CHARLESTON,
December 22, 1864.
(Received 23d.)
On the 16th instant
enemy, 800 strong, occupied Pollard. After burning Government and railroad
buildings, retreated in the direction they came. They were pursued thirty
miles, losing a portion of their transportation, baggage, and supplies, leaving
many dead negro troops on the road. Our forces, commanded by General Liddell,
acted with spirit and gallantry.
