Confederates gave up the unequal contest and
fell back six miles, the enemy not pursuing.
Our loss was heavy, supposed to have been
fifty killed. Some two hundred and over
were missing after the fight, but as parties Of
stragglers have been coming in since, the total
loss cannot be ascertained. The loss of the
enemy must have been very severe. as our
troops are reported to have fought with despe-
ration, as well as from the fact that the sne-
my failed to follow them.
Messrs. Powell & McGhee, who had prr-
chased for our government some 900 head Of
cattle, are reported to have got out with $50,
having lost some $40.
By way of Cumberland Gap we have re-
port that Col Clarks cavalry had possession
Of Mt. Sterling, where he had captured some
two hundred prisoners, and that Humphrey
Marshall had joined him ut that point.
It is said that Burnside, at the solicitation
Of Guthrie, has been started from Baltimore
with thirty Thousand Federal infantry and ten
thousand cavalry, for Lexington, Kentucky.

the fight on yesterday week, he having left
before II occurred.
On Thursday, the Oath March. Col. Scott,
with four companies Of his own regiment and
enc company Of Ashby's regiment, in oil be-
tween four and five hundred men, chased Gen.
Fry, in command Of four regiments Of infantry
and some Of Waolford's cavalry out Of DIM.
vile. completely routing them and capturing
Lieut. Col. Adams and other prisoners.
While Scott was pursuing the enemy through
the streets Of Dsuvilie, the Yankees shot Mrs.
Mitchell, the wife Of the President Of the
Branch Bank Of Kentucky. through the head,
killing her Instantly, and also female servant
who was standing behind her.
On the 18th, Scott took possession Of Har-
'rodshurg. capturing Federal Captain and
several priyates.
: On the 9th he ran Jacobs cavalry into
Lebanon.
On IL 18th he was in Houstonsville, Lin

Yesterday lot of some ten or twelve pri-
eoners mostly acknowledgements near
Big Greek Gap by Col. Palner's command,
were brought to this city. Among them was
negro, named John Edmonds, who claimed
~ be regularly commissioned Federal Lieu
tenant. He states that he started ont cook
in the 33d Indiana regiment, but on their re-
treat from Cumberland Gap, was left in the
Mountains. He subsequently joined Captain
Goodwin's company of bnshwhackers, in
which he was commissioned Lieutenant,
sleeping and messing with the white officers.
He boasts Of having killed three '.secesh"
with bis own hand. Theguard who escorted
him to Jail could scarce refrain from lynching
him at this ayowal, and only the doubt as to
whether he WAS compos snentis saved his black
hide. He processes ia. own $1,000 worth Of
property in Indiana. and says he could have
had q white wife there if he had wanted one;
and that his commission as Lieutenant is at
Captain Goodwin's house.
In addition to thu above, some thirty to for
