The Daily Dispatch: July 11, 1863., [Electronic resource], Letter from the North. (search)
Our whole army is in motion, and the highest hopes are entertained that but a small portion of Gen. Lee's army will escape. Hagerstown, via Frederick, July 6.--It is reported here by officers that on Saturday afternoon our cavalry, under Kilpatrick, intercepted a retreating train of rebel wagons, guarded by Jones's brigade of infantry, cavalry and artillery, near Monterey, on the Hagerstown, and Gettysburg road. He captured 900 prisoners, including 200 wounded officers and two guns. Theoy those at Williamsport, but finding Imboden there with a large force, abandoned the enterprise. About 1,500 rebel prisoners, including 37 wagon loads of wounded, arrived here to-day by the Hagerstown pike. They included those captured by Gen. Kilpatrick. Heavy firing was heard yesterday afternoon, in the direction of Monterey and Greencastle. It is reported to have been caused by our pursuing forces pressing upon the enemy's rear-guard echo, being strongly posted, checked the pursuit.
