Drainsville, skirmish at.
The loyal people of the country became impatient because the Army of the Potomac, fully 200,000 strong, at the end of 1861, was seemingly kept at bay by 60,000 Confederates—a little more than their number at Manassas.
There was a sense of relief when, on Dec. 20, Gen. E. O. C. Ord had a sharp skirmish with Confederate cavalry near Drainsville, led by Col. J. E. B. Stuart.
Ord had gone out to capture Confederate foragers, and to gather forage from the farms of Confederates.
He was attacked by Stuart, who had come up from Centreville.
A severe fight occurred, and the Confederates were beaten and fled.
The Nationals lost seven killed and sixteen wounded; the Confederates lost forty-three killed and 143 wounded. The Nationals returned to camp with sixteen wagon-loads of hay and twenty-two of corn.
