y more, to say nothing of sixty or seventy wounded, who were rapidly removed from the field. Our own loss, so far as is ascertained, are Mr. Hanger, of the Augusta Cavalry, who was killed near the bridge; Mr. Martin, of Rockbridge, and Mr. Thomas E. Sims, of Richmond. The latter individual, when last seen was bravely defending himself, near the wagon of the Quartermaster, to whom be was an assistant. The first wound he received was from a man who was mounted, but who afterwards met his derafton, together with the fact that our forces intended to move that night, by resident traitors.
