Mount Vernon, Ky., Aug, 22d 1802.
• Col. J. S. Scott, Commanding E. Kirby
Smith’s Brigado of Cavalry.
Sir : I liave the honor to report that
ngroonblo to your order of tho "19th
inst., I moved six companies of my
command, togothcr with four compa
nies of yours, to Mount Vernon, dri
ving the enemy before me, forcing
thorn to loavo their wagons and mutes
behind, without tho flro of a gun, ex
cept an occasional tiro by tho bush
whackers from tho mountain-top. On
the morning of tho 28th inst., 1 mado a
charge in tho town and took possession
of tho place, together with some fifty
or sixty prisoners, without tho loss of a
man, the enemy not firing but’three or
jour times. 1 liavo taken about ono
.hundred and thirty-seven wagons,
mostly loaded with commissary stores
and corn. Also 335 mules and horses
■ with hurncss Ac. 1 cannot conclude
without remarking that notwithstand
ing tlio^groat.iuclomcnoy of tho weather,
much, praiso is duo to officers and men
for their soldier like conduct—without'
food for two days, enduring the hard
ships, incident to a continuous march,
they exhibited that forljtudo and chiv
alry which only visits noblo hearts in a
just cause.
Yours llespectfully,
J. J. M0RRISON.
Col. Comm’d’g 1st. Ga. Cnvnlry.
Hearing mow that tho enemy was
approaching Loudon on the London
and Richmond road, wo loft Mount
Vernon about tho 23d of August, and
foil into - tho Richmond and London
road tho snmo day. Wo traversed but a
few miles toward Richmoud, boforo our
• advanco guard was fired on by the ad
vance of the enemy. Our guard, how
ever, soon- mado him take cover uador
tho long range guns of tlioir cavalry
and infantry, then in line of bnttlo at a
strong position known "as Big llill.—
Our Regiment, with tho exception of
■ Cnpt. Strickland’s company, was soon
dismounted to turn their left, ns it was
impossible to do it mounted. Our Reg
iraent had nearly gained their left
flank, when thoy discerned us and
commenced a precipitate rotroal. At
this junotuao Col. Scott ordorod a charge
by his-Rogimont, including Cnpt. Strick
land’s company of our Regiment, who
headed tho advancing column. Now
nothing but confusion-fiUod the b Yan
kee ranks; guns, sabres, blankets,
knapsackB, Ac., and even tbo pavnlry
left their horses in lino of battlo and
fled promiscuously on foot—coming to
us afterwards and surrendering them,
selves. We mounted our horses and
followod in pursuit. About a milo be.
yond tho foot of the Hill we Jagain met
with a portion of tlioir cavalry (Colonel
Metcalf) and about three liundrod in
fantry, who had • blockaded tho road
with some wagons ovorlurnod on a
bridge spanning a deep ditch,; a charge
was nocessary to dislodge them, for
thoy onsconsed themselves behind
those wagons. Capt. Strickland arid
Lieut. Crabb, under Major Harper,
charged their front, while Col. Morri
son, with the remainder of the Regi
ment, charged them on tho loft. They
poured a galling fire into Col. Harper,
(then Maj. Harper) as he came; lie re
turned the fire rapidly and ropoatedly
causing thorn again to try their speed’
and,thus thwarting Col. Morrison in
taking thorn all prisoners. However,
we parolgd about throo hundred of
them that evening. Capt. Strickland
had' ono man .killed, ono mortally
wounded and seven others variously
wounded. Ho then dismounted and
took charge of his waundod men, arid
2d Lieut. Taylor took cliargo of tho
company, and followed in gallant pur
suit of tho enemy. Lieut. Crabb de
serves great credit for his conduct on
this occasion, and will, I think,' always
in a charge bear himself a: ho does in
every day life, proudly and gentleman
ly. ’Tis useless to speak of Cols. Mor
rison and Harper, they are always in
the thickest of the fight. Wbero the
bullets whiz tho thickest and tho clash
of arms and the yell of battle sounds
the loudest, there they may bo found
with their impetuous followers bearing
down all before them. We followed up
the enemy to Richmond and went two
milos in tho rear ol the town the same
evening, but finding thoy had received
heavy reinforcements, we fell back to
Col. Scott’s position, which was at Big
Mill.
We remained in this neighborhood
until Gen. Clnibotiruc, the advance of
Gen. Smith, came up, when wo again
took the road for Richmond’, some skir
mishing took place on the rood, but
nothing serious occurred, until tho
morning of tho 30lh August, when
Gen. Smith took rip hit line of march
toward Richmond.
1 must say something of tho part wo
took in this affair. Col. Morrison was
ordered, on tho morning of tho 30th of
August, to take tho advance of tho
Kirby Smith Brigndo to tho rear of
Richmond. Wo reachod tho pike
leading to Lexington about four miles
from Richmond. Col. Morrison, at tho
head of his Regiment, entered tho pike
just in front of the advanco of Gonoral
Kphon's retreating column, numbering
about sovon thousand. He fired into
them so furiously, that tho Yankees
throw down most of their arms, and
fled belter skelter, in the utmost fright
Thinking that most of the enemy had
gone toward Lexington, Col. M. sent
Col. HnrporJWlth a portion of his Rog-
ment, down thopiko until Col. Ilarpor
found tlmt they had not proceeded far
ther than where wo first entered tho
piko. Col. Morrison camo up about
