Thus fighting with equal energy and judgment, he repelled alternate charges and invitations to surrender until dark, though nearly surrounded and pressed from both sides by his assailants, who, with reason, confidently expected to capture him. In their last charge, the Rebels lost Col. McNairy, of Nashville, who fell while vainly endeavoring to rally his men. No relief arrived from Fort Henry till next morning; but the gunboat Fair Play, Lt. Fitch, leading four others, all of them convoying a fleet of transports up the river, lad be hailed 2-4 miles below by Harding's messenger, and incited to make speed to the rescue. Harding was still holding his ground firmly, though nearly out of ammunltion — having lost one of his guns and 45 out of 60 artillery horses — when, at 8 P. M., the Fair Play arrived, and considerably astonished the Rebels by a raking fire along their line. The other gunboats were soon on hand, and doing

ck to Halltown, Virginia, taking position, on the right of the infantry. The First division, West Virginia cavalry (Brigadier-General Duffie), moved to Point of Rocks, Maryland, crossing the Potomac via Harper's Ferry, Virginia. The Third brigade, First division (Colonel Lowell), fell back to Halltown and took position on the left of the infantry. The Second division, West Virginia cavalry (Brigadier-General Averell), was now across the Potomac river, his main force in the vicinity of Fair Play, Maryland, and watching the fords on the upper Potomac. On the twenty-third and twenty-fourth the cavalry remained in the same position as on the twenty-second. On the morning of the twenty-fifth I marched the First and Third divisions of cavalry (Brigadier-Generals Merritt and Wilson) to Kearneysville by two routes, making the junction half a mile from Kearneysville — from there proceeded in the direction of Leetown in two columns.

d left, they being armed with rifles; and Lieut. Gibson was ordered to carry his company up by the "right flank." Both orders were carried out coolly and bravely by each company. As they approached the house a heavy fire opened upon them from a corn-field adjoining the barn, doing some closer cutting, but hitting but one man, Lieut. Swindler, Jr. Major Patton then ordered Lieut. Swindler to take his company and search the house, while Lieut. Gibson was to hold the barn. Both were done: the "Washington Greys" surrounding the house — a large one, containing some twenty rooms, perhaps — and searching it, and the "Giles Volunteers" holding the barn under fire, which they returned, with effect, certainly killing one and wounding another. The "Washington Greys" are certainly a splendid set of fellows, both officers and men, and I am sure would have much preferred that "Ithuriel" should have been more generous and just to their mountain comrades, the "Giles Volunteers."

If the necessities of the country require the services of the militia let all be enrolled — so that every man may have an equal chance, If the Government requires workmen, let it employ them regularly and constantly — not give them an occasional job merely to keep them out of the army. I repeat, let the Legislature look closely into this matter of exemptions, or they will have room for continual complaint and dissatisfaction, productive of great trouble. Fair Play
