The Fight at BarboursvilIe, Kentucky.
The Frankfort Commonwealth
publishes letter, giving an account
of this affair. Only twenty one
Union men were really engaged. They
defended the bridge for a time, killing
a considerable number OF the cnemy
by their sharp-3hooting. The enemy
at length hankcd them, when they
made their escape through a corn field
The Commonwcalth's letter says:
The number of the rebels killed was
about thirty, they suppose, and about
twelve mortally wounded. Col Rains,
tae commander OF the reb.l forces,
certainly killed one Captain Gnd one
Lieutenant; the privatcs are guessed
at. They drove a wagon down loaded
it with their dead, and the blood was
strown MI along the road, from the
wagon, formilcs. This is the best fight
Of the war.
When they took possession Of tho
town they destroyed a great amount
Of properly, anG last night they were
reveling upon the spoils Of victory, and
one hundred men cOnld have drove
them ont. HE. E.-I.
They say that next they will take
Goose Creak Salt Works; that they
are out of salt--this Col Bottles said
openly, after taking BarboursvlIc;
next they willtske London, and march
on and take Camp Robinson. Men,
women, negroes, are all fcein in tho
direction OF Camp Robinson. London
is almost evacuated. Mrs. Pearl was
the only whito woman who stayed in
London last night; she left to-day ior
Mrs, Bangh's. Our country is in great
confusion. Home guards are mastering
in great number all over the country;
if we Lad the ammuaition we would
whip them certain; VIC have LOST all
of help from Camp R,binson,. or
anywhere else; our situation is deplor.
able indeed, blt we have to abide our
fate; the, whole country is greatly
depressed, and one universal dere for
a conflict, and ii We ever get in fix,
and get chance, we will show the
the world that We can fight without
being drilled or disciplined.

The Death of Col. Johnson of Kansas.
The Leayenworth Republican, Of
the 19h, contains an account Of tho
skirmisl in which the gallant Col. II.
T. Johnson formerly of Ohio was
killed, We quote as follows.
From Adjatant S. B. Harrington,

we learn the details OF tue fight at
Morristown, Mo. The fight began
just before sunrise on Tuesday morn.
ing. The villains numbered four
hundred. Col. johnson rode at tho
head Of the column. The first shot
of TIE villains was directed at Col.
Johnson. H. rode gallantly and
fearlessly far into the ranks OF the en-,
emy, and nine shots took effect on tho
brave Kansas man we all knew, loved
aud honored. No similar instance Of
personal bravery has occurred since
the war began. l.r .. l.
Col. Johnson received throe bullet
wounds in the head, two buckshot in
the neck, one bullet in the left ehoul-
der, one in the left thigh, ono in tho
right hand, aud one in the left. His
death was almost instantaneous He
died urging Kansas men to fight for
the flag his own life was lost in de.
Tending.
The engagement was q brief and
complete Union victory. Our men
killed and captured all who did not
run too rapidly, and burned the vii
lain town. Six were wounded on our
side and two killed.
