Report of Brigadier General John D. Imboden, C. S. Army.

NEW MARKET, VA., May 13, 1864.

Colonel Boyd, of the First New York Cavalry, with detachments from the Fifteenth New York and Cole's (Maryland) battalion, came upon me from Luray about sunset. We pitched into him, cut him off from the roads, and drove him into the Massanutten Mountain. Numbers have been captured, together with about half of all their horses. They are wandering in the mountain to-night cut off. When day breaks I think I will get nearly all of theirs. Colonel Boyd was wounded. We have his horse, and he is in the brush.
