The Daily Dispatch: August 3, 1863., [Electronic resource], The Yankees in North Carolina. (search)
and the enemy had Spears's entire brigade and nine pieces of artillery engaged. At seven P M., he commenced his retreat, and our forces pursuing, the enemy finally fled precipitately, destroying the bridges behind him, and never halting until he had crossed the Meherrin river at Murfreesboro'. Having but little, if any cavalry, it was impossible for our forces to continue the pursuit only a short distance. But for night closing in at so early an hour, affiant movement would have been made, that would probably have resulted in the capture of the entire party. The point at which the Yankees called in their retreat was Mount Tebor, half way between Winston and Murfreesboro' and here they awaited reinforcements. On Thursday, the 30th, they again advanced in three columns--one by way of Boykin's Station, (about 25 miles from Weldon,) on the Seaboard and Roanoke Railroad, the second by Roanoke river, and the third by way of Jackson — the same road on which they were repulsed Tuesday.
