Foid's 32d Ohio was sent forward to hold
an important road, the possessiono OF which
prevented the enemy from fanking onr

o'clock, their pickets retreating after firing
an Intellectual volley. rKimball's 14th In

cure a position for Loomis's battery. Am-
mens' deployed as skirmishers on the south
slope of the mountain. Loomis's battery
getting position, supported by tue 18th
Indiana, Lieut.. Col. Wilder commanding,
opened the battle! The SHOT was imtne-
diately responded to by a volley. from the
enemy concealed in bushes, who were soon
routed by the 18th Indiana, with a loss of
seven killed and large number wounded
and taken prisoners. =
Howe's battery, supported by the 18th
Indiana, then moved forward, taking n po-
sition 300 yards nearer the enemy's fortiti-
cations aud opening brisk fire. Daum
bringing forward two pieces, one was st'l-
toned near Howe, and likewise opened a
brisk fire. The firing on both sides was
almost incessant for one hour, our artillery
doing execution, Judging from the lament
able sbrieks of their wounded.
The enemy's battery did comparatively
little; the guns being too much elevated.
Our guns effectually silenced three of
theirs. While observations were being
made of the enemy's Notifications, occupy
ing three more hours, an irregular artillery
fire was kept up, occupying the enemys
attention. During this interval, the 25th
Ohio and 18th Indiana rendered effectual
service, scouting the mountains.
Before the close of the Reconnaissance,
which was most satisfactory; theenemy re-
ceived heavy reinforcements from their
camp near Monterey, making their strength
about $4,000. Although this reconnois-
ance psrtakes more of the character of a
regular engagement, than any previous
battle in Western yirginia, our loss is but
ten killed and eleven wounded. II is i'm
possible to assertion the enemy's loss. 1t
win not, however, fall short of five hum
drcd Killed and wounded, as our artillery
did terrible execution. Their camp was
situated on the slope of the mountain, sup
ported by n number of guns.
We captured thirteen prisoners from
Yirginin and Arkansas regiments; also a

again and sec the matter out. He says he
can stand as much fatigue and starvation
as anybody, and thinks upon the whole
that he rather likes soldering on his own
