Doc. 145.-the capture of the Teaser. United States Steamship Maratanza, James River, Saturday, July 5, 1862. Yesterday being the Fourth of July, we wanted to have a celebration, so at three o'clock started under moderate steam for a reconnoissance up the river. Just as we reached Haxall's, where it has been our custom to anchor, our member of the signal corps cried out from aloft: Rebel flag in sight! All hands to quarters, and let her go ahead full steam! said Commander Stevens, (who has, by the way, a quick eye and ready will for his business.) We soon hove in full sight of the stranger; she was flying the Red, White, and red. We trained our one hundred-pounder on her, and got all ready to fire, when down came her flag.

The enemy's force consisted of seven regiments of cavalry, namely, Barstow's, Adams's, Stevens's, Jackson's, Forrest's, Wheeler's, and Parson's, amounting in the aggregate to five thousand men, under the command of Brig.-Gen. Armstrong. The aggregate of Col. Dennis's force was but eight hundred. Discovering that he was outnumbered, Col. Dennis immediately selected the best position the ground would admit, and formed in line of battle. The position was in a large grove surrounded by farms, the fields all being in corn — the wood and some broken ground being in the rear and the corn
