The Daily Dispatch: May 4, 1863., [Electronic resource], From Fredericksburg. (search)
d close almost as in line of battle. From above I hear Lee drove the enemy five miles. Wilcox's brigade left Banks's ford and were sent out as skirmishers, but could not catch up with the Yankees, who were demoralized and retreated rapidly beyond Decker's, two miles below Chancellorsville. At midnight they returned to Banks's ford, where the enemy had appeared to be preparing to cross on pontoon bridges. The Yankees crossed at United States ford by permission, I suppose. Two brigades, Featherstone's and another, retired on their approach. A German Major came over at the wrong place and got caught. The citizens past whose houses the enemy retreated, said they were much demoralized. Stuart and Fitzhugh Lee are about, taking prisoners, &c. If Hood and Longstreet come up in the rear few Yankees will recross. Several valuable deserters swam the river last night at Fredericksburg. Barksdale's men received them.--Their names I did not hear. They were three mules and a horse. 11
