Engagement with the Rebel MOrSans
0rV.


Cavalry.
Louisville, March 81.
An authentic report, just received here,
states that portion of Gen. SANKEY'S forces
encountered John Morgan's cavalry at Nc.
M nnviIe, Tenn, yesterday, and whipped
them badly, driving them entirely away
Cincinnati, March o.
The Gazette has additional particulars of
the Milton battle.
Our forces were Commanded by Col. Hall,
Of the lO5th Ohio, who, finding that ne was
being attacked by superior numbers, fell back
to a commanding position, and sent courier
to Murfreesboro for reinforcements, promising
to hold his ground until they arrived.
Part of the rebel cavalry dismounted and
attacked our position with impetuoslty, but
were repulsed at every point.
Sect on first Of the Harris battery kept up
a brisk fire all this time.
The enemy, enra led at their reception,
massed three regiments and charged the bat
ttry with hideous yells.
The lst Missouri Regiment, who were lying
concealed behind the battery, waited until the
enemy were within thirty yards, when they
opened destructive fire, causing them to ire
oil, and finally to retreat in confusion from
the field, leaving their dead and wounded.
Col. Halls victory was complete before the
re,inforcements arrived
Among the rebels killed was one Colonel,
one Captain and three Lieutenants.
Our loss was seven killed and thirty
wounded.
The battle lasted about four hours.
