CORRESPONDENCE

LEBANON, KY, July Is, 1862.
DEAR PARENTS Our march from Cave
City to Albany was rough one, but since
that time we have had much rougher one.
We reached Albany on the 7th, planted QUE
tents, and got everything fixed up nicely.
Things moved on smoothly until the 9tb.
Upon that day, while at dinner, a cavalry.
man came riding in, his horse foaming with
sweat, and hurriedly dismounted at head
quarters. He was messenger bearing the
news that about two hundred and fifty men
of the 9th Pennsylvania cavalry, stationed
at Taylorsville, about thirty miles from US,
had been attacked that morning and cut all
to pieces by about two thousand mounted
rebels He also said that force was march
ing on us with seven pieces of cannon
This news soon few through the camp
causing great excitement, which was
heightened every few moments by other
soldiers coming in at full speed, rehearsing
the same tale.
There was hurrying to and fro at head
quarters as well as in camp. Soon it was
understood that we would retreat. The
bows were ordered to pack knapsaoks and
throw away every thing not needed; to
strike tents aud pile them ready for burn
ing But this last order was countermanded
and we left tents and cooking utensils upon
sLe field. This was our only chance as our
train land our team) had gone back to
Cave City for supplies. We did not know
what 10 do no team and impossible to get
one. After studying everything over it
was evident one of two things must be
done: divide our stores among our boys or
leave them, either for the rebel soldiers or
rebel citizens. We chose the former method
of disposing of our stock. We gave every
thing to the boys in the way of eatables
and tobacco, and what was left we bad put
in a house, whether we will get them or
not remains to be seen. Mr.. Beacon is now
after them. Major Brown of the 9th Penn
syIvauia cavalry pressed. au OK team
into service, in which he allowed
me to put my clothes with some few
things. He also gave me horse. Every
thing being fixed as well as vs. could, the
command was given to forward about five
O'clock. Then commenced our Erst retreat,

Law down to sleep, and slept sweetly.
Next morning, after faring as best we could,
we again started on our retreat, but we
had not gone far until we were ordered to
about face and fall back to good position
about a mile back, which we had passed.
This order was given on account of the en-
emy being so close in pursuit. The place
being reached, the the men were drawn up
in line of battle. Every muscle was con-
tracted and every eye was strained looking
for the approaching foe was upon the

The cyn.h,ana nattle.


We obtain from Capt. VIM. Glass, who
arrived in this city at o'clock yesterday
morning, the following narrative of the
fight at CYnthiana:
His force consisted of sixteen men, IL
pound cannon, caisson and ammunition, to-
pether with eight steam fire engine horses
from this city-four of these horses were
grays, and belonged to the No. 1 Engine
four were bays, and belonged to tie No. 5
Engine.
The train arrived at Oynthiana at two
O'Clock P. H., and the men were ordered by
Colonel Laudrum to go to Judge Perrin's
(seoesh) to dinner. After dinner Colonel L.
ordered them to hitch up, and started out to
show them the positions, though no battle
was expected at that time. They moved
out on what might be termed a scouting
expedition, crossing the Licking bridge on
the Georgetown pike. Colonel LaRdrum,
Captain Glass and Lieut. Moore were to-
gether. When they got about half mile
beyond the bridge onr pickets came riding
in in hot haste, crying out that Morgan
was coming in force to attack the town.
Col Landrum then ordered them to re-
turn; recrossing the bridge, the gun was
posted at the intersection of the Streets
about 600 yards from the bridge, COM
manding it, and the street intersecting Main
at that distance from the bridge.
AS Morgan afterwards told Glass, he COM
manded this division in person, with 400
men. As they made their appearance thro'
the bridge Captain g. opened on them with
grape. Morgan replied with brass howit-
zer, firing shell. The rebels were here held
in check about fifteen minutes.
Meantime, a second division of Morgan's
force made its appearance at the head of
Pike street, from an opposite direction.-
Wheeling his gun, he fred at them there,
Immediately afterwards opening on the first
division again. Pretty near the same time
they made their appearance upon the north,
coming down the hill into Main street, be-

GENERAL MATTERS.

Capt. Glass left Cynthiana about eight
o'clock on Saturday. He borrowed horse
from q Secesh, and drove him SO that he
gave out within four miles of Falmouth
lie walked the rest of the way, and found
several OF his men, who were reioiced to
see him alive, as he was reported dead. Tbs
10th Kentucky regiment had just arrived.
Glass took the return train.
The cannon once got double charge,
jackson, of the Newport company, who put
e second one in, supposing the FIRST had
been fired of. That double charge, it is
said, killed fourteen of Morgans men as
they issned from the bridge. Glass thinks
if his gun had been posted on the hillside,
he would have made the place too hot for
them. His gun was unsupported by in
fantry.
They were surprised by Morgan, as they
had no idea that he would be along so soon.
The Union men of Jynthiana, and, in
deed, of Harrison county, are said 10 be
desperate. They want the gueriIlas huug
whenever and wherever caught. But those
whose homes have been made deSJlate will
seek terrible retribution.
One of Glass men, men, Cranley, made
q narrow escape, as he was hastily placed
behind the kitchen door By the lady of the
house three of the Morgan men coming
in, and after washing themselves, took 8
towel from the door behind which Cranley
stood. After eating, they left the house.

COL. LANDRUA.

This officer stood by the artillery until
the firing ceased, and then he made his es-
cape, riding to Paris.
A parry of Morgan's men, after trying the
horses they stole, up and down the street,
got Capt. Glass cannon, and amused them
selves, giving that a trial by firing shells
from it over the town. The shells made so
horrid noise, that two or three hundred of
those not aware of the object of the firing,
hastily rushed together and rode madly
about for a few minutes, thinking they
were attacked.

MORGAN LEAVES FRIDRY-REoRUIrs.

Morgan left about o'clock Friday after
noon, taking the road to Paris. Considera-
BILE haste was shown, as if an attack was
feared. He took all the best horses be could
find, and left the jaded and worn out. He
took with him, Captain G. was told, about
sixty recruits.

THE UNION LADIES.

When Morgan's men overrun the town,
the Union ladies of Cynthiana secreted ard
took the st care of the Cincinnati men,
and all others who were in danger. Capt.
Glass is enthusiastic in their praise; and
from what he and others say of their kind
ness on that occasion, they are entitled to
the admiration of all true patriots and gall
liant soldiers.
