Army of Northern Virginia, in Stuart's Cavalry Division, included the 1st North Carolina, the 1st and 2nd South Carolina Cavalry, Jeff Davis Legion of Mississippi, and Cobb's and Phillips's Legions of Georgia.

On July 3 the brigade arrived about noon and skirmished with Union sharpshooters. In the afternoon, the 1st North Carolina and Jeff Davis Legion, advancing in support of Chambliss's Brigade, drove back the Union cavalry but met their reserve and were in a critical position when the brigade went to their support and a hand to hand fight ensued in which Brigadier General Wade Hampton was severely wounded. The conflict ended in the failure of the Confederates in their purpose to assail the rear of the Union army. Losses were 17 killed, 56 wounded, 18 missing, for a total of 91.
