pre- nediated on the part Of the Rebels. From th
fact that Gen. Mccall had only resolged at a lat
hour ON toe previous evening to make the attack Oh
the enemys cavalry in the morning, it was suppose
that no information could have been carried to th
enemy, but circumstances show concla siveiy tina
they were informed Of it.
The fact is also corroborated By one Of .bc prison
era, who stated that they marched from Centre
vile to Drsinsyille at quick and doublequck, under
orders to support Gen. Stewart. This indicates thai
the enemy received information, of the intended at
tack drring the night previous. The Same prisoner
stated taat four thousand men were marching down
from Le,sburgh for the purpose Of meeting Gen. Nc
Calls Brigade, and that the plan was to allow the
Union forces to pass Drainsvile, and for the force
there to assault the rear, while the force from Leos
burgh mads the attack in 'front.' This programme
failed by tie skirmshers of the 9th discovering the
Iickets of the enemy, and being fired on by them,
and that brought on An engagement prematursly.
Had the rebel plan succeeded the First and Second
Bngades, which Gen. Mccall had taken the preeau-
ton TO order on as reserve would have come up in
time to join in the battle, and the probability is that
sill larger number of the enemy would have been
destroy ed or captured.
Ore Of the prisoners taken was q member Of the
South Carolina Sixth Regiment, named Carothers.
lie was shot through the body just above the hips
with Mimic ball and MORALLY wounded. He was
remarkably handsome and the only one Of the rebels
killed or taken who looked like gentleman.
Three Of the prisoners were from the South Caeo-
Lima regiment, and were all badly wounded.
The rebels from Kentucky suffered most, and Capt.
Eastons battery appears to have been peculiarly fatal
to them. Several of them had their heads shot
away and one Yves cut in two in the middle.
The victory on the para of our troops Ii consid-
cred the more brilliant ne they had never before
been in any action. They have been highly compli
mented, both by Maj. Gen. Mcclellan and Gen. Nc
Gail.
-Four companies of tie let Pennsylvania Cavalry
were also with the brigade but the condition Of
the country was such, being thickly wooded, that
they could not render service to the extent they de-
sired.
Gen. Ord, while passing through the woods during
tie action, lost bis sword but was Immediately cup.