this lime, tho enemy having out run
him, and ordered tho Regiment to bo
formed in lino of buttle, in a corn
field on tho loft of tho pike. It was
not long before the column of General
Nelson, preceded by two regiments of
cavalry and his nrliilcry, (two fine Pur-
rott guns and four brass eight pound
ers) enme thundering down tho piko
toward Lexington. When tlioir column
got opposite us, Col. Morrison, at tho
right and in front of his Regiment-, or
dered a charge; tho men responded-
dashing up to the piko and pouring a
galling tiro into the retreating foo*
then they stood undaunted, and volley
after volley they poured into tho ranks
of the terrified enemy. Horso and
rider rolled togothcr in the dust, the
groans of tho wounded and dying min
gling in horrid discord with tho clash
of arms, tho roar of coming artillery
and tbo wild neigh cf wounded nnd
frightened horses. Tho enemy was
completely and thoroughly checked.
All of their artillery fell- into our hands
besides neur throe thousand of tho
men, with guns and nil other equi
page.
Col. Morrison deserves the greatest
credit, for Gen. Smith, ns Gen. Clai-
bourr.c remarked to me, Would have
secured none of tho results scarcely of
the victory, for lmd it not been for the
cavalry, tho enemy would have snvod
his artillery, his wagon train, and 5,000
prisoners. Colonel Hnrpor displayed a
largo share of his usual gallant conduct,
nnd no office,- of his grndo is moro
moro highly appreciated by Gen. Smith
than ho is. , Lieut. Crabb deserves
again to be mentioned. After the first
gun had been captured, he sprang to it,
intending to load it, ho called nio to
his assistance, nnd wo succeeded in
loading tho piece and brouglitit tobaar
on tho enemy. But upon, examination
found that the Yankee gunners hud
thrown nwny tlioir friction tubes, nnd
tho piece could not be used.
For fear some ono mny think that I
hnvo colored too highly, 1 will hero
introduce . Colonel Morrison’s official'
report:
Lexi.nqton, Ky., August 31st, 1802.
Col. Scott: According to your or-
drir of tho 30th inst., I took the ad
vance of the brigade, in your movo in
tho roar of Richmond, to cut off the
ctreat of tho enemy, who wus then
fast fulling back under tho heavy' tiro
of Gen. E. Kilby Smith's -forces. I
throw two"of my Companies, viz Capts.
Strickland and llnynie, in tho right
and left, 1 ns flankers to prevent an am
buscade, and at the same time protect
my flanks. After arriving in about
two miles of tho piko, 1 found that tho
wagou train had passed the place, I
anticipated striking tho piko. Not
having time to call in my" flanking
companies. I moved forward at full
speed, with the six remaining compa
nies, now greatly reduced, numbering
only about one hundred and fifty men
Arriving at the pike just ahead of the
infantry force of Gen. Nelson, num'
boring about seven thousand, I imme
diately fired upon them, throwing
jhem into utter confusion. So com
pletcly were thoy bewildered and aston
islicd, that thoy were preparing to sur
render, throwing their arms down, thoy
fled, precipitately in overy direction,
divided my force, giving my Adjutant
(Lieut Touch,) sonio fifty mon. Ho
made; a gallant charge on a rog’t of in
fautry, on the right of tho pike, taking
them all prisoners. In tho meantime
the remainder of the force was led gal
lantly on by Lieut. Col. Harper, up tho
piko towards Lexington, taking every
thing before him, turning ovor tho wqg-
ons Ac.
I understood shortly afterwards ti)nt
Gen. Nelson’s Cavalry was advancing
to make a charge on me, nnd try and
make their escape that way, having
made a previous attempt to escape on
tlio left of tho pike, loading to ' Frank,
fort, but now repulsed by tho 1st Louis
iana and tho 3d Tennessee Rcg’ts.—
I therefore ambuscaded my men in a of two Regiments ol Cavalry nnd eight
cornfield, on tho left of tho pike. As Regiments of Infantry, and six pieces
soon ns I had completed my arrange- of Artillery, they made a chnrgo witn
monls their cavalry moved forward at' their cavalry, but I repulsed them and
full speed, two regiments followed by
their urtillery. As soon ns they lmd
readied nearly tho full length of my
lino I ordered a chnrgo on horseback,
tho men moved promptly forward nnd j
square up to tho fence, when, tho awful I
sluughtor commenced, tho men stood
•un them back until they opened with
their heavy artillery, when I felt back
a short distnneo in' good order. Your
Regiment coming to reinforce nut at
that timo with throo pieces of Artillery.
Planted tho artillery iii tho road throw
ing tho two regiments on cnch side of
firm nnd square to tlio fence, loading tho road rather in front of the Artillo-
und firing very rapidly, each mail, load
ing and firing iiis gun threo or four
times, besides firing their pistols,
Tho slaughter was awful, killing and
wounding some throo liundrod, killing
dead on tho field somo sevonty or eigh
ty. Among thorn Col. Wolfe of tho
13th Indiana lieg’t, and several enpts.
and licuts., and taking a great many
prisoners—amounting in all to nearly
three thousand, together with six pieces
of artillery. (The road was literally
strewn with tlio dead and dying horses
nnd men. Artillery wagons, caisons
Ac. Tho road was so completely block
aded that I lmd to liavo it cleared be

