CORRESPONDENCE, ETC.-UNION.
GOLDSBOROUGH, March 28, 1865.
Major-General CovUcH,
Moseley Hall:
Your dispatch is received. My map indicates two roads striking the
railroad about midway between Goldsborough and Moseley Hall. I
thought if these roads exist I would send a division from here to cover
them. I have sent Captain Lord to see. Your patrolling is very well.
J. M. SCHOFIELD,
Major- General.
MOSELEY HALL, March 28, 1865-7.30 p. m.
(Received 8.20 p. m.)
Colonel CAMPBELL:
Twenty-five rebel horsemen attacked a party of the Twelfth New
York to-day at the intersection of Moseley Hall and Snow Hill road
with the Goldsborough and Snow Hill road four miles this side of latter
place. The rebels were run off. I have an idea they were O'Conner's
party. A half dozen of Sherman's foragers were carried off by them.
Otherwise everything seems to be quiet on my front.
D. N. COUCH,
Major- General.
HEADQUARTERS TWELFTH NEW YORK CAVALRY,
Moseley Hall Road, March 28, 1865.
Captain CILLEY:
CAPTAIN: Captain Church, sent out this morning with three com-
panies, has returned. He reached Snow Hill and returned without
material adventure. Lieutenant Haas, with fourteen men, charged upon
the force which fired on the bummers and dispersed them without
trouble, but was unable to make any captures. Negroes reported 200
cavalry beyond Contentnea Creek. I find to-day easy roads to Best's
Station, on my left, and General Stiles on my right. My pickets extend
now to Snow Hill and Hookerton, but, of course, are not very strong.
Very respectfully,
JAS. W. SAVAGE,
Colonel Twelfth New York Cavalry.
HDQRS. FIRST AND SECOND DIvs., 23D ARMY CORPS,
Moseley Hall, N. C., March 28, 1865.
General McLEAN: -
GENERAL: The commanding general directs me to say that he has
information from Goldsborough that a division of the enemy's cavalry
is moving, with four guns, on our communications north of the Neuse
River. He desires you to be on the qui vive and report promptly any
indications of the enemy's approach.
I am, general, very respectfully, your obedient servant,
C. A. CILLEY,
Assistant Adjutant-General.
