had two hours longer Of dayght the greater portion
Of the Rebel army would have been taken prisoners,
as they were surrounded on three sides, the only
mode of escaping being n narrow dehle IN tue
mountain, which the artillery would soon nave
made impossible.
Among the Rebel officers known TO be killed were
Gen. Garland of Leesburg, and COL Strong Of the

advanced to mountain pass six miles nearer flar-
per's Ferry, where he engaged the enemy, holding
that pass for about three hours, resulting in COM
plete rout Of the enemy and heavy loss. Our loss
in the action was about 80 killed and wounded.
