Magruder arrived at
Bethel Church a few hours since, and right glad were we to see him, for “Old
Mac," as we call him, has our fullest confidence. Sent my
"detachment," mounted, with a guard of cavalry to New Market Bridge
to reconnoitre. Results: procured two cart loads of corn, one spade and two
shovels, shot at one of our own videttes, but didn't hit him, as he ran too
fast. We could have been easily cut off had the Yankees possessed any daring.
