tion was defended by Lieut. Rice and 51 men of company A. 41st N. C. troops, under the command of Lieut.-Col Hargrove, of that regiment. The defence was most gallant and obstinate, though against such odds as to be unsuccessful. They were attacked from all directions by 1,000 cavalry, 200 dismounted men, and two pieces of artillery. We give the list of killed and wounded. Killed Privates John W. Newman, Jos. Cash, and Burton Nevils. Wounded: Serg't John Buchanan, mortally, private Jno. Pitland, mortally, (both since died;) Serg'ts Alex Pearce, J. G. Hays, and Wm. Strum; privates Stephen Knott, Wm. Sherron, James Ladd, James Sanford, Dennis O'Brien, J. Satterwhite, Thos. Clopton, Wm. Morgan, D. Buck, Jas. Emory, and Isaac Jenkins. Lieut.-Col. Hargrove received a sabre cut. The desperate courage of the defenders of this bridge against such odds may be understood when it is stated that out of fifty-three men twenty-two--nearly half — were killed or wounded before it was captured.
