The Daily Dispatch: November 8, 1861., [Electronic resource], Affairs at the South. (search)
Affairs at the South. From our Southern exchanges we gather the following intelligence of war movements, &c., in our Confederacy: A Yankee attempt at a surprise in Kentucky. The Louisville (Bowling Green) Courier, of the 4th, says: On Thursday last a body of four or five hundred Tories, under the command of Col. Hawkins, made an attempt to surprise a company of Confederates under Capt. Lewis, at Woodbury. Capt. Lewis was apprised of their approach and retired without loss, and in good order. A strong detachment, consisting of three regiments of infantry, two pieces of artillery, and three companies of cavalry, was sent out in that direction on Tuesday evening, for the purpose of punishing the Tories if they could be found. It was understood that McHenry, Stont, and others, with their forces from Owensboro, Hartford, and other points, in that direction. were following Hawkins to reinforce and sustain him, and it was hoped they would give battle to our forces.
