arms" was instantly sounded, and quite
a large number OF my brave soldiers
were again obliged to march to the
front, leaving their uncooked rations in
camp.
Still indomitable amid every trial,
they moved off by the right flank to
occupy the same position we had left
the night previous. As we passed, about
sunrise, across the pike and through
the gap in the fence just in front of
Dunkard Church, Gen. Lawton, who
had been wounded, was borne to the
rear upon litter, and the only Con-
federate troops left on that part of the
field were some 40 men who had rallied
round the gallant Harry Hays. rode
up to the latter, and, finding that his
soldiers had expended all their ammu-
milton, I suggested to him to retire, to
replenish his cartridge boxes, and re-
assemble his command.
The Terrific Fighting Mt the Dunkard
Church.
The following extract from the off,
cial report of Gen. Jackson will convey
an idea Of the bloody conflict in which
my two little brigades Were about to
engage:
Gen. Lawton, commanding division,
and Col. Walker, commanding brigade,
We're severely wounded. More than half
OF the brigades Of Lawton and Hays
were either killed or wounded, and more
than third of TrimbIe's, and all the
regimental commanders in those bri-
gades except two, were killed or
wounded. Trimmed in their ranks, and
exhausted of their ammunition, jack
sons Division and the brigades of Law
ton, Trimble and Hays retired to the
rear, and Hood, of Longstreet's COM
mand, again took the position from
which he had been before relieved"
Not far distant in our front were
drawn up. in close array, heavy columns
Of Federal infantry; not less than two
corps were in sight to oppose my small
command. numbering, approximately,
1000 effectives. However, with the
trusty Law on my right in the edge Of
the wood, and the gallant Col. Wofford
in command of the Texas Brigade on
the left, near the pike, we moved for
ward to the assault. Notwithstanding
the overwhelming odds of over 10 to
one against us, We drove the enemy
from the wood and cornfield back upon
his reserves, and forced him to abandon
his guns on our left. This most deadly
combat ragged till our last round of am
munition was expended. The 1st Tex.

thirds of its number; and whole ranks

commanding question, was, Union or
no Union, Government or no Govern

that Kentucky had no cause of COM

and no cause of quarrel with the Fed

continue to be loyal to the Constitu-
tion.. the Government and the Flag OF
the United States, and to refuse alli-

Another Union Majority.
On June 80 an election occurred for
Representatives to Congress- An extra
session, called by President Lincoln,
would meet July 4, whereas Kentucky
elected her Congressman in August The
result of this election was the return
OF nine Union men out of the 10 Rep
resentatives chosen, and all Of these by
greatly increased majorities over their
state Rights" opponents. There were
cast for the Union candidates 92,46O
votes TO 37.700 votes for the state
Rights" candidates; making clear
Union majority of 54,760.
BucLner's Shrewd Game.
Gen. S. B. Buckner tried to play the
same game on Gen. Geo. II. Mcclellan,
then in command OF the Department
OF the Ohio, that Gov. Claiborne Jack
son and Gen. Sterling Price had on
Gen. w. S. Harvey in Missouri That
is, that Mcclellan would keep his hands
off Kentucky, not seek to protect the
Union men, nor assert the Governments
authority, but leave the Secession State
Guards at perfect freedom to dragoon
the State into rebellion Buckner
thought he had succeeded, and made

service in position further to the right,
where nearly all the guns of the bat
talon were disabled. Upon the arrival
Of McLaws's Division, we marched to
the rear, renewed our supply of am
munition, and returned to our position
in the wood, near the church, which
ground we held till a late hour In the
afternoon, when we moved somewhat
further to the right and bivouacked for
the night. With the close of this bloody
day ceased the hardest-fought battle OF
the war.
