Ninth Regiment Cavalry
Marching to Broad river on the 17th, it charged and took possession of the bridge, but was unable to save it as it had been fired by the enemy before his retreat. Crossing the river on the 18th, passing Monticello to Blackstock Station on the 22d, and burning the railroad depot and stores, it crossed the Catawba river into North Carolina on the night of the 23d on pontoons. The regiment continued its march, reaching Phillips's Cross Roads on the 4th of March, where it engaged the enemy for three hours, a detachment of the regiment destroying the stables and a grist mill at Wadesboro after a brisk skirmish.
