From the Richmond Whig, 5/13/1864, p. 1, c. 3
PRISONERS. - Of the Yankee cavalry, who
were prowling about the northern suburbs yesterday, one hundred and eighty
privates and three officers were captured by our troops and committed to the
Libby. Among the number was one most miserable looking nigger; and among the
officers, Surgeon Fergusson of the 8th Pennsylvania. One of the prisoners was
captured by an old citizen who rode out into the country to see what was going
on.
