rebels from their fortified camp on the al
legbany Mountains. Our forces came in
sight of tie enemy, who were drawn up in
line of battle in front of their entrench-

them back. A hot fire was kept up all
the afternoon by both sides, Outing which
several brilliant charges were made by our
meE.
Gen. Milroy withdrew at nightfall, in-
tending to renew the attack all the night.
During the night the rebels left their camp
misunderstanding everything they could
not carry with them.
Our loss was 80 killed and 80 wounded.
The rebel loss is believed to be not less
than 100 killed, including one field officer.
