FURTHER FROM RoNNEY
We learn from gentleman direct from Rom.
ney. that the fight took place near Mill Greek,
some four or fye miles from Romncy The
rebels were soon rcpuIsed, and General keIIcr
afler them at double quick. The only stand
Tic rebels made was near the Indian Mound
Cemetery and in the town. The enemy threw
shells but did no damage. Our troops then
made an entire rush at Them with such Vociler-
GUS yells, passing under their fire, that they
gave way. The rebel infantry now fed toward
Winchester and the cavalry toward Spring
Fl id, but were checked at the wire suspension
bridge 10y a detachment of Union troops dat
allied from Cumberland. They. tore up the
bridge TO prevent our. troops from crossing.
Gen, Kelley captured some four or five hun
dred prisoners, amongst whom is Col f. NJ.
Arms: rong, late member of the Richmond
Convention, two hundred horses, three wagons
loads of new rifles, three cannon, a large guam
lity of corn, tents, and in fact, everything
they had. The loss on our side was but one
munIzilled and five wounded. The loss Of the
enemy is not known, but must have been con-
Aidrable. The expedition has been truly sue
cessfuI. H'Aeeling Press -....r....-
