A good haul.
--The Abingdon
Virginian says that after the rout of
General Shields's column, at
Port Republic, on the 9th of June, and during the pursuit in the ridges,
William H. Fulier,
John G. G. Davis,
Lafayette Gilmer, of
Captain John Duff's company, from
Russell, and
Charles Godsey and
James Flecher, of
Captain Wood's company, from
Scott, all of the 37th Regiment Virginia Volunteers, came across a party of one
Yankee Captain, eight,
Lieutenants, and between forty and fifty non-commissioned officers and privates.
Our party of five demanded the surrender of the
Yankees, Fuller at the same time calling to the
Colonel to hurry up the regiment.
There was no
Colonel nor regin sent near, but the ruse had its desired effect, and this party of between fifty and sixty Yankees, officers an men, surrendered, and were marched in by five
Virginia soldiers.
