We learn from
Acting Adjutant Pader, of the 5th Virginia cavalry, who was in
Gloucester on Monday last, that on Tuesday the
Yankees appeared in some force — artillery, cavalry, and infantry — at the
Court House and at Claysor's tan-yard.
About 300 in two separate made their way to
Gloucester Point.
The first lot went down on Tuesday, crossing at
Aylett's, in King William, where they captured and paroled a soldier named
Saunders.
The second party crossed at
Walkerton and destroyed a lot of commissary stores and wagons.
They took along only horses and such negroes as expressed a desire to go with them — At
Carlton's store in
King and
Queen, they captured
Lieut. Wm. C. Nunn and
private Clondis, of the
King and
Queen cavalry.--They carried
Nunn off with them and paroled Clondis.
Adjutant Puller and a comrade captured, when about one mile and a half from King William Court-House, two negroes belonging to
John Pollard, who mistook them for Yankees, and told them they had delivered up their master's horses to the enemy.
They were lodged in the county jail.
The
Yankees had sent them out as spies.
On Monday a regiment of Yankee cavalry mustered at
Aylett's, and another at the
Court-House.
Both were under
Col. Kilpatrick, commanding the brigade.
The troops came down to
Mantua on Friday, on the
Mattaponi, to cross, but two of our pickets had removed the boat.
Adjutant Puller has no doubt but that the cavalry who made their way to
Gloucester Point are the same engaged in the recent raid about
Richmond.
He saw them once or twice, and the people said the
Yankees had boasted of being in sight of
Richmond.
They were followed by negroes riding stolen horses.
