and 14th Ohio Regiments under Col Lam
der of Wagon Road notorioty. Col. kei-
ley's division moved East by railroad to
Thornton and thence marched to Phillip
nj. 22 miles. The Indiana regiment
moved to Webster where they were joined
by the Ohio regiment and marched on
Phillippi II miles, both divisions toiled
along all night through darkness and
storm, soft earth yielding to their feet un-
til gray dawn found them in the neigh
borhood Of the enemy.
Col. Lander reports that he arrived
on the hill across the river below Phillip
nj and commanded the town before day
light. lie prepared to open upon the
rebels at the time, o'clock, and when
Col. Kelly was to attack them in tho
rear aud cut off their retreat. Col. Lam
derwas to assail them in front but Col. kel-
ly's division was behind owing to the ter
ribIc fatigue of the forced march, and be-
ing mised by guides. When the day began
to dawn Col. Lander's inpatient forces
discovered to them the camp below in
state of commotion and evidently in great
alarm and preparing for flight. Fearing
the rascals almost now in his grasp, should
escape without smelling powder, he ordered
the Artillery to begin the attack at i IL
O'Clock. 4 guns were unllmbcrcd and
dropped the first messages OF terror into
the rebel camp. Simultaneously with
the roar of the first gun, Col. Kelly and
command came in sight across the river
below the camp and rushed forward in its
! direction. In the meantime while the
batteries having got accurate range play
cd upon the camp with marked effect
Tearing through the tents and houses at
fearful rate, the enemy scattered like rats
from u burning barn after firing a random
vollcy which did 10 damage.
kclIy's command was close after them
and at tho same time Lander's force came
rushing down the hill, yelling like Indi-
ans. After chasing them Il few miles the
already exhausted men returned to tho
evacuated camp.
Col. Kelley, who with bravery amount
ing to rashnes5, was foremost from the
first and was rallying his menn the upper
part Of the town. the enemy having all
apparently fled, when he fell by shot
from concealed foe. The attempted as
sassin was an assistant Quarter Master,
named Lines,who was Immediately seized.
In the uncertain light Of the morning it
was impossible to tell about the loss OF
the enemy. \ great deal Of blood was
on the ground, and all along the road III
the direction OF their flight, hats, blan-
kets and coats and every description OF
luggage was scattered along over mile.
The rebels left behind them 40 horses,
all their provisions and camp equlpase'
many handsome uniforms and 100 rifles.
Not man Of our side was hurt except
Col. Kelley.