Uaynio in the meantime fell into tlio
hands of a regiment of Yankees, who
mado him a prisoner, but ho did not
remain a prisoner long before ho
frightened them so that ho persuaded
them that they wero Ids prisoners nnd
they actually surrendered to him—his

thirly-fivo nun. Botli officers and

their coolness nnd bravery. Never in

exhibited by cither men or oilicers to

Sir: 1 have the honor to report that
in accordance with your order of tho
14th inst., to inovo foiward with my
command, aud Col. Slams’ Regiment
und destroy if possible Bacon Creek
bridge, on tho Louisville aud Nashville
Railroad. Supposing there was ft heavy
force and knowing that they wero well
fortified, 1 moved up very enutiouely
nnd arrived at sun set in a short dis
tance of tho place. After making rc-
connoisauce, 1 was satisfied it could not
he tnken on horses. 1 therefore order
ed tho two rcgjmoDts to dismount and
prcimro for tlio fight, presuming there
was at least an equal force in tho fort,
neur tlio bridge. I had the artillery
placed in position. After arranging
the plan of attack, I sent Lieut. Col.
Harper with a flag of truco to demand
unconditional surrender of the
place, which was done. I'found twrtve
cars which I burnt on the bridge—also
somo few commissary stores, togeth-
or with several boxes of ammunition
and arms. All of which 1 was com
pelled to destroy, having no means of
taking them with me. 1 must say
conclusion that officers and men exhib
ited tlio qualities of truo soldiers on tho
trip, and were much disappointed when
the garrison surrendered without
light.

