Dear .Counir.n:—Wo linvo been in

movement events since I closed my

march was resumed at 10 a. m. of that
day. Four miles below tho Plains is a
passage through the mountains called
Thoroughfare Gap—the same that the
Manassas Gap Railroad passes through.
Some intimation had been received
that tho onemy were going to dispute
tho passage through (his defile, and it
was approached with caution. I he 9th
Ga. Regiment was deployed forward to
feel the way, followed by the 8th. Tho
passage through is about a mile long.
As our troops approached the enemy
opened with artillery, planted on hills
on the east side. Our Infantry moved
„n nearly through before encountering
anything excopt cannon shot. Tho
Rogiments ahead weto deployed up
to the left of tho road, and were ascen
ding the last high hill beforo getting to
the open fields on tho cost side of the
Gap, when tho Yankoes oponed a
tremendous volley ot' musketry upon
them. Tho advance, fell hack a little,
but wlion our reserve came up tho en.

Toombs’ Brigades were both engaged.
They (ought a Division of Federal*

twenty five seriously wounded. Of the
