Guerillas on the Potomac
Summary
The Rebel guerrillas on the VA side of the Potomac fire at anything that moves across the river, including Maj. Andrews' mail carrier who was recently shot in the hand while delivering mail around Poolesville. Other incidents include Rebels firing on the 1st Delaware Cavalry. A group of 15 Rebels crossed the river on a chicken-stealing expedition. They were finally overtaken by cavalry who succeeded in catching 10 of them. [from Washington Star]
