oah Valley. I therefore sent the Second corps and Gregg's division of cavalry, of the Army of the Potomac, and a force of General Butler's army, on the night of the thirteenth of August, to threaten Richmond from the north side of the James, to prevent him from sending troops away, and, if possible, to draw back those sent. In this move we captured six pieces of artillery and several hundred prisoners, detained troops that were under marching orders, and ascertained that but one division (Kershaw's) of the three reputed detached, had gone.

Kershaw's division, and two brigades of Fitz Lee's cavalry divisioir results convinced me that but one division of infantry, Kershaw's, and one division of cavalry, Fitz Lee's, had joined himhim off, pushed across the Opequan towards Berryville with Kershaw's division in advance, but this division not expecting infe. As I had learned, beyond doubt, from my scouts, that Kershaw's division, which consisted of four brigades, was to be oright of the fifteenth I received reliable information that Kershaw's division was moving through Winchester, and in the direc. This brought out the enemy (who had been re-enforced by Kershaw's division which came through Swift Run gap), against the near the Shenandoah river, by two brigades of infantry of Kershaw's division and Wickham's brigade of cavalry, supported by
