Malvern Hill (Virginia, United States) (search for this): article 1
The lines below Richmond. The public seems destined to be left in blissful obscurity in regard to affairs at Malvern Hill. Up to 9 o'clock last evening no official account had reached the War Office of its capture or possession by the enemy, and it is possible that all the statements to that effect are premature. All the information received from that quarter seems to have been brought by parties who left the field while our troops occupied it, and before any indications of evacuation were developed.

l depot last evening from Hanover Court-House brought 96 Federal soldiers and 16 negroes, captured by Stuart's cavalry, on Wednesday, at Massaponox Church, eight miles this side of Fredericksburg. The prisoners are mostly from Indiana, though there are some from the 20th, 21st, 33d, and 33d New York infantry. There are no commissioned officers among them, which is a subject of regret to a people who desire to see the recent order from the War Department executed upon some of this class from Pope's command, but the prisoners say they ran away with such speed that to catch them was an impossibility. We have received from a participant a full account of this bold and successful expedition, which we append: On last Monday morning Major-Gen. Stuart, with detachment of his division, consisting of the 2d brigade, composed of the 3d, 4th, 5th and 9th Virginia cavalry, under command of Brig. Gen.
