ANOTHER
AFFAIR
There
was a little affair near the Halfway House below Williamsburg, on Sunday morning, between a
detachment of Howitzers, under Major Randolph, and a company of the enemy. It appears they were about to meet in the
road, when Major Randolph unlimbered one of his pieces and let fire, knocking
over ten or twenty of the enemy, who immediately beat a retreat. They met a gentleman on their way, in a sulkey, and took it way from him to accommodate one of
their wounded. The same gentleman saw a
wagon loaded with wounded men. They were
making a very rapid march of it towards Hampton
as they passed by.
