sets and run them in as substitutes, paving
them $50 each. When at the Provost Marshals
office, these Indians created considerable mirth
among the officers by the odd answers they
gave in reply to inquiries propounded to them
during their examination. Some difficulty
was experienced by the examining Off car when
he asked them their age, height, and place of
enlistment, in order to make out their descrip.
tive lists, as they did not appear to understand
the questions put to them. They appeared to
be greatly pleased at the idea of creating so
m UGH mirth, and they laughed as heartily as
the bystanders. They were committed to For
rest Hall to be returned to their regiments

eral Sheridan still continued his advance on
various roads from Charlestown towards Ber-
ryville. At daylight Col Divine's brigade of
Averills division Of cavalry, now under the
command Of Lieut.. Col Nichols, of the 9th New
York, met with force Of the enemy, nine hun.
dred strong, Just beyond Berrvville, on the
Ashby Gap pike, and spirited skirmish, last
ing altogether some two hours, ensued. Our
loss was not over twenty, and the affair ended
with the retreat OF the enemy. Later in the day
our infantry advanced to Berryville, General
Crooks being in the advance.

night, and about five p. M. the One-hu ndred-
and-twenty third Ohio was advanced as a
third Ohio on Ashby Gap pike. They had
hardly been posted when they were attacked
in heavy force by the enemy, and forced back
upon the main force of Crook on the double

time to form his line for an engagement, but
exerting himself to the utmost he managed to
get his two divisions into line before the enemy
came up, the Second Division being formed
