soceendiur day we camped on the Big Rock
cos,le River. There we found the most
remarkable spring that ever issued from the
ground. Il 10 about 80 feet across IL, aud
discharges more than $50 barrels per minute
of the purest water ever saw. Said
Spring bubbles out Of the ground and has
ever appearance Of huge pot OF water In

ALP. NJ. Of Friday Oct. 25 we hitched
up and at P. M. we found ourselves en-
csmpsd on the very scene Of the light be-
tween the Union forces, under Col. Gorrard,
and the Rebels under Gen. ZOllcofer.
The rebels had nearly 5000 men in the bat
tie. while our whole force only amounted
TO 1900. As you have heard, the rebe''
were driven oG with terrible slaughter
The loss is not known, bat probably l5O
not fur from the real uumner. Our loss wa
A killed and 90 wounded. Our stay q
Wild Cat was very short, We moving OIL
in the morning, and at night encampe'
within miles of our present Camp. II
the evening at 10 F. NJ. the "long rolf
sounded and in very short time the ~hoi'
force at the camp, which was about TOO
was drawn up in line Of battle awaiting tn
signal of attack. After waiting some hal
au hour the cause Of ala M was found to b
the firing Of rerOlrer By "a draken P'cke
aud we were permitted to retire.
Agaiu at 0 P. NJ. Of Monday Oct. 80
thu ''long roll" was heard aud In the twin
ling Of an eye, almost, we were hitcbed
and on our way to the Camp, where we no
are. An attack was feared but did nj
come. We are OH the Summit of hig
hill. called Rose Hill, and our cannon al
so posted as to commandthe road, the tow
and the adjacent hills. An earth breaS
work is thrown.up in front Of u.s., while II
fallen trees, form complete defense in Of
rear. There are now here 6 regiments
follows The 3Sth Ohio, which is OH Il
hill with us---the l4th aud lTth Ohio, q
93d Ind, the lst Tenn, and the Sd K.
regiments of Infantry. Standards al
Kennys Batteries each 6 riaed cannon, a
aportion of Wolford's Cavalry At mig
when the camp 6res are lighted and.
light in the tents are burning, the scene
beauti6al in the extreme. The Illusion II
q large city is beneath you is perfect
the bebolder holds this idea until mornl
breaks and dispells it. The rebels are
nearer MS than Cumberland Ford, which
distant from this place Al miles.
