The Daily Dispatch: April 26, 1862., [Electronic resource], A Remarkable cavalry chase. (search)
The Peninsula. A correspondent of the Lynchburg Virginian, writing from Gloucester Point, April 21, says that the enemy made three desperate assaults on our lines at or near Wynne's Mills, on the night of the 19th, and were repulsed each time with considerable loss. The writer gives the following account of the situation of affairs on the Peninsula: Your readers may not understand what is meant in the newspaper reports of fights and skirmishing at "Dam No. 1," "Dam No. 2," &c. A word of explanation may make it all plain. Our line of defences extend from Yorktown diagonally across the Peninsula to or near the head of Warwick river. There is a creek running very near our lines and almost parallel with the same from near Yorktown to the river, upon which is built Wynne's mill, Lee's mill, and perhaps others. The stream is a small one, and offered no obstruction to the passage of any kind of troops, except at the mill-dams, until Gen. Magruder had dams constructed all along
