Telegram report of Virginia cavalry clash near Richmond
A May telegram from New Orleans and West Passa via Morning Star describes a three day skirmish between Grand Ecore and Alexandria with Lucas's rear guard resisting Wharton’s 2 or 3 brigades. Rebels reportedly 10,000 cavalry harassed Union forces within seven miles of Alexandria under General Emery. The Western Metropolis notes a Union dash by the 1st and 2nd colored regiments across the Chickahominy with mounted detachments, killing three rebels and capturing 30 horses before pursuit toward Richmond.
