Cavalry
Summary
Last Thursday a company of the 5th U.S. Cavalry passed through town and encamped nearby. The next day they left for Winchester to relieve a company in Gen. Hancock’s command. Local “Mosebyites” circulated the rumor that the cavalrymen were going to put down a negro insurrection, which no one believed was true.
