After the stage left this morning, heard
the particulars of the Wildcat light more
enthusiastically. The army courier left
Wildcat for Camp Dick Rp50sen, soon at
tCf the rebels were finally repulsed, and
before the list Of rebel casualties had been
ascertalned. IL appears that Capt. STAN
nerds uaio bat tory had sarrlsedaonty the

The rebels advanced to the attack, uusus-

shook them, and they gsstssel 10 confusion,

The field. When the courier left, our men

the Seventeenth Ohio, who sustained tue

Upon reflection am induced to srsgard
