The Daily Dispatch: October 29, 1864., [Electronic resource], Another Statement of the battle of Strasburg. (search)
written just after our little fight of last Sunday. In it I stated that parts of Wofford's and Terry's brigades were engaged. I wish to correct a mistake in so far as Wofford's brigade is concerned. It was Conner's South Carolina brigade, of Kershaw's division, that was engaged, instead of Wofford's. General Conner was severely wounded at the same time. After that affair of Sunday, we lay in the front of the enemy offering battle for three days; but as they refused to attack us, we thee river and pressed on toward the enemy's camp, which was strongly fortified. No pickets were encountered until within about two miles of camp, when they fired on our cavalry. It was a complete surprise.

I knew who did it; but distinctly told her I did not, and could not recognize him if I saw him. Heard before the occurrence that Clarke was in company with one of Kershaw's men. The difficulty occurred in Rocketts; but as to the exact place, I cannot tell. I was under the influence of liquor, and think that Clarke was, also. F. Clements, of the Tenth Georgia, was next sworn and deposed: I was on duty at Rocketts, for the purpose of examining the papers of all soldiers, by order of General Kershaw. --While going along the street, met Clarke and told one of the sentinels (Mr. Neal) to halt him. Neal did so, and asked him for his papers. Clarke refused tt best to report to headquarters, and immediately started there. Lieutenant J. C. Bent, of Phillips's Georgia Legion, sworn: Am temporary Provost-Marshal for Kershaw's division. About eight o'clock Wednesday night, Corporal Clements came to camp and reported to me what he had done. I immediately took him to the Major for inv
