THE LATE BATTLE IN KENTUoKY.


THE LATE BATTLE IN Kentucky.
CIEOIEEATI, Jan. 2i.
This mornings papers contain full 80,
counts Of the battle Of Mill Springs. II
was fair, open fight. The rebels fought
well and were overcome only by the supe-
riOr fighting on our side.
According to rebel accounts their force
consisted of 10 infantry regiments, three
batteries, and some cavalry, altogether
about 10000 men. =1ts -F7~@
They fought in bushwhsoking style from
ravines and behind trees, bushes and rocks.
The brunt Of the battle devolved on the 4th
Kentucky, I'd Minnesota, 9th Ohio and 10th
Indiana. -..H-..
For nearly three hours the war of mus.
kerry was kept up. Shortly after IL o.
clock Col Hoskins succeeded in hsnking
the enemy on the extreme right, when the
9Th Ohio and ID Minnesota charged With
the bsyonet with triumphant yells, which
broke the rebel ranks and the rout began.
They fed pell nell to their camp, streWing
the roads with muskets, blankets, over
coats and knspsaeks, and abandoning two
guns and csissons.
Zolliooffer was shot through the heart by
Col. Fry Of the 4th Kentucky.
1t appears that ZolIicofer lost his vay
in the bushes, and suddenly emerged be-
fore Col. Fry, who was accompanied by
some staff officers. The two parties mis-.
topk each other for friends, and approached
within few yards of each other, when,
finding their mistake, both halted and pre-.
psred for hand to hand conflict.
One of Zollicofer's Aids shot at Col. Fry,
but only brought his horse down. The fed
eral Colonel Immediately drew his six shoot
er and brought Zollicoffer from his saddle at
the fsst FIRE. The rebel staff deserted their
chiefs body, which was taken to Somerset
the day after the battle. I'D I'D .
An east Tennnsseean, writing to the Com
mercial, says all the credit and honor Of this
battle is due to the 10th Ind, 9th Ohio, 4th
Ky. and I'd Min, for they did all the fight
ing single.hsnded, with the exception of what
support they received from the artillery
They all fought nobly and never waFeFed
from the fixed determination to gain the vic

The cOmbatants were so near each other

faces in the discharge of their pieces. The

PersonnI Appearance and Traits Of SeeFe-
tary Stanton,

The new Secretary Of War, Mr.. Stanton,
is stout, thiek-set man, about i've feet
eight inches high, and apparently about
forty years Of age. His head is set very
erect on his shoulders, If anything, little
thrown back. His faoe is round and solid
in expression, with blunt features. His
address is prompt and practical; his voice
full distinct and unmusiesl. He has never
studied the art Of pleasing, and has not
the gift Of paying compliments in CONVEX
sation. An exhibition Of his thoughtless-
ness In this regard was manifested on
Monday, when the officers Of the Army
called to ply their respects to him on his
induction into Office. An officer well
sprinkled with gray, but yet with quite 8
vigorous step and clear eye, was presented
to Mr.. Stanton. The latter recognized him
and shook him warmly by the hand, say
ing; II remember you we'll I saw you
many years ago, when you were in the
prime Of life, and was a little boy about
so high And the new Secretary meas.

remarks would have implied.
