orm for the charge, and while they were forming he slid his men and prisoners between two divisions of the rebel cavalry and rejoined his regiment. Two things probably saved the Major. He lost his hat and took a secesh cap from a prisoner. He looked like a reb. When he returned through the two divisions of rebel cavalry he had so many prisoners and so few men that they doubtless mistook him and his party for their own men moving out to reconnoitre. This may sound extravagant, but I have the word of the prisoners he brought in (fourteen) and of his own men for its fidelity, and the ambulance he captured, with General Stuart's trunk, papers, letters, and plans, are at headquarters. The battle soon became a fight for Beverly Ford. We drove the enemy back, secured the ford, and recrossed about sundown. We accomplished our great design, that is, found out that the enemy was there. Our regiment has suffered severely, but I cannot yet give you the particulars. Devenport.
