The following Is Gen. ROsecran,s official
report:
CAMP SCOTT, Sept. IL.
To Col, e. D. Townsend
We yesterday marched seventeen miles
and half and reached the enemy's en-.
trenehed position in front Of Conhx Ferry,
driving his advanced outposts and pickets
before as. We found him occupying
strongly entrenched position, covered bY a
forest too dense to admit IFS being seen at
distance Of 800 yards. His force was
nVe regiments besides the one driven in.
At o'clock We began q strong reconnoi-
sance, which proceeded 70 such length that
We were about to assault the position on
the flank and front, when night coming on,
and our troops being completely exhausted,
| drew them out Of the woods and posted
them IA order Of battle behind ridges i'm.
mediately in front Of the snemy's position,
where they rested on their arms until
morning.
Shortly afterwards q runaway contra
band came in and reported that The enemy
had crossed the Gsuley during the night
oy means Of the ferry and o bridge which
they had completed.
Col Ewing was ordered TO take posses
sion Of the camp, which he did ct about
seven o'clock, capturing few prisoners
Two stand Of col0rs, considerable ouan-
tity Of arms, with quartermasters stores,
messing snd camp equipage.
The enemy have destroyed the bridge
across the Gsuley which here rushed
through deep gorge, and our troops be-
ing suh much fatigusd, having no mater.
lal ior Immediately replacing the bridge,
It was thought prudent to encamp the
troops and occupy the ferry and captured
camp, sending q few rifed cannon shots
efter the enemy to produce 3 moral effect.
Our loss viii probably amount TO twenty
killed and twenty wounded. The enemys
loss has not been sscertained, but from re-
pOrls il must have been considerable.
