Fourth Cavalry
The General ordered me to drive the enemy out of Rover. A mile and a half from that place I met the pickets and drove them in sharply. At Rover I found about 400, who appeared determined to make a, stand. I detached the 4th Michigan Cavalry with orders to gain the pike between them and Unionville. The enemy, perceiving my design, commenced a retreat. I followed them closely up with the 7th Pennsylvania and 4th U. S. Cavalry, and finding that the 4th Michigan had failed in cutting them off, I gave the order to draw sabres and charge.
