command consisted OF the 23d, 25th
and 44th, (CoI. Scott's) Virginia reg
iments, and Shumaker's and Rice's
batteries. Col. kust's command con-
sisted Of the, Sd Arkansas Regiment
and a battalion from the 5th Brigade
and Anderson's battery.
Col. Jackson's command consis-
ted Of the 35th Virginia Regiment,
with Hansbrough's battalion, with a
piece Of Anderson's battery under
Capt. Deshler, G.. S. a. and Lieut..
Massie.
Our pickets, under Col. Johnston,
offered a gallant resistance to the
overwhelming force Of the enemy.
Their troops, amounting to about
ten thousand, formed across the river
fiat and the hills on the right of the
road, and poured incessantly shot and
shell for four hours and quarter on
our forces. 1t was soon evident that
the shot from our batteries produced
Il telling effect on their men and
guns.
The infantry Of the enemy made
an effort to turn our left flank, but
was driven back by Col. Rust's com
,nand with considerable loss. They
then formed on the slope Of the hills,
wooded, and Immediately in front Of
the 4th regiment, and made an ct
fort to attack our front and center,
and turn our right flank, without sue
cess. Preparatory to making this
assault they marched to the meadow
aud opened a fire upon us with their
long-range muskets but we opened
upon them with such terrible effect
that they were thrown into great
confusion and could not be reformed
though their officers used every effort
to Get them to do so and to make
the assault, and being unable further
to stand our fire, left the field and fled
to the woods, leaving many OF their
dead upon the field, one stand Of
colors, amy quantity OF knapsacks,
&C., and many dead horses: All our
officers aald men behaved admirably.
The l1th regiment, (Col. Scott -
except Company \ and a portion OF
mcnt and under the command OF Ma
jor Jones, was directly in front OF
rle batteries Of the enemy, and stood
the blunt Of the constant and heavy
fire to which they We're subjected
without hinchin@, and with anxiety
to meet the enemy. Col. Scott, his
staff. Officer and men, behaved with
extraordinary coolncss and gallant
", as did Lieut.. Col. \ &. Talia-
tclTo, commanding the 23d regiment,
his officers and men. We predict for
Cols. Scott and Taliaterro Il brilliant
military career. Too much praise
cannot be awarded to CaptS. Sh,una-
kcr, Rice, DcslI!cr. Anderson. Lieut.
Wooding, Scr@ ant Jones and pri-
vafc Brooks, OF Capt. Rice's comra-
ny. Capt. Rice, while noblv en-
c"ura@in@ bis men, had his leg carri
ried away by a round shot. Our loss
was small, and that Of the enemy
was very great.

ten or twelve of Capt. Mabry's
"Dead Shots" and fifteen Of Capt.
Bryan's company. Capt. Russell
with this command proceeded to
Preston where he found about 100 or
l25 Missouri State troops. With
these he continued his march until
about O'Clock on the morning Of the
goth, when he called halt for all
hour. But to return to the camp.
At O'Clock we received orders to
be ready to march by IL that night
Now the busy hum began-some
cooking little bread to carry with
us, others looking to the guns and
munitions. At midnights' solemn
hour the shrill bugle awakened the
echoes in the silent hills. In IS
minutes 500 hardy Rangers We're in
their saddles. The column was
quickly formed. Many a heavy
heart remained. Those that were
left behind to guard the camp utter
ed mary a wicked curse. The line
Of march was through Carthage and
thence westward. What sublime
scene was then presented to the no
bic Rangers. The pale moon at me-
ridian hi ght mantled the earth with
silver light. All nature was hushed
in sweet repose. Nothing of the
worlds animation was to be seen.
No sounds were heard save the steady
tramp Of the warriors steed and the
rafting sound of the soldiers armor.
Not Il word was spoken. Imaglna-
ton pictured heroic deeds as strange
echoes died in the distant woods or
reviborated on the prairie cliffs. We
tiattered our hopes with the thought
Of being able to meet the Kansas
knaves in the open field with equal
numbers. Some of the boys had
their famous Bowie knives in fine
condition for a close engagement,
while others had the 'slasso'' ready
to catch the retreating Hessians u
they are wont to do the wild mustang
on our own lovely plains. The
:.Dead Shots and Union hunters
looked to their long ranging rifles
and toub!e-barrel muskcts and navy
sixrs. Col. Greer and 1t. Col. I.an,,
marched at the head Of the column.
The van guard was dimly seen III

As the sun rose cloud from the
