a heavy loss at the last battle, and as
they cannot get more men to fill the

The rebel officers can hardly be dis
tipguished from the privates. having no
conspicuous marks about their persons
whatever. They divest all our dead OF
their shoes and uniforms. but never
take any clothing that is Of gay colors,
or such as is worn by many OF our
Zouave regiments. 1t is currently re-
ported in the secesh army, that Lincoln
had sent commissioners to Richmond 10

mors as these are put ahoat to keep up
the spirits OF the men. who are hearth
ly sick of the war, and are daily wish

On last Monday, Mrs. Steiner heard
the rebel officers talking to the pickets
and instructing them to fall back in the
woods short distance, hoping to be
able to draw some Of our men over the
river. 1t was then the guard was re-
! moved from the house where she was
confined. As soon as the soldiers were
out Of sight, the poor woman, almost
/ frantic with Joy at the chance Of escape,
nestled her infant close to her bosom
and started at q full run to the river,
which was almost a mile from her
I prison.
She never stopped until she reached
the river side. when, fortunately, she
saw colored lad in a small boat. She
hailed him, and asked to be roWed to
the opposite shore. Without asking a
question, the little fellow replied. Jump

On Sunday last We paid visit 10
Camp Toland. on the South side Of Ka-
nawha, opposite Point Pleasant. We
had the pleasure Of Witnessing q grand
inspection and review of the Brigade
under command of Col. LIeHTBURs,
composed of the S4th, (Zousves) }. and
91st o. ", 4th and 18th Va. Vols, and
two sections of battery. 1t was a
sight worth going that distance to see.
The Zouaves and 9TH Va, being old
regiments and well drilled, moved with
great precision and skill. The 91st
o. and 18th Va, although newly form.
ed, and part of the 18th not yet equip.
ped, gave evidence that the material
for good soldiers was on hand. needing
only time and practice to make them
equal to their brethren Of the older
regiments.
Our Gallia county boys, under COM
msad of Capts. Niday and CABOT, in
the 9lst, performed their part nobly.-
Ofsuch soldiers we feel proud. The
time and labor we expended in aiding
the officers to recruit such men, we con.
slider well spent. The good order they
observed was worthy of all praise. 1t
is to be hoped they will continue to OBJ
serve it on all occasions. Gallia coun-
ty is honored in sending out such a
body Of men. We trust both oficsrs
and men win see to it, that she be moi
disgraced by any subsequent miscon.
duct on their part. War is as destruc.
tive Of morals as Of anything else. We
have palpable proof Of that, by a glance
at the camp lately occupied by the doth
Ohio, near Gallipohs. We look fol
better things from the e1st. Col. Tur.
ley is gentleman, and an honest man,
qualities in commanding officer which
always have due effect upon the sol.
diers.

EThere was no battle in Kentucky

~There was no battle in Kentucky
on Thursday. The reports yesterday
to that effect were incorrect. We have
some further particulars Of the battle
on Wednesday, which confirm previous
advices as to the desperate character Of
the engagement. The latest dispatch
places the Union loss at fifteen hundred
killed and wounded. The 10th. from
this city, was in the hottest of the SIGHT,
and suffered terribly, having two hun
dred and 6fty-eight in killed and
wounded. Gen. LYTLE, was at first
reported killed, but late accounts do
not confirm this. We are fearful, how
ever, that it will prove be was either
killed or wounded. Brave unto RASH
ness, he, with the daring soldiers Of
the Tenth, would be in the hottest Of
the fight. Gen. LYTLE would rush into
danger rather than take thought about
personal safety. He was too brave to
be even prudent. Other Ohio Regi-
ments engaged are reported BY our cor
respondent to have merited the highest
praise. In fact the troops, as a whole,
new and old, behaved splendidly.-
The rebels retreated on Wednesday
night toward Harrodsburg, but they
are said to have been bemmed in, the
Union forces occupying advantageous
positions. The army were in 6ne
spirits and confident of victory

thousand men in camp, and the "Zou-
aves" amongst them. The camp loca-
ted on the farm of secesh too well
known to admit of 8 doubt. On the
Ohio side of the river we find q
camp, in which are the 40th Ohio, 84th
Indiana and two companies Of Cavalry.
1t is simple justice to say Of the s4th d

for few days and no complaints have

of dollars poorer by the visit of the 4olh

is this difference found in the two

stating that Col. Lightburn commands
the first and Col. Creanor the second.

Here she was confined in an old
stone house, which was used as kind
of place Of meeting for rebel officers,
and was constantly guarded by eight
men. Upon being placed in these mis-
ersble quarters, she was politely in
formed that should she attempt to es-

weeks and half she was kept here,
without even bed to lie down on, and
obliged to subsist on the rations OF the

~A report has been in circulation
for some days past, that VIM. K. Hall,
John House, and Eliza Smith, three draft
ed citizens of Gallipolis, had crossed
the Ohio, delivered themselves up to
jenkins gang. and were by them pa
rolled not to serve during the war
This report is calculated TO work injus-
tice to innocent men. Messrs. Hall
and House went to Ceredo to purchase
quantity of apples, were taken pris-
oners and conveyed to Barboursville
where they were released on PAROLE
Mr.. Smith went to Guyandotte on a
visit to his sister. In few minutes af-
ter he entered the house, he too was
taken prisoner and paroled. He has
since returned home and procured q
substitute, and from q letter received
from MIR. Hall we learn, that he and
House will be at home as soon as pos.
sible.
Circumstances have cast suspicion
upon these men. Of design to evade
the draft. If true, the novelty Of it,
would do the originators credit, al.
though little respect might be paid to
their paroles. But We are inclined to
think ths-whole thing. purely theresult
Of accident. in which opinion the pub.
lie win concur, when these men either
in person or BY substitute comply with
the terms Of the draft.
