The Daily Dispatch: August 16, 1862., [Electronic resource], From Gordonsville. (search)
ble to learn anything of special interest from our lines about Gordonsville yesterday.--Our latest reports, up to half-past 12 o'clock yesterday, represent everything quiet, with no fighting of consequence since the battle of Saturday. It is said, with some grounds of probability that the forces under Pope are concentrating in Madison county, and will perhaps attempt a flank movement on Gen. Jackson, while Burnside, who is being heavily reinforced by McClellan, advances through Culpeper and Orange.

Capture of a Distinguished Prisoner. --The Warrenton (Va) correspondent of the New York Herald, says: Among the prisoners captured at Orange Court-House on Saturday last was a Captain from this town, named A.

Capt. Willis was an Aid de-Camp to Gen, Early at the battle of Bull Run, and received special mention in that officer's official report for gallantry and bravery. Afterwards he raised a company of cavalry and joined Ashby's famous regiment, and became one of the most dreaded scouts in this section of rebeldom.
