Miller, was ordered to the right, up a similar mountain, to flank the enemy on their left. Company I, commanded by Capt. Anderson, was ordered directly up the ravist to mount their breastworks, his men following him in the face of a terrible fire without flinching or confusion. As Capt. Anderson scaled the breastwork, Capt. Miller closed upon the left and Capt. Rathbone came in upon the right, his men crying Zouave! --the main column moving up the road in double-quick — until they were b four hundred and fifty infantry, and fifty cavalry.

Montgomery, and Capt. Bowles' Cavalry, of Lieut.-Col. Miller's battalion of Mississippi Cavalry--were in imminent danger of an attack.

autauga County, North Carolina, a disaffected region adjoining Johnson County, Tennessee. In the fight the enemy were driven out of the woods, nine killed and five taken prisoners. The remainder retreated, and our scouts returned toward their camp. Captain Miller received a charge of buckshot through his coat, and two of his men were slightly wounded in the feet. The prisoners were taken to the cavalry camp at Carter's Station. Lynchburg Virginian account. We are indebted to Captain H. H. Miller, of the Twelfth Mississippi regiment, for the following particulars of an engagement between twenty-two Virginians, under his command, and three hundred of the enemy, supposed to be under the command of----Taylor, a former member of Congress from Tennessee, which occurred at Taylor's Ford, on the Wautauga River, about two o'clock Sunday morning. Captain Miller arrived at Bristol on Saturday last, en route to Mississippi, when intelligence reached there of the depredations that were

number of white flags, which they waived quite enthusiastically, supposing they could still deceive our brave Union men, who had plead for them and saved their property from destruction, but it was all in vain. Their destruction was decreed by an indignant people, and three regiments would not have prevented them from burning the town. Our troops passed over; a few shots were fired at the rear guard of the retreating rebels, and a few arrests made of leading secessionists, among them H. H. Miller, who had been for some time with the rebel army, and came in with Jenkins and got trapped at home; E. A. Smith, who was seen firing with a revolver on our soldiers in the street; John S. Everett, who shot at one of our soldiers swimming the Guyandotte, and several others. And then the town was soon in flames. No Union man's house was set on fire, but several caught from the others. The town is, at least three-fourths of it, burnt up. All the stores, the hotel, and the finest dwelling h

ax road as far as the Pohick. By taking the road toward Pohick Church, his scouts came in sight of our troops in advance of the church, and mistook them for the enemy drilling. Our skirmishers saw them, and reported the rebel cavalry and infantry on that road. Gen. Heintzelman advanced a force to meet them, but after sending forward no one could be discovered, and the troops were withdrawn. Of the Lincoln Cavalry Sergeant O'Brien is killed; Bugler Benton mortally wounded, since dead; Private Miller wounded, missing; Private Mitchell wounded slightly; Capt. Todd, missing; Private Johnson, missing; and seven horses missing. This loss was sustained by the negligence of the officers of this cavalry in permitting their men to straggle in the presence of the enemy, and to plunder. The rebels evidently occupy several points on the railroad in force, have a cavalry force at or near Elsey's and Sangster's crossroads, and a force at Wolf Run Shoals. Gen. Heintzelman was accompanied and as
