Ninth Regiment Cavalry
(Colonel David with a part of the 8th and 9th had previously been ordered to report for duty to General Judah) and the 8th Michigan Cavalry, under"com-mand of Lieutenant Colonel WORMER. A portion of Shackelford brigade, comprising the 14th Illinois Cavalry and one section of Henshaw's Battery had already engaged the enemy, Henshaw losing both of his guns, which were afterwards retaken. Colonel David, though absent from his command, found opportunity, while assisting General Judah, to exhibit his high courage. With sixty men he captured nearly two hundred of the rebels, and left them as evidences of Michigan's heroism in the hands of the commanding general.
