The Late Battle mt Milton.
GALLANT CONDUCT OF OUR SOL
DIERS.
The Rebels Forced to Retreat in Confusion.

CINCINNATI, March %.
The Gazette has additional particulars of
the Milton battle. Our forces were command
ed by Col. Hall of the 105th Ohio, who, finding
that he was being attacked by superior num-
bers, fell back to a commanding position and
sent courier to Murfreesboro' for reinforce
ments, promising to hold his ground until they
arrived. Part of the cavalry dismounted and
attacked our position with impetuosty, but
were repulsed at every point. Section first of
Harris battery kept up all this time most
effective fire. The enemy, enraged at its exc
cution, massed their regiments and charged
the battery with hideous yels. The LIST Mis-
souri, regiment, who were lying concealed be-
hind the battery, waited until the enemy were
within 30 yards when they opened destructive
fire, causing them TO recoil and finally to re-
treat in confusion from the field, leaving their
dead and wounded. Col. Halls victory was
complete before the reinforcements arrived.
Among the rebel killed was one Col, one Capt
aud three Lieuts. Our loss was seven killed
and 81 wounded. The battle lasted about four
hours.

We learn that the Coppsrheads rallied
in great force at Keosauqua on Saturday
last, expecting speech from Dean. There
were several hundred men there from Van

Missouri. Many Of them were well arm

badges with great ostentation.
When they learned that Dean had al.
ready been arrested in KeokuL, there
rage knew no bounds; loyal men were
utterly dismayed by the overwhelming
numbers and ths, armed array Of traitors
IN their midst. The howlinas of these
traitors were most horrible in the ears Of
loyal men, and few soldiers at home on
farlough were fairly swe-struck with this
