It was the intention for one part to attract the attention of our troops, and in the mean time the other company were to cross at the lock and come in on the rear, and either capture or drive away our men, and then rush to the Dam and break it, thereby rendering the canal entirely useless. In this they were foiled, and kept at a distance until reinforcements were sent for. One messenger was despatched to Williamsport for artillery, and another sent to this place. But a short time elapsed, when Company B, commanded by Captain Noel, and Company G, commanded by Lieutenant Baldwin, were on their way to meet the enemy, and as the report of the guns were heard in the distance, it gave renewed vigor to those who had already marched to Shepherdstown and returned without a shot at Secesh; and having partaken of a light dinner, were off in another direction, prepared for a heavy conflict with those marauders w

About eleven o'clock Lieut. Gallagher crossed the river, under cover of our guns, to see if he could learn any thing relative to Capt. Williams and his party, and learned that they were safe, though prisoners, and on their way to Martinsburg. Captain Williams was much beloved by the entire regiment, and his vacancy will be hard to fill, and all that were with him were picked men.

Doc. 225. skirmish at Dam no. 4, Potomac River, December 11, 1861. Sharpsburg, December 13, 1861. On the morning of the 11th instant heavy cannonading was heard in the vicinity of Dam No. 4, and about one o'clock P. M. a messenger arrived in haste for reinforcements, stating that the enemy had attacked the pickets and were endeavoring to demolish the Dam, by cannonading. When the enemy were first seen they appeared to be out on a scouting expedition, and Major Hubler immediately sent twenty-five men to a lock about one mile above the Dam, and so soon as the enemy arrived at that point they commenced firing on our pickets. They returned the fire, instantly killing four and wounding ten, three mortally. The enemy then fell back to a house about one mile from the river, when the men remaining at the Dam commenced firing on the house, killing three and wounding several. At this time the enemy retreated back to the woods, and after waiting some time, Capt. Williams, of Com

At this time the enemy retreated back to the woods, and after waiting some time, Capt. Williams, of Company E, obtained permission to cross over and reconnoitre; and upon going near to the house they had been firing at he observed a. company of infantry, who commenced firing upon him and his men, consisting of Corporals H. W. Wescott, R. S. Richards, privates; James McGuire, Lemuel Hazzard, Oliver Hubler, T. Robbins, of Company E, and private Isaac Hall, of Company K. They returned the fire and retreated while loading. In the mean time, while their attention was directed to the infantry, some eighty cavalry rushed in between them and the river, thereby cutting them off from the assistance of their friends. As soon as they discovered their position they returned their fire upon the cavalry, unhorsing several.

Captain Williams was much beloved by the entire regiment, and his vacancy will be hard to fill, and all that were with him were picked men. That they fought hard for their freedom was plainly seen and sensibly felt, as they killed five and wounded quite a number during their capture. There is much credit due Companies E and K for the coolness and decision shown during the time, and every shot fired was expected to tell, and for that reason the enemy fell back, as the officers thought best to leave the Dam rather than lose their men. While they were in consultation one man was struck in the right eye and instantly killed, at a distance of seven hundred yards. During the evening a few cavalry made their appearance at the Lock, when Orderly Brown, of Company K, fired and killed one instantly, and the rest took a hasty departure and have not been seen since.
