The Daily Dispatch: October 31, 1861., [Electronic resource], The blockading fleet off New Orleans — News direct from the enemy. (search)
Our advices from the camps in Western gima are as late as Sunday last. A gentleman who arrived in this city yesterday forms us that Gen. Lee has fallen back to nager's Mill, between Meadow Bluff and Lewisburg, to anticipate a reported movement of the enemy from Summersville, by the derness road. It appears that the roads rk, one coming in at the mill, and the other mile behind Meadow Bluff, and by taking former route the enemy might have got Gen. Lee's rear, and made a demonstration sinst Lewisburg. Gen. Floyd was at Cotton ll, seven miles beyond Raleigh Court-house and had possession of Miller's, Carniax's, and Pack's Ferries, and the mouth of oat river. A report was in circulation that e had another engagement with the Federals a few days ago, but not credited. We have two statements of a movement of Gen.

Their loss in killed was eight, wounded twenty-five, and prisoners sixty-two. Of Major Balley's command not a man was killed, and only three slightly wounded. Ordnance and commissary stores were found in great abundance, all of which were destroyed except five hundred Enfield rifles, which were placed in wagons and safely brought back to the Salt Sulphur Springs.
