rcle. This is always prepared for, morning, noon, and night, as it is a matter of course that soldiers will be brought in just at the right time, and so cordially received that they feel that they have a perfect right to come again when it is convenient to them. A regiment or two have been sent to protect the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal near Honeywood. Affairs in the army are very quiet. I hope that the calm does not portend a storm; I pray that it may be averted. The Briars. , December 18, 1861. Sadly negligent of my diary lately. Nothing new has occurred. We pleasantly pursue the even tenor of our way, but are now preparing to go to my brother's, in Hanover, next week. We have been to Mountain view for a couple of days, on a farewell visit to the family. The Bishop has sent his study-carpet to the camp, along with every thing he could possibly spare, for the soldiers' comfort. He looks cheerfully upon our prospects, and is now listening to Motley's Dutch Republic wit

he river, where they were attacked, Dec. 17. at Rowlett Station, by a regiment of mounted Texas Rangers, under Colonel Terry, supported by two regiments of infantry and a battery of six guns. The Nationals, though greatly outnumbered, and attacked chiefly by cavalry and artillery, repulsed the assailants with ball and bayonet, killing Terry and thirty-two others, wounding about fifty, and losing eight killed and ten wounded themselves. Report of General Buell to General McClellan, December 18, 1861. General Hindman, in his report on the 19th, said General Terry and three of his regiment were killed, three others slightly wounded, and only six missing. As they left a much larger number dead on the field, Hindman's report must have been incorrect. In this work they were aided by a battery on the north side of the river. Seeing re-enforcements crossing, the Confederates withdrew toward Bowling Green, slowly followed by the Nationals. Thomas C. Hindman in 1858. In the mean ti

Doc. 230. secret history of the rebellion. see page 251, documents, ante. Letter from ex-gov. Thomas, of Maryland. House of Representatives, Wednesday, Dec. 18, 1861. To the Editors of the Baltimore Clipper: gentlemen: A friend to-day directed my attention to an article in which there are some errors, which I beg permission to correct. Gov. Pickens, of South Carolina, at the meeting of Southern members of Congress, held in the room of the Committee of Claims, in February, 1837, did not propose that resolutions should be offered to Congress, and if they were not adopted, then every Southern man should leave the capitol, and I regret to discover that I was understood to make such a declaration, recently, in the Front street Theatre. That the occurrence referred to by me, in my remarks before the audience in the theatre, may not be misunderstood, please allow to me space for a brief explanation. In February, 1837, the day next succeeding that on which the votes for

Doc. 231. battle at Milford, Mo. Fought December 18, 1861. Headquarters St. Louis, Dec. 20, 1861. To Major-General G. B. McClellan, Major-General Commanding Army: A part of Gen. Pope's forces, under Col. J. C. Davis and Major Marshall, surprised another camp of the enemy on the afternoon of the 18th, at Milford, a little north of Warrensburg. A brisk skirmish ensued, when the enemy, finding himself surrounded, surrendered at discretion. We took thirteen hundred prisoners, including three colonels and seventeen captains, and one thousand stand of arms, one thousand horses, sixty-five wagons, and a large quantity of tents, baggage, and supplies. Our loss is two killed and eight wounded. The enemy's loss not yet known. Information was received last night from Glasgow that our troops at that place had taken about two tons of powder, in kegs, buried on Jackson's farm. This effectually cuts off their supply of ammunition. H. W. Halleck, Major-General. General Pope's

nati, saw him and asked him why he, who certainly knew better, would reiterate such a damaging slander. tie answered, quite cavalierly, that it was one of the news-items of the day, and he had to keep up with the time; but he would be most happy to publish any correction I might make, as though I could deny such a malicious piece of scandal affecting myself. On the 12th of November I had occasion to write to General Halleck, and I have a copy of his letter in answer: St. Louis, December 18, 1861. Brigadier-General W. T. Sherman, Lancaster, Ohio. my dear General: Yours of the 12th was received a day or two ago, but was mislaid for the moment among private papers, or I should have answered it sooner. The newspaper attacks are certainly shameless and scandalous, but I cannot agree with you, that they have us in their power to destroy us as they please. I certainly get my share of abuse, but it will not disturb me. Your movement of the troops was not countermanded by me be

ion. The whole time the troops were occupied in their embarkation, disembarkation and landing, going the four miles, etc., was only about two hours, and so quietly, that only the dipping of our oars could be heard. On the walls of the house at the Ferry, used as rebel headquarters, was marked out in pencil: On the 18th day of December, the battery under charge of Lieut. McIlvaine, opened fire upon, and effected a total rout of the Yankees, killing fifty and wounding a hundred. Also: Dec. 18, 1861, we repelled an attack made by the Yankees, killing one half their command. I suppose the rebels referred to a time when Col. Fenton, of the Eighth Michigan was making reconnoissances in launches — at which time we lost one man killed, none wounded. Capt. C. R. P. Rodgers, of the Wabash, was Acting Commodore of the Navy on this occasion. The howitzers were under command of Lieut. John Irwin, of the Wabash, and Acting Master Kemp.
