Ritchie (West Virginia, United States) (search for this): chapter 238
kees were found close to our tents, who are said to have been shot by a sick man lying in one of them. Many of our men had bullet-holes through their clothing, and it is miraculous that our list of killed and wounded is so small. Fifty-five of the enemy were buried by our men, and some of them recognized as Union men from Marion County, by their old neighbors. It is stated by one who saw a good many of the dead Hessians, that none of them were shot lower than the breast, and many through the heart. A little hero named Musgrove, from Ritchie County, was shot through the arm by a man concealed behind a log. He immediately got a friend to load his musket, and, jumping over a pile of brush, shot the rascal who had wounded him, and secured his oil-cloth coat, with a name on it. Every account which we have seen concurs in representing the rout of the enemy to have been complete, though it is not probable that we shall ever learn his actual loss. --Richmond Dispatch, Dec. 23.
Highland County (Virginia, United States) (search for this): chapter 238
r loss in killed and wounded, I think, will reach nearly one hundred and fifty, and the rebel loss in killed alone, over two hundred. It was one of the hardest fought battles that has yet occurred in Western Virginia. The fight occurred in Highland County, seven miles from Monterey, from which place they (the rebels) received large reinforcements. I notice that some member of the Convention proposed to include Highland in the new State. I think if he had been at the fight he would accept thHighland in the new State. I think if he had been at the fight he would accept the amendment to strike out that county. The loss in the Second Virginia regiment is three killed and ten wounded--some mortally, though they have not died, and one missing. Among the killed was Lieut. Sickman, of the Plummer Guards, now Company G in the regiment. He was highly esteemed and a gallant officer. The rebel artillery was silenced four or five times by some boys of the Second, who annihilated one artillery company. There were many amusing incidents occurring during the fight, whic

Come on, my brave boys, follow me! He fell into the arms of Col. Johnson, who says he was as brave a man as he ever saw. Capt. Thompson also behaved with great gallantry. He was surrounded once, but extricated himself, receiving many bullets through his clothing, but sustaining no personal injury. It is stated of Capt. Anderson, the veteran hero who fell early in the engagement, that this was his fifty-eighth battle. Col. Johnson said on the battle-field, that he could storm Arlington Heights with ten thousand such troops as the boys from the Northwest, Johnson was always in the thickest of the fight, sometimes with a club in his hand, but generally with a musket; and another officer has since remarked that he could load and shoot faster than any man he saw. The enemy, in the early part of the engagement, got between our commissary stores and the Confederate troops, and afterward two dead Yankees were found close to our tents, who are said to have been shot by a sick man

e rebel artillery was silenced four or five times by some boys of the Second, who annihilated one artillery company. There were many amusing incidents occurring during the fight, which, as I have spun this letter out to a considerable length, cannot be related here. From our column, which was composed of the Second Virginia and Ninth Indiana, all fought bravely, and were deserving of victory, but the odds were too great against us. I have just learned that the rebels contemplate attacking Elkwater in force. Let them come! The rebels also had a Second Virginia in the fight, and they were all fine-looking men, and well clothed. Our regiment was the last to leave the rebels. Considering that this was the first time we had been under fire, the men behaved well indeed. Major Milroy, of the Ninth Indiana, regardless of langer to himself, was everywhere encouraging the men during the fight. Secession Narratives. Richmond Enquirer account.

The troops of the enemy were supposed to number about five thousand, and supposed also to be under the orders of Gen. Reynolds, the same who commanded at Greenbrier. The troops on our side consisted of two Georgia regiments, Col. J. B. Baldwin's regiment of Virginia troops, and two Virginia battalions — the one commanded by Lieut.-Col. Hansbrough, of Taylor County, the other by Maj. Rogers, of Barbour County. There were also two field-batteries — the one commanded by Capt. Anderson, the other the battery of Capt. Rice. Our whole force numbered about two thousand, and were under the command of Col. Edward Johnson, of the Georgia troops, a native of Chester-field County, Va. It has already been stated that our army had fallen back from their entrenched camp at Greenbrier River, the scene of their former glory, and that a portion of our troops had been transferred elsewhere.

The intrenched camp of the enemy on Cheat Mountain is about seven miles beyond the Greenbrier River, and therefore seventeen miles west of the scene of the battle on Friday last.

ion is that there were over three thousand rebels we had to fight, and at no time had we over two hundred and fifty men in the fight; opposed to this force was at least one thousand five hundred rebel muskets, and four or five pieces of artillery, among which was a thirty-two pounder. Our loss in killed and wounded, I think, will reach nearly one hundred and fifty, and the rebel loss in killed alone, over two hundred. It was one of the hardest fought battles that has yet occurred in Western Virginia.

, seeing a number of men partially concealed by fallen timber, supposed they were our pickets, and called out to them to come into the ditches. Hardly were the words out of his mouth, when a shower of musketry was poured upon him, and the noble old hero fell from his horse and died in about fifteen minutes. The command of the battery now devolved upon Lieut. W. W. Hardwicke, of Lynchburg, who directed the shots admirably, and exhibited much personal bravery. Capt. Miller's battery, from Rock bridge, opened upon the enemy in the thicket, with canister shot, and sent many a poor Hessian to his last account. From another letter, addressed to a gentleman in this city, we glean the following incidents: In the second charge, while leading in the front, Lieut. Lewis Thompson received a shot through his body and another in his arm, just as he had shouted, Come on, my brave boys, follow me! He fell into the arms of Col. Johnson, who says he was as brave a man as he ever saw. Capt.
Alleghany (Va.) (Virginia, United States) (search for this): chapter 238
Doc. 226. battle of camp Alleghany, Va., fought December 13, 1861. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial gives the following particulars of the battle. Cheat Mountain Summit, December 20, 1861. On Thursday morning, December 12th, the Union troops under command of Brig.-Gen. R. H. Milroy, took up their march for the enemy's camp, which is situated on the top of the Alleghany Mountains, eight and a half miles beyond the Greenbrier River, or what is better known, Camp Bartow. This Camp Bartow is the Camp at which Gen. Reynolds reconnoitered so effectually October 3d last, and from which the rebels have since fled. This Camp Bartow, is at a point on the Staunton Pike, called The traveller's repose. The Union command, consisting of detachments from the Ninth and Thirteenth Indiana, Twenty-fifth and Thirty-second Ohio, Second Virginia regiment, and Bracken's Cavalry, numbered in all about two thousand men. The column reached Camp Bartow about eight o'clock P. M., where th

sing, of over seven hundred men. Their dead bodies are still being found in the woods. Six were found yesterday, with their eyes picked out by the crows, and many more doubtless lie scattered through the dense forest. Among the officers that distinguished themselves in the late battle was Major Boykin, who commanded the Thirty-first Virginia Regiment. He charged at the head of his men, cheered them on by his valor, and drove the enemy in confusion down the hill. Major Boykin is from Lewis County, a graduate of the Military Institute, and is quite a young man. He is the idol of his men. We learn that he has since been promoted to a lieutenant-colonelcy. We daily expect a renewal of the attack upon our camp. The enemy, under the guidance of a tory named Slavin, have been reconnoitring our position, with the intention of cutting a road for artillery. A party has gone out to capture them, and I hope they may succeed, as Slavin is a great scoundrel, and guided the enemy in the at
