is less than 100, and about 500 of cur men
are wounded. Though tho enemy had a
much larger force, four pieces Of cannon
more than our army, the selection of
fighting ground and every other adyan,
tage, yet all the trophies of the occasion
belong to the Union army
There were many doeds Of heroisu por>
formed on the battle field. While the
Fifth Ohio was charging against the enc
my, the color bearer was five times shot
down, vet another instantly replaced him
at the risk of his life. The last oolor-

The rebels carried no knapsaoks with
them into action, and all the rations in
their hayersacks was a small cake of Dread
to each man. They counted to a certain>
ty on capturing Winchester The only
wagons they brought with them were
provision wagons. This explains how it
was that they did not loso much besides
arms in their retreat.
The battle field after the struggle was a
sight to be seen and rememt cred. The
night was dark and cold. After the lat.
