Civil War
Twenty Fourth Regiment Infantry
The column reached Bellfield, on the Meberrin river, on the 9th, having totally destroyed the railroad from the Nottoway to that point, a distance of about twenty miles. On arriving at Bellfield a small force of the enemy was found posted on the south bank of the Meberrin, near Hickford, but did not make much resistance. The object of the expedition having been accomplished, the troops commenced to move back towards Petersburg on the 10th, the enemy with a considerable force of cavalry threatening the rear of the command, firing occasionally, but did not attack with any spirit, and on the 12th, arrived in camp in front of Petersburg.
