Casey, on the right, where they fought gallantly and lost heavily. The 7th Massachusetts, Col.

Among the trophies of this success were 200 prisoners, some guns, camp equipage, &c. Having reformed his brigades, Sedgwick, leaving Gibbon at Fredericksburg, moved out on the Chancell
