The Daily Dispatch: June 8, 1864., [Electronic resource], article 1 (search)
ides a number of wounded ones. June 7--4½ P. M. Early yesterday evening moved forward or rather swung his lines on our left around some three or four miles in pursuit of the enemy, who had left his front, until he found them in force strongly entrenched on the Pottototomy creek, with a deep and impenetrable marsh in their front. After skirmishing with them awhile nothing was left him but to desist in the pursuit. Among the prisoners whom we captured was a Captain of Engineers on Sheridan's staff. The enemy in falling back left some three or four lines of very heavy works. As usual the enemy have inflicted all kinds of wrongs upon the heads of the poor non-combatants left in their lines. Some of the people in the country thus abandoned by them were absolutely without one morsel to eat; whilst their houses had been literally sacked, the bedding being taken by the Yankee devils to the trenches to sleep on, and other kinds of furniture carried there and wantonly destroyed.
