We conversed last evening with Lieutenant Horny II.
Fckel. Of Mansfield, Ohio who i direct from Fremonts

enemy under General Jackson. Mr.. Fickel was heu-
tion time since and went home He returned 10 his
regiment short timo ago, and was with II during the
engagement, not as soldier but as civilian and rem.
dered service by assisting in carrying of and caring
for the wounded.
Our forces consisted Of nine regiments in ALL six under
Mlroy and three under Schenck, numbering not more
than seven thousand men Those under Eilroy were
tho Seventy fifth, SeveAtyth Thirty second and
Twenty fifth ohio, and the Second and Third Virginia.
Those under Schenck were the Eighty and Fifty

roys force had advanced from Monterey in the direction
Of staunton as far as Mcdowell two regiments ten miles

in, and it fell back to the other two. They
all fell back in good order to within mile and quarter
OF Mcdowell, where they made stand Skrmshng

main fight began The enemy were posted along the top
of mountain which terminated abruptly left.
Mroys forces were disposed in front OF the mountain,
some distance along. with the batteries elevated

Captain Hymens battery, in particular, did brilliant
execution, being about upon level with the enemy.
His shells all burst at the right time and in the right
place. each clearing space OF about thirty feet
the ranks Of the rebels. Our informant relates,
instance Of this oicers Skill that, seeing group of
rebel officers on an eminence, about two miles disant
he got their range and sent them shell, which killed
two out Of four Of them. This battery placed
height where it took twelve horses and hundred
to take up each gun The enemy fired nothing but
kerry apparently being unable TO get their guns the
top Of the mountain which they posted They,
however, rained perfect shower OF musket balls down
the side of the mountain but fortunately, Is nearly
always the case in firing down HILL fired too high
Our Informant who was engaged with others in bearing
the killed and wounded to the rear, says the balls
whistled around them like hail, and In dangerous
proximity.
About seven O'Clock in the evening Genera. schencks

the morning. The fight ragged furously, and lasted till
nine O'Clock at night Shortly after dark the Thrtyse-

and drove them from their position, but much to their
surprise found heavy force in reserve on the other side
Of the mountain. They fell back Of course Meanwhile
the enemy had around the bu termination of the
mountain and anked our force. The Twenty fifth Ohio
was posted the left, and the weight OF this
flank movement fell upon them. They fought CALAMITY
and were considerably cut up. Their ammunition gave
out and they stood upon the ed and waited like heroes
till fresh supply was brought them. Upon the dis
covery that the enemy greatly superior in num-
bers, our force fell back in good order about nine
o'clock having given the rebels at least Roland for
their Oliver. Our loss amounted thirty seven killed
and two hundred and twenty five wounded That OF the
enemy was believed to be much larger, from the fact
that firing up hl more accurate in their
aim, and account Of the terrible execution of the
shells thrown from batteries. Deserters who came
in after the fight declared that their loss 400 killed.

While the battle was going a couple OF companies

baggage and provisions and who had orders fall back

After tho fight forces fell back to Franklin, the
capital OF Pendcton county and day this side The

three days skrmishng-our batteries playing on them
with shell and keeping them back in spite of their supe
rior force. They up and occupied deserted
camp at one time, but well posted battery made
that TOO hot for them and they "fel back" In this
skirmishing three Of our pckets killed, and we
killed six Of their men in return.
Heavy renforccmsnts from Fremont had arrived be-

One regiment had been four miles beyond Franklin and
reported enemy in sight. The force directly front
Of ours is reported at from IL 900 TO 20 900.
Banks whole force had fallen back Strasburg but
this movement as well AS the movement Of Fremont Is
believed to be strategic and in corporation with the
movements OF Mcclellan and Burnside II seems to US
that 40 900 ahead is pretty heavy consideration
and might have had good deal to do with the strategy
the part Of Frsmonts command.
Lieutenant Fickel speaks OF the Virginia regiments
engaged in the fght-the Second and Third, under Colo
nss Moss and Hewes-in terms Of tho highest admira
ton Ho says they fought calamity and that there were
no better regiments in the fght though all the regiments
acted pobly throughout.
