fioint ihe road named, however, avoids

mall stream two miles toil her euM, finds a
gori.) de cent and crossing .u tin* river. On
dm field fieri Thomas halted on the even
ing es tlji I'Vth with the above regiments.
\\ bile this Toovement was being m:»de the
two brigades of General;, S< hor-pit, and Gar*
ter, encamped near Somerset, nml command
ed by Gonearl Sehoej.tf, bad nut been idle.
As early as tbe morning of th Isti, a..niuye
meiit, on the part of fniieiaf Schnepff xvas
t'ennii. Four regiments c.f Anfmitry, as
cnniiierafed bekw,. and Gaptuin Stewart’s
battery of flying artiUmy, h ft their camp at
Somerset, taking three days’ rations, and be*
gan the march for u point on Fishing creek,
live miles north ot entreneh
inciifs, ;iv<d cuti.-Trjucutlj near the mouth of
iho stream, TlVo regiments were’lift in
camp iu’ ft reserve, Goioncd VdunWveer in
command. 'The force under Gen. Schoepff
in the march to fishing creek consisted of
rim following: ILigpilnT< ien.Aivin Schooptf,
commanding- Seventh llcgiineut Kentucky
\ (ilnnteers; 'l’wellili llegimeni Kuitucky
\ olunfeers. Brigadier (leiierti! Garter, eom
mandlng—First Uegimeut Tennessee \’<«lun
teers; Second Ivegiment 'Tennessee A'olun
teers,
At the same time that this forward move
ment was made by Gen. Schoepff, reinforce
ments were forwarded from Sianodsbuvg,
and the reserve was strengthened by two
regiments left ;if Somerset arid a battery.—
This reserve then consisted of four regi
ments, under Gnl Yamlerveer, of t lie Thirty
fifth (>hio Hegimcnt.
she intention of Gen. Buell—who, in his
quarters at Ijonisvillo, appears to have plan
nod tin* whole a flair—was, that the two
forces <>t ‘i homas and Sehoepft’should attack
ZolHeofl’er in his intrenchmeiirs at tiie same
time. But, with a vigor oh design aud exe
cution worthy* of being exercised with more
success in a better c*au*-e, Gen. Zollieofter,
with a force of about men, marched
out on the. night of 1 Sth in-t , and, at an
early* hour on S’mulay, the 10th inst.., at
tacked Gen. Thomas’ t'nr**e in bis camp, at
the point i have described, and which is fa
miliarly known as Webb’s Gross Iliads, and
.situated ou \\ oil.tfreek. Although it can
not be said that Gen Thomas was taken by
surprise, it is not and. finitely .settled that lie
anticipated any attack. But, iu ik- close
proximity in which he was to Gen. Zollieof
ier, he torfle every precaution, and when, at
an early hour, and luf -re dawn of day, ids
piekols were driven l»y the advancing Dirce,
the main body was aroused and prepared to
receive the rebels.
The cannonading began about four o’clock
iii the morning, and the engagement became
general shortly aftei wards. Instead <*f suc
ccediug in hi de.-igu ol surprising General
Tht-iuas to liis ramp, General Zolliroffi-j
--found tin- wiiole iore*y fresh from a long
flight s rest, prepared to receive the weary
columns he had rapidly marched to tin* field.
In numbers lie was indeed -nperior. Ilis
force of cavalry and ho. artillery were ol su
perior numbers and character to our ouu;
hut tin* sequel shows that they weiV uni
. *. . *
managed with more tact and judgment. -
That the con fin t, on both sides was terrific,
is evinced by ihe casualties reported.
That. lit?" re riels fought gallantly tli«*i«* is
no reason to doubt, and the long conhnuance
of so tlesporatc u light evinces fully the ]»luek
and spirit of the troops etiinjmsiug i*.*iit ar
mies. Ihe sun did not deign to shine upon
the scene, and the clouds above threatened a
heav\ tain. Rut throughout tin* dismal Sab
bath morning, and until half of the afternoon
had passed away, did the conflict rage. It
f.atl C-dßilite-d With- lit ai;\ ?:i ? alt G ;.i!t aii
tage oil titlier side, and until witiiin hail an
hour of the conclusion of ihe battle tin* re
suit was doubtful. And it is not improbable
that it might have resulted less bottorahly
tor ourselves had not one of those chances
which so often iuflnence suck events di ekh4
it in our favor.
At about ten minutes past three o’clock
the Fourth Kentucky Regiment-, deploying
on the flank oi the rebels, by some means
approached the position assumed by the re
bel (icfleral eommauding, aud a shot from
the pistol cf Col. Fry is said to have inflict
ed the wound which resulted in the death of
Gen.Tal Zollicofter. Colonel iiaiie Peyton,
Jr v son of the ex-member of Congress from
Tennessee, had lx*en killed at an earlier hour.
I he death of their General, added to that of
their most prominent regimental officer, i‘rt*-

but if it serve no other purpose, it will abun

hazarded upon the deiieieney of our friends,
the historians. One o| the most elegant of
those, in his account, of the doings of the
infamous Gockburn on Mu* Chesapeake, and
the losses of tin* Virginians, says: “A con.

appalling face.” What is here generalized
—the simple taet stated—my brief relation
will illustrate. The authority is a. lady of
Warwick county, and 1 shall present "the
short story almost in her own words. It
was 3' follows:

stated that they were from Buckingham

As he came nearer, she was struck with his

iie scarcely seemed able to sit upon his horse.
He was deadly pale, and bent in the saddle,
as though he would at any moment fall to

checked his horse, and alighting with diffi
