Interesting Letter from an Indiana
Volunteer.

TluTToNvILLE. Va, July l4th, 1851.
DEAR FATHER AND MOTHER. IL am
away down in the middle of the monnt
ains--in the middle of Secessionism--and
the place where the Rebels are getting
whipped most awfully. We left Indian
apo.is the first OF July went 10 Parkers-
hurgh. Va, from there, on the Baltimore
d. Ohio, to Clarksburgh from there we
started.w our knapsacks on our backs,
for Buckhannon, small town about three
miles distant. Tie weather was very
warm aud pretty nearly used up some OF
the boys. 500 Of them gave out, and
feli back into the wagon train to take it
easy. Istuck to it,and went through all
right.
When we got TO Buchanan, we heard
of the Rebels being a; Rich Mountain, a
distance of % miles. We rested one
night, and pushed on for Rich Mountain
tho next day, and got there at a o'clock
p. M. 1t had been raining all day, and
we were somewhat tired. The fight was
going on up on the mountain. The cav
airy and artillery were all hitched up,
and ready to go at moments notice.
We could zee the smoke and hear the
roll of muskelry and cannon. We waited
few minutes for orders, but Gen. Nc.
Clellan concluded to let us rest little
while /; so We got our supper and laid
down TO sleep but 1 did not get much
rest. 1t was raining hard and our tents
were behind, so l laid down in my
blanket, and stuck my head into tin pail.
and thought l would get a little sleep
But, about 8 o'clock, they came and took
SO Of our men for picket guards. They
stationed us 20 PAGES apart up in the
mountain. We stood there all night. The
man that stood next 10 me got crack at
a Rebel, but did not get shot.
AS soon as We were relieved and had
our breakfast, VIC fell into line and started
for the mountain but we had no more
than started when we saw the boys com.
ing; they had won the battle. And then
such yell as we all set up, you never
heard. The Rebels were completely
cleaned out. We took all their wagons,
over 100 Horses and arms 100 prisoners;
killed 100 Of them took their flags and
everything they had. There were about
1000 or 5000 of them. They were
strongly entrenched on high hills, up in
the mountain overlooking the road. They
ought 10 have held out against $4,000
men. They had six piecs of cannon,
plenty OF muske;s, pistols and side arms
l saw one of their Bowie. knives that
weighed 8 or 6 lbs. They were whipped
by 2 Regiments Of IIdian& boys and one
Regiment Of Ohio boys. They retreated
in the night, and We started after them in
the morning but they scattered and went
through the mountains, so that we could
not get them. We came on as far as
Beverly. and then 600 of the skunks came
down and gave themselves up as prisoners.
They are the meanest looking set you ever
saw. What the Gen. will do with them.
i do not know.
I forgot to tell you that saw the graves
Of the Rebels. They were FILED into a
trench that they had dug expressly to
bury our boys. Little did they think they
were digging their own graves Most Of
them were from Georgia and South Car

olna. One Regiment was the best Regi.
ment Of Charleston, called the Hibernia
Blues you have probably heard Of them.
We started from Beverly Yesterday
came in sight Of some Rebel cavalry, but
could not get them. They had enlrenched
themselves up in Chea: Mountain, few
miles from here. This morning few
Regiments OF our troops wen; up TO fight
them. We are expecting to hear from
them every minute.
July l5M,-Our boys have got back
from Cheat Mountain. The devils had
all run, and are going as fast MS they can
for home. We could not follow them be-
cause Gen. McClellan's command only
extends TO these mountains. Gen. Butler
has the other side.
l have just heard from Rich Mountain.
They arc finding the bodies Of the enemy
every day in the bushes. There must
have been between 600 and 800 Of them
Killed, and great many wounded. We

THE large rhed cannon "Union" now at
Fortress Monroe, is to be mounted on the
deck of the Minnesota. 1t carries o $50
pound shot, and is supposed to be the most
destructive weapon ever mounted. Neither
its range or initial velocity is as great as
some other guns, yet the weight OF the shot
will be such as to sink any ship and ulti,
mately destroy almost any fertilization.
The projectiles for the gun have not yet
arrived.
