an excellent officer, was taken before hs could
reach his horse. Capt. Woodward fought
well til his horse was sho; under him and
fell, injuring the captain considerably, when
he was taken. His men Of Company ", it
is reported, scattered without showing much

(Haynes by name, I believe, twas shot through
his shoulder and back, but in spite Of bis
wounds, escaped latter enpting his revolver
upon the rebs) and rode nearly 20 miles be-

Some of the men were shceiug their horses
at a blacksmith shop. when the rebels ap-
peared and come we're in grist-mill near

man he ever saw that he could testify from
sexual knowledge, a. he witnessed one of his
men fall MORALLY wounded with ball from

This is very unfortunate affair, and deeply
notifying to the regiment. The forces On
