Rebel pickets fired on them as they passed by.
The artillery taken comprised the following:
Twelve 3-inch rifled guns.
Six
James's.
Six 24-pound howitzers.
Four 20-pound Parrott guns.
Six 12-pound guns.
Four 12-pound howitzers.
Two 10-inch Dahlgrens.
One 50-pound
Parrott.
Six 6-pound guns, and several pieces of “

Seven of the whole number were thoroughly spiked.

The Commissary Department comprised six days rations for twelve thousand men. This embraces nearly all the
Government property which was surrendered.
