Kirby Smiths BATTLES near Richmond,
Kentucky.


From the Knoxville Register, 3d
The following highly interesting letter Is from
a very worthy source, and is entitled to the
utmost credit:
Gen. Smith and staff mounted their horses at
seven O'clock Saturday morning, and moved to
the front some eight miles, to where our forces
arrived last night. just before reaching the
place the enemy attacked US, opening with arti.-
lery, and in about an hour the Infantry oIened
in less than an hour Wa drove them from thei-
position, with great slaughter on their side, we,
taking many prisoners. Oar loss quite heavy,
especially in officers. We moved on about two
miies beyond Rogersvile, at which place the
first fight occurred and found them again 10 po-
sition, when we made the attack, and the second
time drove them from their position with still
greater loss both in killed, wounded and miss
ing, with smaller loss on 0ur side. This second
fight occurred about two OF three o'clock, and
our troops having marched some eight miles,
and having no water except little taken from
the stagnant pools along the roed, and seeing
the enemy again preparing 20 receive US. we
halted cur men and gave them several h0UIs'
rest Everything being ready a short march
brought Us within sight of Richmond, where the
enemy made a third stand, when we moved on
and attacked them the third time After hard
fighting we routed them, and drove them through
fusion. In this last fight we did not lose many
men, but we captured from ,200 to 500 pris-
oners, besides their killed and wouDdod. After
we had whipped them in front and started them
running, Col -, with his command VINO
had been sent around on the Lexington road to
catch them, keeping his command in ambush
until theTetreatiug army came up, attacked them
and succeeded in capturing aud killing nearly
the whole army, taking all their guns and some
ten pieces Of artillery, with all their wagons
stores, etc. 1t is estimated that their killed.
wounded and missing will reach. soma 10000
while ours will not reach more thaIrfrom 300 to
500 killed and wounded. Their losssia killed
and wounded officers is very heavy. The troops
were from Ohio, Indiana and kentucky, and
commanded by Gen Bull Nelsou-Col Cassius
II. Clay commanded brigade Gen. Smith
commanded our troops, and by hard fighting and
the blessing of God, we destroyed their fine army.
1t was a grand sight to see our ilI-clad, and
sometimes barefooted troops, with ne food and
but little water, marching with a steady, front On
their splendidly equipped foe. It was one Of the
gTandest battles l ever saw.
1t filed our hearts with pride to see our men
move onward and never give way. Glory be to

The Black HOrsenlen OF the shennHdoab
Valley.

The New York Tribune says
Ihs " Black HoTssmen" of the COnfsderates
in Virginia have become celebrated for their
achievements, and have done more, perhaps, than
any other Confederate military orgsni zation, to
inspire our army with apprehension and the
enemy with confidence. Their history is not
devoid of interest Several years ago tho loed
ing shareholders Of Fauquie county, Virginia
organized political association, under the title
of '' Black Horsemen." The black horse was
regarded as a symbol of the negro race, and no
one WAS admitted to membership who was not a
slave owner. Wauenton was the place of meet
ing; and Ike the q" Knights of the Golden
Circle" passwords and signs were employed to
apprise the initiated of the presence of brethren
They were bound by the obligation Of mutual
aid in defense of their association, and Of South
ern Rights" generally. They controlled the
political matters of that section Of Virginia, aud
no person who did not subscribe to their consti
tuition and principles could be elected to Office
The raid of John Brown was the signal for
them to assume military character. They
appeared in force, and were found to represent
the whole district of country. They were brought
out to defend Harper's Ferry, and assist at the
execution of Brown and his eoadiutors. 1t was
the parading of these men around the scaffold of
the brave old man that caussd that barbarous
delaysof ten minutes after the adjustment Of the
rope ana cap, and the placing OF the victim on
the drop, prior to performing the last act of the
tragedy
Upon the opening of the war, the commander
of the Black Hor5emen" gave notice that he
intended to mako every attack on Sunday, and
invited all the people to unite in prayer on that
day for the success of the Confederate cause, so
that, perhaps, they might be invoking Heaven in
his behalf at the very time that he was charging
upon the Union army. The people of the Valley
are enthusiastic in their adherence 10 this organ
ization, and they cling to its symbol, the black
horse, or negro, with romantic devotion, as did
the Cameronians of Scotland two centuries ago
to the Solemn League and Covenant They are
perfectly fanatical in the matter. They detest
Northern men and adore the Confederate cause.
Perhaps nowhere, not even in South Carolina,
Mississippi or Arkansas, are the population 50
venomous in their treason and hatred Of the
American Uni0n.

From the Petersburg Express Of the 9Th insll
Captain James 7 Robiuett, Of Company E,
10th Virginia regiment, who was in the battle,
and wouneed IN the hand, arrived here yester-
day having left the scene of battle on Sunday
morning last. Captain Il. walked to Rapidan
station, a distance Of some sixty or seventy
miles blythe crcuitous route he was compelled
to take. ana suffered considerably from the
wound in his hand aud the swelling of his feet.
He states that the battle ragged with terrible fury
from two O'Clock Saturday afternoon until nine,
when darkness put an end to the conflict. Our
troops drove the enemy steadily before them,
but under the cover of night they succeeded ia
placing a considerable distance between them
selves and our forces Pope threw out picket
Of two brigsdes on Saturday night. These
were advanced np0n at an early hour Sunday
morning by our forces when the enemy fell
back, expecting to find Pope aud the main body
short distance in the rear to support them but
they were not there. During the night the
Yankees hsd given leg bail The two 6rigades
upon discovering that all support had been
Withdrawn, surrendered after bus very slight re-
sistance.
Captain Robines states that the loss Of life
was very heavy, but he could not form any idea
as TO the exact number on our side. That Of
the enemy was truly fnghtful the ground being
covered with their dead for miles.
Itwas reported Sunday morning before Capt.
R0binett leiG, that portion of the enemy were
refreshing toward Arlington Hights (supposed
to be POpe's commsnd) Mcclellan WAS endea-
voring to reach Occoqusn Oh the Potomac, and
Sigel, famous for his running powers, was max
ing good time toward Edwards Ferry, on the
upper Potomac. Our troops were in pursuit,
and hoped to o-overtaks the flying enemy, but
the result had not been ascertsined when our IN
fOTmant left. A large number Of prisoners,
many cannon and several thousand stand Of
small arms rel INTO our possession.
General Mahone's brigade did not reach the
battle ground until nine o'clock Saturday morn
ing, having marched all night. They were i'm
medstely assigned position, but worn ont with
fatigue, many sank to the ground, and slept
soundy until midday, when they were aroused
to prepare for action. They fought noby and
eYinced great perseverance and endurance.
Colonel Weisinger Of this city, was struck by
a musket ball. which FIRST Lit button of his
coat driving the button before it, and producing
a very severe if not dangerous wound.
General Ewell IS certainly dead, n0twith-
standing the many rumors circulated here yes
terday to the contrary. His leg was ampusated,
when an artery burst, and the gallant general
speedily bled to death. A telegram brings the
joyous tidings that General Ewell is improving.
Major JOhr P. May, of this city, was killed
about sunset Saturday. A ball struck him, going
through his heart. He fell and expired without
a struggle.
