10000 men. They fought IN bush-wLack-
ing style, from ravines and behind trees,
bushes, and rocks. The brunt of the bat
tie on the Federal side devolved on the
fourth Kentucky, second Minnesota, ninth
Ohio, and tenth Indiana.
For nearly three hours the roar of mus.
kerry was kept up. Shortly after II
o'clock, Col. Haskins succeeded in thanking
the enemy on the extreme right, when tn.
ninth Ohio and second Minnesota charged
with the bayonet with triumphant wells,
which broke the rebel ranks, and the rout
began. The enemy fed pell-mell to their
camp, strewing the road with muskets,
overcoats, blankets and knapsacks, and
abandoning guns and caissons.
Zollicofter was shot through the heart,
at tn: head of his staff, by Col. Fry, of the
fourth Kentucky. 1t appears Zollicoffer
lost his way in the bushes, and suddenly
emerged before Col. Fry, who was accom-
panied by some staff officers. The parties
mistook each other for friends, and ap-
preached within few yards of each other,
when, finding their mistake, both halted
and prepared far hand to hand conflict
One Of Zollicofier's aids shot at Col. Fry,
but only brought his horse down. The
Federal Colonel Immediately drew his six
shooter, and brought Zollicoffer from his
saddle at the first fire. The rebel staff de.
serted their chiefs body, which was taken
to Somerset the day after tho battle.
An East TenEesseean, writing to the
Commercial, says all the credit and honor
Of this battle are due to the Tenth Indiana,

er good or bad, and acknowledging
that they have received much better
treatment since their capture than they
had right to expect of us. They ex.
pected to be jeered at and insulted on
every side, and dreaded that more than

There are quite a number of mere
boys in some OF the regiments, and but
few men who are thirty years Of age

1t is difficult to convince these misled
men that the object of this war is not
tn free the slaves, or that President
Lincoln is not an AbolitiOnist. These
and similar absurd notions appear to
have been so deeply impressed upon
their minds by the lying politicians and
leaders " down thar" that they cannot
readily be persuaded that they have
been deceived. One Tennesseean told
us the reason why he enlisted was the
supposition that the Noriherners were
coming down there to free all their
slaves, and big pile of us went into

Some of them supposed that they
were fighting for the old Union, and
that the Northerners wanted to break
it up so as to abolish slavery-and they
hardly believe you when you tell them
that the Northerners are fighting to
preserve the Union, and that all that
President Lincoln or any of us ask, of
the South is that they shall respect the
Constitution, the laws, and the Gov
ernmental authority of the old Union of
Washington, Jefferson and Jackson,
under which We have lived aud pros
pered so long. Indeed, very few of
these men can tell us definitely what
they have been fighting for. Some of
them went into the rebel army " for the
fun of the thing" others because they
were forced into it, and not few be-
cause they supposed that they were
going to keep the Abo!iiionists from
invading the South for the purpose of
freeing their "niggers," plundering
their homes, and desolating their coun-
try.

No WAsHINGToN.-Afr friend of ours
tells the following story of himself !:
When he was young he had read the
well known story of George Washing
tons love of truth, and the fathers love
of the noble principle of his son, so
well manifested on the occasion refer
red to, of Georges emitting down the
cherry tree, acknowledging his trans
gression, and receiving full and free
pardon besides praises and kind caress-
es from his father. So Jim, actuated
by so noble an exaple, thought he
would try the experiment on. Hesup-
Piled himself with hatchet, and going
into his fathers orchard, cut down
some choice fruit trees. He then cool
ly sat down to await the old mans
coming, aud as soon AS he made his ap-
pearance, inarched up to him, with a
very.important air, and acknowledged
the deed, expecting the next thing on
the programme to be tears, benedictipn,
and embraces from the offended parent.
But sad to relate, instead Of this, the
old gentleman caught up hickory and
gave him an "all- fired lamming." Jim
was no Washington.
