| The Raid on the Mobile & Great Northern Railroad |
| Charleston, December 22, 1864 |
| |
| To Gen. S. Cooper, |
| On the 16th instant, the enemy, eight
hundred strong, occupied Pollard. After burning the Government and
railroad buildings, they retired in the direction they came. |
| They were pursued thirty miles, losing a
portion of their transportation, baggage and supplies, and leaving
many dead negro troops on the road. |
| Our forces, commanded by General Liddell,
acted with spirit and gallantry. |
