More fighting on the Southside — the enemy repulsed — news from Northern Virginia--raid on the Central railroad, &c.

…

The following dispatch was received at the War Department, Saturday morning.

Headquarters, May 21st, 1864.

To Gen. S. Cooper:

All quiet last night. We remain in possession of the enemy's rifle-pits and the ground gained by yesterday's fight, which was quite severe during part of the day, especially near Ware Bottom Church.

I regret to say that Gen. W. S. Walker is missing. It is feared he fell in the hands of the enemy while gallantly leading his troops into action.

G. T. Beauregard
