A TERRIBLE NIGHT--FRoM THE NORTH-wEsT-
COLONEL GILHAM's COMMAND.
The Richmond Dispatch of the 10th inst.
contains the following;
We stated yesterday that an unpleasant
rumor from Colonel Gilhsms Regiment, in
Northwestern Virginia was not credited by
the authorities in this city. We have since
received statement of the facts, gathered
! from a private letter written by Quarter
master ]. R. Mountcastle, of Company F, and
deem it our duty to lay it before the public.
The letter is dated Camp on Elk Mountain,
| Oct. 3. Six days previous to that time, when
the regiment was encamped on Middle Noun
| tain, lin the western part of Pocahontas
| County, near the Randolph line,) an order
to retreat was issued, though from what
cause is not definitely stated. 1t was ter
rible night when this order was given, the
| rain pouring in torrents, and the darkness
almost impenetrable yet the tents were
struck, the wagons loaded, and the regiment
was ready to march at daybreak. After pro-
ceeding three miles, the troops were brought
to halt by the high waters of Elk River,
which rendered fording impossible. AT this
place, we regret to say, it was found neces-
ssry to burn the wagons, tents, baggage,
provisions and other articles, which involved
The regiment struggled forward, marching
through mud knee deep, suffering many
hardships and finally succeeded in reaching
Elk Mountain. The troops had only scanty
supply OF food, and the letter mentions that
company had just come in from three
days picket duty, on short rations. They
were nearly broken down with fatigue and
hunger. We could not conscieD tiousIy with
hold this intelligence, for knowledge of the
e. ha cd
tion of measures for the relief of the regi
ment. f.r
