[b]Captain Beaufort in the West[/b] Beaufort's cavalry, consisting of 100 Partisan Cavalry and 50 Mounted Rifles, would continue their southerly retreat in the face of the numerically superior British Cuirassiers and Negroes. They were currently unaware of the Native Americans. They offered no threat or desire to battle, but maintained surveillance to ensure they were well ahead of the enemy. Beaufort kept his 50 Mounted Rifles in the rear and his 100 Partisan Cavalry at the front. Perhaps if the British volunteers galloped ahead on their own steeds the rebels might offer battle, but for the moment they'd make way for the southern river crossing. [b]Brigadier General Rumby at Miller's Farm[/b] The rebels set up camp around Miller's Farm, establishing lookouts and pickets all around. John Rumby began to devise a plan to seize Harrisburg, which the Yankees were certainly fortifying at the moment. His plan started to take form but he decided he would allow his soldiers time to rest. A few Grey-clad scouts would be spotted on the outskirts of the town as the rebels attempted to survey the goings-on of the Union force.
