The Daily Dispatch: September 21, 1863., [Electronic resource], article 2 (search)
telligent set of gentlemen, and to Adjutant John G. King, of that command, I will take occasion to return thanks for the hospitality extended to me at that place. Since writing this morning I have seen a Major who made his escape from Cumberland Gap who furnishes a complete list of the regiments and batteries captured at that point. The artillery captured consisted of Leyden's Georgia battery, as previously reported, Barnes's Georgia artillery, and Fains's Tennessee battery. Infantry: 64th North Carolina, 64th and 62d Virginia, and 55th Georgia. Only about 250 or 300 of the garrison are now thought to have escaped, a majority of whom belonged to the 64th Virginia. Burnside, it is said, left the gap on last Friday with a brigade for Knoxville, leaving only two regiments to guard it. The reported fight sent you Wednesday evening by telegraph is said to have taken place at Cotton Port, on the Tennessee river. It still remains uncontradicted, and is credited here. O. K.
