p their magazines, burned their wagons, and brought away various trophies in the way of fine pistols, guns, &c. The enemy lost between fifty and seventy killed, without a man lost on our side. The enemy fled precipitately in the direction of Bowling Green. At this juncture a messenger arrived from McHenry's camp, stating he was about to be surrounded by a superior force, when Colonel Burbridge's forces, infantry, artillery, and cavalry, took up their line of march on the other side, at doublee did, with about three hundred men from Owensboro to Woodbury, a distance of sixty or seventy miles, in two days--attacking and utterly routing a force of five hundred of the enemy within less than eighteen miles of Buckner's Headquarters at Bowling Green, where he is reported to have a very heavy force, destroying the entire camp and camp equipage, driving the enemy off with a loss of fifty or sixty in killed, an unknown number in wounded, and recrossing the river in safety, with only one of

I will avoid conflict with Kentuckians, except in necessary self-defence, but I will unite with my fellow-citizens to resist the invaders who have driven us from our homes. To this course we are impelled by the highest sense of duty and the irresistible instincts of manhood.

McClernand, which is corroborated by prisoners taken at Belmont, that a large rebel force actually had their knapsacks packed to reinforce Buckner at Bowling Green, and make a forward movement against Louisville. To further show that the object of the expedition against Belmont was not intended for Columbus, I was shown a letter in Gen. Grant's quarters to-day from Assistant Adjutant-General McKeever directing him to move only against Belmont and avoid Columbus. Thus the movement intended and directed was a complete success and a triumph over the superior numerical forces of the enemy by destroying their camp and twice routing them, and driving t

In the action we sustained a loss of four killed and nine wounded. The enemy was driven back, and left about fifty killed, and seven prisoners. The conduct of our troops was marked by impetuous valor. On charging the enemy, Col. Terry, of the Texas Rangers, was killed in the moment of victory. His regiment deplores the
