C, BETWEEN CONFEDERATE CAVALRY AND THE FEDERAL PICKETS. DECEMBER 5th, 1861. On December 5th, 1861, about eight oclock in the evening, the first skirmish on land took place between the Federal troops^ and a party of SouthCarolinians. The pickets which had been thrown out on the shell road—the main and only avenue to the village—had been stationed in their positionbut a few moments before a body of Confederate cavalry, numbering twenty or thirty men, came upon them, unexpectedly to both sides. The Confederatesdischarged their revolvers, and hit one of the Federalsin the neck, inflicting a painful but not dangerous wound. The fire was returned, but, as it wasdark, with what effect could not be ascertained. After this the pickets were not disturbed. The spot where this skirmish took place is about a mileand a half to the southwest of Beaufort, on the main road.
