American Civil War
SIXTEENTH REGIMENT INFANTRY
A special correspondent of the New York Herald says:
"General Meade has highly complimented Colonel Vincent's brigade for the handsome and gallant manner which the troops deported themselves in the recent reconnoissance to Ashby's Gap. Not a saber was drawn by the cavalry until arriving four miles beyond Middleburg. The infantry dislodged the enemy from behind stone wall fences, drove them from the bridge crossing Goose Creek, and captured the Blakely gun.
