Civil War Cavalry
Meeting with a terrific fire of infantry from a whole brigade, and being menaced on the right by a large column of rebel cavalry he was obliged to retire, which was done in good order, considering the nature of the ground and the obstacles on the line of his retreat. Colonel Gordon held the remaining regiments of his brigade unbroken, and checked the advance of the rebels until it became evident the attacking columns were overwhelming, and would soon cut off the avenues of retreat.
