8TH CAVALRY REGIMENT
December 16--Our advance entered Marion, Va., and met the rebels again, the Eighth Cavalry in front, driving the enemy until they arrived at a bridge over the river, some three miles east of the village, when the rebels attempted to stop us. Capt. Rush and Lieut. Mahoney, with Cos. C and D charged the bridge, and drove the rebels from their position and put them to flight. Private Higgins, of Co. D, was killed, and
Sergt. Mulker and Private Giroin were wounded. The artillery was captured at Red Creek, two miles west of Wytheville. The last named place was entered in the evening and occupied during the night. A large portion of ordinance and other stores were destroyed.

(Webmaster believes, but has not proven, that David is the same soldier as # 1)
