of collecting at Knoxville all the recently exchanged prisoners, furloughed men and convalescents, so that he did not get to Knoxville until October 3d, as shown by a dispatch of that date saying, I have just arrived here with 2,500 men, all that General Van Dorn would let me have. About 2,000 exchanged prisoners will arrive in a day or two. Had he been permitted at the start to take with him his old skel-eton regiments and push forward, effecting a junction with Bragg in central Kentucky, he would have recruited them to a maximum, and might have given or left for us a different history of that period. As it was, vexatious delays still further detained him, and it was not until October 14th that he was able to leave Knoxville. When he had reached within twenty-eight miles of Cumberland Gap on the 17th, he received an order from General Bragg written at Barboursville, Ky., October 14th, directing him to return to Knoxville. His further operations will appear in a later chapter.

Cumberland Gap. On the 23d he attacked Col. Leonidas Metcalfe, of the Seventh Kentucky cavalry, at Big Hill, seventeen miles from Richmond, and routed him with heavy loss, then pursuing the enemy in disorderly flight nearly to Richmond. Meantime General Smith, following the line of operations indicated in his letter to President Davis of the 11th, crossed the Cumberland mountains through Rogers' Gap, with the divisions of Cleburne and Churchill 6,000 strong, and on the 18th reached Barboursville, Ky., while General Heth, conveying the artillery and trains through Big Creek Gap, joined him on the 22d. Being reinforced by a brigade from Stevenson's division, General Smith advanced from Barboursville towards Richmond on the 27th with 12,000 men, and on the 30th attacked the Federal forces near Richmond, See Scott's reports, Rebellion Records, part 2, Vol. XVI, pp. 931– 32-33.

cavalry had a skirmish with the enemy this evening and brought in nine live Yankees with their horses. We may have some fighting to-morrow as the blue-coats have made their appearance. We have marched twenty-six miles to-day through a wild and desolate region. The inhabitants of this mountain wilderness are wrapped in profound ignorance. Some of them do not know in what year they live and are under the impression that Andrew Jackson is President of the United States. August I8.—Barboursville, Ky. After marching since 2 o'clock this morning, and crossing a mountain before daylight, we find ourselves invading the grand old Commonwealth of Kentucky. We have marched twenty miles to-day, and the troops are worn out with the extraordinary exertions of the past two days; but a detail has been ordered for picket duty, and, alas, for my hopes of a good night's rest—my name is among the unfortunates. But we are in the face of the enemy and must guard against a night surprise. I feel

ch in Shakespeare's Play. Or, to quote a distinguished Tennessee orator, 'It is sorter so and sorter not so.'" We copy it entire, and leave the rattler to form his own estimate of Mr. Nelson's position: To the people of Rast Tennessee. Having ascertained from reliable authority that an order had been issued to take effect on the day of, or immediately after, the late election, directing my arrest, I left home on the morning of the election, with the view of making my way to Barboursville, Kentucky, where I designed to remain, if I could safely do so, until I should receive authentic evidence of the final result; and, if it appeared that I had received a larger vote than either of the candidates for the Confederate Congress, I intended to serve the people in the Congress of the United States; but, if other-wise, to return home and decline any action against the popular will. After using every precaution in my power to avoid detection, I was arrested on the night of the 4th of
The Victor in Kentucky. --The affair at Barboursville, Kentucky, (not Muldrungh's hill, as improperly reported on yesterday) was quite a brilliant victory to the gallant Tennesseeans. We have been kindly shown the dispatch received here by a highly esteemed clergyman, and to which allusion was made in yesterday's Dispatch. It states that the Confederate forces numbering eight hundred, under the command of Gen. Zollicoffer, had attacked eighteen hundred Federal troops, at Barboursville, in Eastern Kentucky, about forty miles from the Tennessee, and thirty miles from the Virginia lines, and completely routed them, taking four hundred stands of arms and equipments. The loss on the side of the Confederates was only two men killed. The enemy's loss was not reported. The dispatch above referred to came from Nashville, where the writer holds a high position in the department of the Quartermaster for the Confederate forces of Tennessee. This is the same battle alluded to in
Another Confederate victory in Kentucky. Augusta, Sept. 23. --The Knoxville Register of Saturday morning says, on the authority of Capt. John Robertson, that an engagement occurred at Barboursville, Ky., on Thursday last, between 1,800 Federal troops and 800 Confederates, who advanced from Cumberland Ford. The Lincolnites were routed, and the Confederates took 400 stand of arms, and have possession of Barboursville. The Confederate loss was two killed--Lieut. Powell, of Hawkins county, and a private. The Federal loss is not known.
be girdled with a wall of fire so that the navies might be kept apart. He would do anything, except sacrificing our honor, to arrest the war. Indeed, he thought it would be better to pay the $800,000 to keep out of the war, not as a matter of right in the Government to tax us, but for the sake of peace. Another account of the battle of Barboursville. The Knoxville Register, of Sunday, gives the following additional account of the battle which took place on Thursday last at Barboursville, Kentucky: Mr. P. S. Suyder, a private in Captain Rowan's company, the McGehee Invincible, who was in the fight at Barboursville, on Thursday morning, and who arrived here direct from our camp at Cumberland Ford, communicates the following particulars: About eight hundred of our troops, under Col., Battle, with two or three companies of cavalry, were advancing on Barboursville, about daylight on Thursday morning, and we were within a quarter of a mile of that place, at a bridge cros
The recent battle at Barboursville, Ky. The following is the fullest account of the recent battle at Barboursville, Ky., that has yet reached us: Camp near Cumberland Ford, Ky.,September 16, 1861. We arrived here on the 14th instant, after a forced march of many hours--Capt. Rowan, company B, 1st Battalion of East Tennessee Cavalry, leading the van, and with Capt. Plumlee's company, forming the vanguard of the Brigade. Our situation here is one which can be made impregnable, by thBarboursville, Ky., that has yet reached us: Camp near Cumberland Ford, Ky.,September 16, 1861. We arrived here on the 14th instant, after a forced march of many hours--Capt. Rowan, company B, 1st Battalion of East Tennessee Cavalry, leading the van, and with Capt. Plumlee's company, forming the vanguard of the Brigade. Our situation here is one which can be made impregnable, by the aid of a little work and the proper armament.--Where our fortifications are finished, we can say to the Northern invaders, come and fall back like the wave that would try to roll over the pillows of Hercules. Since our advent into Kentucky, we have been doing picket and scouting duty, capturing arms and taking prisoners. A number of muskets, rifles, and captains' swords have been our trophies. On day before yesterday our affairs seemed to take a different turn. Cols. Rains and Bran
