“We have another report that the enemy have evacuated Charlotte, and that last night at 10 o'clock the rear of the army passed Barnet's Creek, 5 miles below Charlotte, on the road to Bigger's ferry. I have waited to have the report officially confirmed, and am not fully convinced of it yet. Col. Davie was in the neighborhood of Charlotte, and I cannot account for his not sending an account, unless he is too busily engaged on their rear.”
