The Daily Dispatch: November 12, 1862., [Electronic resource], The raid at Fredericksburg. (search)
ng them approaching, turned on his horse and took six deliberate shots at them, but neither took effect. The firing took place in the square on which we live, and some of it immediately in front of our residence. The Confederates were released, and soon thereafter the Federal captured. From the prisoners we learn the Federal force consisted of parts of two Indiana companies. (55 men,) under Capts Sharra and Matheny, and picked men from the 6th Ohio (80 men) under a Major. The whole force was therefore only 135 men. Captain Dahlgren, of Gen Sigel's staff was, in command.--Only about one-half of his force crossed the river and came to Fredericksburg. Citizens of Falmouth say the whole force reached 210; but our information is from Federal prisoners. The spirit of Capt. Simpson's company is highly extolled.--They had arrived only the night before, and were weary, but they dashed into the fray in gallant style. Citizens were not interfered with nor their property injured.
