Col Mccormick with bis small force had been
surrounded and captured by the enemy. dis
patch received st Madison tie same morning
from the telegraph operator al Baldwin, stated
that thu enemy was then IN sight It that plsee.
No doubt Baldwin WAS occupied By the 1zE-
KEGS on Tuesday.
Our informant entertains doubts as 20 The
truth Of the CAPTURE Of Col MeC9rBiek's entire
force, though fhs dispatch which he ssw at
Madison Court House vas from perfectly Eeil-
aba gentleman who was with Col Mccormick
and had escaped from the enemy. It is prOba-
be that q portion at least 6f our forces e. Camp

Baldwin Is about forty miles from Lske City,
