en one hundred and forty were left in the hospital at Lexington. A full list of the killed and wounded must be awaited. Colonel Mulligan was wounded on the last day of the fight by a ball through the calf of the leg, and a flesh wound on the right arm, from a grape shot. We have already referred to the injury of Captain Gleeson, received in the defence of the hospital. In the same encounter, among the killed, was John Saville of Chicago, private in Company G, Irish Brigade; also Corporal Andrew Hill of the Jackson Guards, and Cornelius O'Leary. Sergeant Moony was shot through the shoulder. Private Morris was instantly killed by a round shot, half his head being carried away. Colonel Marshall is wounded, a ball having struck him in the chest, inflicting a serious wound; James Conway, the hospital steward of the Irish Brigade, is killed. Our last night's despatches in the telegraph column, give a continued list of the killed and wounded as far as made up last evening. Amon
lesh wound in the knee; Philip Faust, wounded in back, shoulder, and side; George W. Graham, ankle dislocated; B. S. Owens, gun-shot wound; Wm. Sexton, same; George Kneckler, slightly wounded; George Isenhower, fracture in the jaw; badly hurt; Edward Cheatham, slight gun-shot wound. The surgeons were Dr. N. S. Hamlin and Dr. Wm. Sorrens. L. A. Cunningham acted as assistant surgeon. The wounded were hauled back to Laclede by Mr. Cunningham, the assistant surgeon, and placed in a house. Mrs. Hill, a kind-hearted lady of Laclede, was very attentive to the sufferers. The loss of the enemy was fourteen killed and eight taken prisoners. A number of horses and camp equipage was also captured. The old man who decoyed Col. Morgan into the ambush, as soon as he saw the rebels running, attempted to make his own escape, but was shot dead by one of the cavalry, named James Raritan. Strange to relate, Mr. Raritan was accidentally shot and killed the following day at Laclede, as he was attem
en men from the Lincolnites, and recaptured three of Colonel Wright's regiment, when within two hundred yards of the boats. It is a remarkable fact that not a man was lost of the cavalry corps engaged, and but two slightly wounded. Two companies of the First Tennessee battalion of cavalry, Colonel Logwood, were kept on this side as a reserve, in anticipation of an attack on this side of the river. Captain Ballentine's company, the Shelby Light Dragoons, and Captain Green's (formerly Major Hill's) company, were stationed on the hill above Columbus, and the battle went on before them like a panorama. Captain Taylor's Cavalry, the Memphis Light Dragoons, captured 24 prisoners, among whom was Brevet Brigadier-General Dougherty, Colonel of the Seventh Illinois regiment, who had been shot in the early part of the day — about the time of the taking of the Watson battery by the enemy. Colonel Dougherty has since had his leg amputated twice, the first operation being unskilfully perf

Colonel Smith I noticed particularly wading through the mire nearly knee-deep, having dismounted to give his horse to a sick captain, as jolly as if he were on four horses. From information received from our guide, (who by the way is a rara avis in this country, a true-blue Virginia Unionist,) we thought we should overtake the wagon train at Three Mile Hill, seven miles from Raleigh. On reaching the Blake farm, one mile from the foot of the mountain, we sent forward mounted scouts, who returned with the disheartening news that the aforesaid vehiculary conveyances, like the hieland laddie of musical notoriety, were o'er the hills and far awa‘. What could we do? Our men were used up; we had neither tents, provisions, ambulances, nor heavy artillery, (having been obliged to leave Schneider's pieces some distance behind,) and were deep in an enem
