Tuesday morning, August 12, 1862.
The intelligence by the cars yesterday was not as favor-
able as we anticipated. There was no fighting of conse-
quence on Sunday, and, the enemy being heavily reinforced,
Jackson fell back a short distance towards his main
body. The Yankee prisoners are now said to number one
hundred, including Gen. Prince. No statement of our
loss in killed and wounded, nor of the enemy's. A young
man named Baylor, of this county, was killed and Wm.
H. Gamble lost an arm. One passenger brought a report
that several of our regiments were surrounded + captured. —
But this is not believed, as other passengers and letters from
the army say nothing about it. The weather very warm
and dry.
