On May 8, 1864, at the headquarters of the 1st Calvary Division, Army of West La., a general order praised the gallantry of the officers and men of Terrell's and Liken's regiments in their engagement with the enemy on the 2d inst. at the Chambers' plantation, where they charged a largely superior force of calvary and infantry strongly posted in the negro quarters on the plantation and behind a fence running east of the trench. Against five fold odds, they charged with a yell, led by Col. Terrell, and at sunset drove the enemy in confusion from the position. Their example was held up to stir the army to renewed efforts to drive from the land an enemy that attempted to waste by fire a country it had been unable to conquer by the sword, by command of Brig. Gen. A.P. Bagby through J.P. Smith, A.A.G., commanding division.
