The Daily Dispatch: December 14, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 14 (search)
On Friday last General Hancock went out in force towards Centreville for the purpose mainly of observation, and incidentally to procure forage. Detachments went out at the same time from Gen. Porter's division towards Flint Hill, and from Gen. McCall's towards Drainsville. Gen. Brooks was stationed on Freedom Hill, sending detachments beyond Vienna. These latter were intended to cover and support the advance of General Hancock, who commanded the principal force. The several detachments moved to their positions at an early hour in the morning, and were in every respect successful in accomplishing their object. Gen. Hancock procured 91 loads of forage, an General McCall over 50. None of the enemy were seen save a few cavalry scouts, who retired rapidly from view. But the expedition was, as it now appears, of considerable importance in its results. Gen. Hancock carried out in every respect his plans, going no further towards Centreville than he originally designed.
