Fourth Cavalry
I directed the captain to take one platoon forward and find out what was in the wood. The platoon consisted of fifteen men, who pushed forward, dislodged the enemy, and held the position, losing one man taken prisoner. " General Stanley, having now come up, ordered the artillery to the front, and threw a few shells, which effectually drove them off. " On the 3d, advanced on Liberty, the 1st brigade again taking the advance; drove a small force from Prosperity Church to Liberty, where the enemy was found in position on the opposite side of the river, and the hill back of Liberty covered with sharp shooters.
