(For the Chief)


RssH BorroH. Mo-, August IS, 1864.
EDIroR OF The. CnEy:-As there are many
contradictory reports in circulation relative to
the late engagement with bushwhackers in
Rush Bottom, and believing that your readers
would like to have true version of it, I have
obtained from an eyewitness and participant
in the action, q correct statement of the facts,
which shall endeavor to give you. ..
1t appears that some two weeks ago, the
Union men living in the vicinity of the Big
Lake, not liking the signs of the times, organ
lied themselves into an independent company,
under the command Of Capt. Bly,, brave and
energetic man. They went to work and dis
armed all men of dsubtfol loyalty in their
neighborhood, and established a regular patrol
for the protection of this part of the County.
There were some suspicious characters occa-
sionally seen lurking through the Bottom; and
on one occasion, Mr.. Christian Smith, quiet
and upright Union man, narrowly escaped be-
ing murdered by them; though nothing serious
occurred until the afternoon of Friday last,
when some strange fellows were discovered
crossing the Big Lake. The alarm was given,
BY sending out runners in every direction; so
that BY sun down, Capt. BLY, had the most of
his company together, and in good fighting
trim, and commenced thorough search. At
the house Of John Fitzwaters, they we're in
formed that two men bad been there and want
cd supper for fifteen men, (Which was refused
them,) and that they had just gene into the
corn-fsld. Capt. BLY, ordered his men to sur
round the isld, which they attempted to do,
but were fred on BY the bushwhackers. A few
rounds were exchanged in rapid succession.
when chatgs was made into the corn field,
and the bushmen completely routed, losing two
Of their men, one of them being severely
wounded in the shoulder-the balance making
thsff escape through the dark into the brush.
Our boys escaped without serious injury. Geo.
Smith was slightly wounded in the neck; Capt.
Bly, narrowly escaped, bullet passing through
his revolver scabbari. The two prisoners, on
being questioned, stated that they belonged TO
Quantrell's band, and that they had been with
out food for three days. They also stated that
there was full company in the Bottom. AZ
ter elieitisg some other information, not neess-
sary to make public, the prisoners we're escort
ed to desss willow thicket, and let loose.
Again. on Saturday night, q scouting party
came upon some fifteen or twenty men, sup
posed to Be bushwhacken, who, when fred on,
retreated into the thick brush, without showing
fight. Our boys deemed it prudent not to fol.
lew, but are making preparation for 9 thorough
search, which will ne doubt rid this locality Of
bushwhaekers. - q.
