h a loss of 1 killed and 3 wounded. Lieutenant Washburn, having had his horse shot under him, was taken prisoner, but cut through the enemy and effected his escape. Having accomplished his reconnaissance, Major Love returned, with no further loss.

I cannot discriminate between them, because each one displayed a heroism worthy of the cause we are engaged for. Very respectfully, Thos. Ha