my pickets ivciedriven back. Hearing
tho firing, I went forward with an addi

ing several. They afterwards sent l'orr

near night and finding out that they
bad boon reinforced by a Brigade of in

moving my whole command one milo
back on the road after night-, leaving
my camp fires burning, fearing an at
tack during tlio night with their entiro
force. 1 placed myself in a position of
as much defence as possible. Tho ene
my did not attack us during tho night,
but fell back to Middletown. I moved

Having mndo several unsuccessful uf.
forts to engngo tlioir Cavalry, but they
evaded an attack by retreating. I do
terminod to force an engagement re

ono of my companies forward under
Capt. Reynolds, of tlio 1st Ga. Cnvaliy
with instructions to form in line of but-
tlo across the road, keeping himself ns
much concealed ns possible nnd not. to
fire until tlio enemy advanced within

denvoring to induce tho enemy to ad"
auce. In the meantime 1 had station
ed two plnttoons of the 1st Louisiana

tlio left under command cf Major
Strickland, of tlio 1st Gu. Cavalry, with
instructions that if tho euemy pursued
Cupt Reynolds, that they wero to full
in tho rear und prevent tlio falling back
of tho enemy. AVhilo Lieut. Colonel
Harper, of tlio 1st Ga. Cavalry, was to
attack them in front. Tho enemy did
advance, wheel Capt, Reynolds with
his company followed out his instruc
tions, fired on thorn nnd foil back. Tho
infantry having advanced so rapidly
on tho right, Maj. Strickland had to
full back from bis position and join
Lieut. Col. llarper in tho rear. I sue.
ceeded, however, with two companies
of the Louisiana Cavulry, commanded
by'Licut. Col. Davis, in cutting oft’ tho

pletely demolishing it.
Lieut. Col. Harper mado a gallant
charge up tho road, and together with
the flankers, drove back tho onemy .in
confusion, killing and wounding fifty
or sixty, killing according to the ene
my’s account, somo 202 men, together
Severn 1 prisoners, completely demorali
zing tho whole cavalry force, and drove
them back through the linos of tho in
fantry. I confidently believe if it had
not hnve been for tlio enemy’s artillery,
which consisted of six pioces, which
opened a heavy firo upon mo, I would
liave captured the entire force. I was
compelled to fall baok.
1 am proud to say Hint, although
exposed to a heavy firo from tho ene
mies artillery, my officers and men
were never moro cool, falling back
slowly nnd in good order, on the left
of the pike towards Ilurdinsville, when
.1 joined you. My loss in killed and
wounded was twenty-six. I think it
duo the whole command to say they
acted most gallantly, allowing addition
al proof of their valor and heroism.

Death of Gcu. Villcpiguc.
Wo received with sadness nnd sorrow
the tidings of the death of Brig. Gen.
Villepi^uo, ono of tlio most gallunt, en
ergetic and efficient of our young Gene
rals.
lie was born in Camden, S. C., nnd
after a preliminary education in the
academy of that town, entered West
Foint in 1850. Iu 1854, in due course,
lie was brevetted'Scoond Lieutenant in
tho ftocond Dragoons, a regiment whioh
gave us some of our best officers.' IIo
was promoted First Lieutenant in May
1857,\dri'd soon after Captain, in which
position ho was discharging' arduous
and resposible duties in the fur West,
when ho received the news of tho se
cession of South Carolina. His position
nnd the difficulties of communication
prevented his prompt report for duty.
Iiis resignation was immediately ten-
dered, and as soon as possible lie star
ted on his way homo. Meanwhile,
confident anticipation of his course;
and in ft thorough appreciation of his
character nnd qualifications, a commis
sion hud beeriissuod for him 'in tlio pro
visional army of the State.
Before reaching his homo, we believe,
and before receiving information even
of tho flattering appointment of Iiis
native State, lie was appointed a Colo
nel in the army- of tho Confederacy,
and reported for duty nl Pensacola.
At every occasion nnd opportunity lie
distinguished himself so well that his
appointment as Brig. Gen. soon follow
ed and gave general satisfaction.
He nobly justified this promotion,
and took part in several actions which
will bo prominently reoordod in the
military records of the South.— C/taa.
