After thorough reconnaissance, Nc
Clellan sent a detachment under Col
onel. now General Rosecrans. to make
circuit through the woods and attack
the position at Rich Mountain, while he
himself led his main body against Car

After a long and rapid march, eight
miles of which We're through dense
mountain forest and in dark night
with severe storm Of rain. Rosecrans
halted his troops next morning in view
of the enemy's pickets. The Federal
force numbered sixteen hundred men;
that of the secessionists, estimated at
two thousand, was strongly entrenched
ON the west side of the mountain, at it's
foot. They had feIled and 'rolled
whole trees from the mountain side and
tapped them together, filling in with
stones and earth from a trench out

interesting account of his personal ex-
perience in the battle. The enemy lost
hundred and fifty killed and about
three hundred wounded and captured.
The Federal loss was reported to have
been but eighteen killed and some thir-
ty-five wounded. The struggle lasted
only forty minutes, when the enemy

visions, artillery and ammunition, to

while Rosecrans was routing the en-
envy at Rich Mountain, General Nc
Clellan was advancing toward Beverly.
He arrived at night before the enemy's
fortified position at Laurel Hill, and
waited but for the break of morning to
plant his cannon on a commanding posi-
ton and begin his attack. The morning
came. and il was discovered that the en-
envy had fled. abandoning their strong
position. which was occupied by de-
tachment of troops under General Nor
ris while Mcclellan himself delayed not
a moment in pushing forward to Bever-
~ to prevent their retreat in that direc-
ton. The enemy thus headed off by the
prompt movement of Mcclellan. were
forced to countermarch and seek anoth-
er outlet of escape. They now fled
down the valley toward ST. George.
Mcclellan at once dispatched Captain
Benham. with a detachment from his
own force, to join General Morris and
the troops left in occupation of the en-
emys abandoned camp, and followed
the fugitives in rapid pursuit General
Mcclellan. in his report of the action
