The force of the enemy could not have been much less than four thousand men, composed of the two regiments of infantry already named, three full regiments and two battalions of cavalry, and twelve pieces of artillery. The cavalry was mostly made up of Tennessee and Kentucky men, with the exception of three companies of Texan Rangers under the command of Col. Gano. The three cavalry regiments were commanded respectively by Cols. Duke, Chenault, and Bennett, and the other battalion by Major Stoner. The two infantry regiments were commanded by the infamous Kentucky traitor, Roger W. Hanson, and the artillery was partly attached to his brigade, partly to the cavalry, and partly independent. The entire force was commanded by Brigadier-General John Morgan. As soon as possible after the surrender, the rebels collected their prisoners together, and commenced plundering our camps. The prisoners were then taken across the river; but before the booty was all over, General Dumont's for

Boyle all the information of importance and asked him for additional ammunition for infantry, and sponges, rammers, sights, elevating screws, etc., for the siege-guns.

My command consisted of three hundred and fifty of the Seventh Ohio volunteer cavalry, a section of Laws' howitzer-battery, and two companies of the Twenty-second Michigan infantry. At four o'clock precisely on Sunday morning, I received a letter from Captain Ratcliffe, stating that an old negro had come to him with information that Lieutenant-Colonel Stoner and three hundred of Cluke's men were camped on the Owingsville road, about five miles from Mount Sterling, and that they were going over to the Maysville road. He did not inform me that an immediate attack was apprehended, asked for a reenforcement of three hundred and fifty mounted men, and said he could hold the place until they arrived. I gave this communication full consideration, and decided that it was not my duty to move from my post until the return of my patrols assured
