The Daily Dispatch: August 18, 1864., [Electronic resource], Ran away from my farm, at the Half-way House (search)
From Petersburg. Petersburg, August 17. --Deserters and prisoners brought in to-day concur in the statement that Burnside's and Warren's corps are still in our front here, whilst Hancock's, (Second), and perhaps other infantry, are now operating on the north side of James river. Advices received at headquarters here confirm the defeat of the enemy in the fight yesterday, near White's Tavern, on the north side of James river. Our loss was not very large. Among our losses were Generals Girardey and Chambliss, killed. The fight is supposed to have been renewed, to some extent, to-day, firing being heard in that direction. Official advices from the Valley Department were received at these headquarters up to yesterday. Up to that time no general engagement had taken place. In front of this place nothing of interest is transpiring. Rain has fallen every day this week, which is most grateful to man and beast.

ly heard in Richmond. After some show of resistance, the Yankees abandoned their position and fled, leaving the hill in possession of our troops, and our signal station has since been re-established. Signal Hill is on the plantation of Mr. Henry Cox, about two miles and a half below Chaffin's Bluff. Our little fleet of ironclads performed their work effectually, and their gallant officers and crews are entitled to much credit for the accuracy of their fire. The report that Brigadier-General Chambliss was killed in the fight of Tuesday is confirmed. His dead body was sent into our lines by the enemy on Wednesday under flag of truce. Captain W. Roy Mason, jr., of General Fields's staff, is badly wounded and a prisoner. He has been sent to Fortress Monroe. Colonel Oates, of Georgia, (Fields's division,) and Lieutenant-Colonel Carmichael, of the Twenty-eighth Georgia regiment, were also badly wounded in Tuesday's battle. Lieutenant Lewis, of the Eighteenth North Carolina regim

This was the commencement of action on Thursday evening when the heavy flag gave rise to the impression that a general enga was in progress. An official dispatch, however, confirms our statement of yesterday in regard the extent of the affair. It says it was an of the left of our lines north of James river against the enemy's right, to discover his strength and The object of the reconnaissance having been accomplished, our troops withdrew. It is reported that a portion of and Chambliss's brigades of cavalry were and that they suffered no material loss. The infantry also participated, and for a brief period the firing was heavy and rapid. The reconnaissance developed the fact that the Eighteenth army crops was among the troops in our front. The against ground that the movement on the of the James is merely a feint to cover operation front of Petersburg; and the sudden resumption, active hostilities on that line gives strength to the belief. The part sustained
The Daily Dispatch: September 20, 1864., [Electronic resource], General Hampton's raid around Grant. (search)
General Hampton's raid around Grant. General Hampton's raid in Grant's rear, and capture of a large number of prisoners and cattle, seems to have been a very handsome affair. He left Petersburg on Wednesday morning with Barringer's, Chambliss's, Rosser's and Dearing's brigades of cavalry, and Graham's and McGregor's batteries of artillery. Camping at Duval's mills, eighteen miles from the city, in Sussex county, that night, he resumed the march on Thursday morning, passing within three miles of Stony creek, and thence across the Jerusalem plankroad to the Norfolk and Petersburg road. The raid was undertaken to secure a drove of cattle grazing at Coggin's Point, in Prince George county, and the nearest force of the enemy to it was at Sycamore church. It was determined to attack that force at daylight on Friday morning. The Petersburg Express says: All necessary disposition of the troops having been made, General Lee's division guarding every channel of approach to preve
