has been fought in Pike County, Ken
tucky. between the Federal forces under
Gen. Nelson, and the rebels under Gen.
Wilson. A large force wss engaged on
both sides, and the rebels were roated
with great slaughter. The victory for
the Federals was complete. Over 400
rebels were killed and 900 taken pris-
oners. A large quantity of baggage
