o be under the orders of Gen. Reynolds, the same who commanded at Greenbrier. The troops on our side consisted of two Georgia regiments, Col. J. B. Baldwin's regiment of Virginia troops, and two Virginia battalions — the one commanded by Lieut.-Col. Hansbrough, of Taylor County, the other by Maj. Rogers, of Barbour County. There were also two field-batteries — the one commanded by Capt. Anderson, the other the battery of Capt. Rice. Our whole force numbered about two thousand, and were under d to yield in the field, they left a large number of their dead in our hands. Eighty had already been found, at the date of our reports. Among the slain on our side, we are sorry to hear the name of Captain Anderson of the artillery. Lieut.-Col. Hansbrough is among the wounded, but, we are happy to hear, not dangerously. Thus have the heroes of Greenbrier again taught the enemy a bloody lesson. On the river side and on the mountain top, twice has Reynolds sought to overpower them with s

dge, but by way of the Braddock Road, and the Big Woods (all upper Fairfaxians will know what I mean by Big Woods), and also that our people were not picketing north of the stone house, and suggested that a squad of the cavalry be left at my house on the Sudley Road to prevent a surprise. Colonel Hunton replied: Your suggestion is a good one, and I will adopt it at once, trusting you to act for me as commissary and quartermaster for the time being. He sent Sergeant Amos Slaymaker, Private Hansbrough and four others whose names have escaped my memory, to my house with orders to keep a strict watch night and day, and to report to him at once so soon as any Federal advance was seen. This order was well obeyed, as the sequel will show. One thing not exactly germaine to the point, I cannot refrain from mentioning. It showed Colonel Hunton's regard for his men. He said: Have you got anything in the way of cooked rations you can send my men about nightfall? They have been marching

en. Garnett and Capt. Shoemaker's battery we remained at the trenches till the balance of the command had gone some distance up the mountain. On getting within a few miles of Beverly, the General was informed that the road had been blockaded, and he then determined to proceed through Tucker and Preston and into Hardy, and having passed the road that led that way, we reversed the order of march, which threw my regiment to the front, which order was preserved during the day, except that Colonel Hansbrough's Battalion passed us to the front. That night we camped on Cheat river, and next morning Col. Hassorough, Col. Jackson, and myself were marched in front of the train. Gen. Garnett, now anticipating an attack from Gen. Hill, (as I understood,) also placed Capt. Shoemaker with his battery in front of the train. We were now upon a narrow, mountainous country road, and with a long train of wagons our line was necessarily extended for a considerable distance. Col. Tallaferro's Virg

ceived last night by telegraph: Va. Oct. 7.--An intelligent gentleman who was present at the battle of Greenbrier, on the 3d inst., has just reached here and has communicated some additional detail of the engagement. He states that brigGen. H. R. Jackson occupies the same position now with his brigade that he occupied in the battle, and that his pickets their former positions. The Virginia regiments engaged were those commanded by Colonels Jackson, Scott, and Taliferro, with Hansbrough's battalion, and their artillery companies, (with two battalion commanded by Captains Anderson, Shumaker and Rice. Capt. Shumaker was wounded by the bursting of a bomb, and Capt. Rice had a portion of his foot shot off. The first and twelfth Georgia regiments, and first Arkansas regiment, were also engaged. One of the members of the latter regiment was killed. Among the killed and wounded in the Georgia regiments was David Brown, of the City Guards, killed; a member of the Dahl

f the 35th regiment, was posted on the hill to the left of the centre. Col. Johnston's command consisted of the 1st and 12th Georgia, (Col. Ramsey's regiment;) Col. Taliaterro's command consisted of the 23d, 25th, and 44th (Col. Scott's) Virginia regiments, and Shumaker's and Rice's batteries. Col. Rust's command consisted of the 3d Arkansas regiment and a battalion from the 5th brigade and Auderson's battery. Col. Jackson's command consisted of the 35th Virginia, regiment, with Hansbrough's battalion, with a piece of Anderson's battery under Capt. Deshier, C. S. A., and Lieut. Massie. Our pickets, under Col. Johnston, offered a gallant resistance to the overwhelming force of the enemy. Their troops, amounting to about ten thousand, formed across the river flat and the hills on the right of the road, and poured incessantly shot and shell for four hours and a quarter on our forces. It was soon evident that the shot from our batteries produced a telling effect on their

Map of the battle-ground at Greenbrier river. We have seen a map of the battle-ground at Greenbrier river, and of the surrounding country as far as the enemy's encampment on Cheat Mountain, which was drawn by Lieut. C. S. Morgan, of Richmond. This map enables one to see at a glance the respective positions of all of our regiments and batteries, as well as those of the enemy, and delineates the features of the country so clearly that the whole scene is present to the mind of the spectator. The style of its execution is highly creditable to our young townsman, who has gone to the Northwest, the home of his ancestors, to aid in redeeming their graves from the possession of the Federal vandals. Though a lieutenant in rank, he is acting Adjutant of Lieut. Colonel Hansbrough's battalion, his military education having qualified him peculiarly for such a post.

orning, but the troops allied gallantly to their work, and fought with the energy of desperation. The troops under Col. Johnston's command were portions of the 12th Georgia and the 31st Virginia regiments, Col. Baldwin's Virginia regiment, and Hansbrough's and Regar's battalions — in all, probably not much over 1,200 men. From statements gathered from two prisoners captured a few days previously, it is presumed that the enemy's force was from 1,000 to 5,000. Our loss in the battle is set down led are the following: Capt. B. P. Anderson, of the Lee battery, from Lynchburg, a gallant and meritorious officer. Lieut. Lewis S. Thompson, of the Marion Guards, a son of Judge Thompson, of Wheeling. Among the wounded are Lieut. Col. Hansbrough, Capt. Deithier, one of Col. Johnson's aids; and Capt. Mollohon, of the axton county company. The 31st Virginia regiment, commanded by Major Boykin; suffered more severely than my other. This is the regiment formerly under Col. Wm.

.) Hansborough and Reger's battalions, and the 12th Georgia Regiment. --After a band-to-hand contest the enemy was driven from the hills. Three times were they forced to give way, and three times did they rally only to meet with greater slaughter from the determined courage of our troops.--Our men charged with the bayonet and drove the enemy before them down the hill, and by a well-directed volley scattered them, like frightened sheep, through the woods. In this action, at this point, Col. Hansbrough was wounded, Capt Monahan, of the Braxton company, was killed, and Capt. Deshler, aid to Col Johnson, was wounded. Several other officers were wounded. Our loss at this point was severe, owing to the close encounter of the combatants. In the meantime a consider this force flanked to the right of our encampment, and made a furious assault upon the entrenchments. Hiding behind logs, they kept up a sharp fire for some hours, but were repulsed with considerable loss. It was here th
