Civil War Cavalry
" The main column was put in motion at about 10 A. M. At Middletown I found a part of the train in some confusion, from demonstrations made by the rebel cavalry, but no considerable force presented itself until the head of our force had passed New Town. At this point Colonel Donnelly encountered and rapidly drove away a large body of the enemy's cavalry by a spirited movement of the 46th Pennsylvania with a section of artillery.
'' Anticipating, from reports received on the route, a stout resistance in front, the leading regiments of the column moved in compact order to within six miles of Winchester.
