Brig. Gen. E. B. Tyler, who commands the
first separate brigade Of the eighth army corps,
and who was reported to have been either
killed or captured in the action at Monocacy
Junction on Saturday last, was certainly very
fattering to that officer. Accompanying the
General were Capt. F. l. d. Webb and Lieut.
Goldsborough, OF his staff, both OF whom were
with the General since the battle. The facts
connected with his escape are substantially as

in making their escape on the north side, close.
ly pursued by the enemy, who fired upon them
repeatedly, killing one Of the Generals order
Iies-a German, whose name we could not as
certain. To this fact the General attributes
his escape, as, when the soldier fell from his
saddle in the road, the pursuers stopped to see
who it was, and TO inquire if Gen. Tyler was
not Of the party, etc. During this time the
GENERAL nau reached q clump Of woods, and

streets Of Frederick created the greatest snr
prise. The General left Frederick on Tuesday.
He came down the Frederick road as far as
Gainesville, and from thence to the Relay
House. On the road down they were informed
that very strong force Of Bradley Johnson's
cavalry command had crossed the road at Car.
rolls Manor, proceeding south General Tyler,
