The Daily Dispatch: February 8, 1864., [Electronic resource], Another movement of the enemy from the Peninsula. (search)
r and cold. Headquarters, Western Virginia, Feb. 3. --After we drove the enemy from the bridges yesterday, the rebels commenced a rapid retreat, our cavalry closely following them up, and skirmishing ensuing. Last night a portion of Gen. Sullivan's forces, in attempting to cut the enemy off, encountered a large force of rebels in Mechanicsburg Gap. near Romney, and in the neighborhood of this Gap. a fight took place. We eventually succeeded in compelling the enemy to take another ro the right, and they skedaddled with considerable precipitancy. In this engagement we took a number of prisoners. In retreating the enemy hastened to make a junction with the main rebel forces near Moore field. It is believed that General Sullivan's and Col. Mulligan's columns have formed a junction, and are now pursuing the rebels vigorously. If the enemy escapes our forces he certainly will not be able to take any large portion of plunder. Wheeling, Va., Feb. 3.--General Kelle
