The Daily Dispatch: December 19, 1862., [Electronic resource], Affairs in the valley. (search)
Affairs in the valley. We were in error yesterday in stating that the enemy had probably again reoccupied Winchester. A gentleman who left there on Monday morning says that some excitement existed in the town at that time, resulting from reports that the enemy were approaching in considerable force on the Martinsburg and Pughtown roads, but that the report proved to be unfounded, and our cavalry force had returned. On Thursday of last week some thirty five of the enemy made a dash upon our picket post at Darksville, Berkeley county, and succeeded in capturing thirteen of our men, who were negligent of their duty, and permitted themselves to be surprised. From the same source we learn that a number of the Marylanders who have been drafted into the Lincoln service are deserting and crossing the river. One day last week ten came over in a gang who crossed at Shepherdstown.
