Fortunately the enemy's shots passed harmlessly over their heads; but the shooting did not dismay the men in the least. Lieutenant Bowen attempted to cross the stream with his horse, but the latter was shot under him before he had advanced a third of the way across. This prevented field-officers and the cavalry from attempting to ford the stream. All the companies but two p

General McClellan having received intelligence of the skirmish, rode toward the river and met the regiment on its return. He grasped General Woodbury warmly by the hand and said: General, I am happy to congratulate you again on your success. I have had occasion to do so before, and do so again with pleasure. He also shook hands with Capt. Rose, of the first company, and said: I thank you, Captain: your men have done well. To some of the men he said: How do you feel, boys? They exclaimed: General, we feel bully! Do you think anything can stop you from going to Richmond? he asked, and an enthusiastic No! rang from the whole line.
