Wilmington, July 6, 1863 |

| Hon. James A. Seddon |

| Enemy, about 1,200 strong, made an
advance on the {Wilmington & Weldon}
railroad near Warsaw; damages trifling, and will be immediately
repaired. They have retreated before the force sent there, and we
have no cavalry to pursue them. General Martin may cut them off. Had
the force stationed at Kenansville been kept there, the enemy would
not have reached the road. A few companies will remain at
Kenansville. |
