The object of the expedition was explained to us, it being to clean out Camp Baldwin, situated on top of the Alleghany Mountains, distant from Cheat Mountain Summit about twenty-five miles. On the 12th instant we left there, (the Summit,) and marched to the old camp of the rebels at Greenbrier, and there halted long enough to get supper and rest, where our force was divided, seven hundred going up the Greenbrier River, and a like number up the turnpike toward Staunton, where the two columns were to make the attack at 4 o'clock in the morning; but owing to the roughness of the road, and three miles of it up the mountain, much steeper than any part of Wheeling Hill, the column which your correspo

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.

diers, who have been enduring the hardships of the Virginia mountains, gladdened the hearts of their countrymen and added new glory to their own fame, by winning a victory of which our whole people will be proud. For the particulars, as above narrated, we are indebted to a gentleman who came hither from Monterey after the news of the battle had reached there. Since writing it, we have obtained a copy of a despatch received here by the War Department. It is as follows: Staunton, December 14. A despatch from Col. Johnson states that the enemy attacked him yesterday, five thousand strong, but was repulsed with great loss, after an engagement of seven hours. The battle commenced at seven o'clock A. M. Johnson's force was twelve hundred. W. W. Loring, Brigadier-General. Another account. camp Alleghany, Dec. 21, 1861. Our boys are laughing heartily over the Yankees' published account of the battle of Alleghany. The following passage is really amusing: The rebels

template 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 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 attack on the 13th inst. If they head old Johnson, they may next head the devil. T. S. --Richmond Dispatch. Richmond, Dec. 22. A letter from Camp Alleghany states that in the bloody fight of the 13th, Col. Johnson appeared upon the field in citizen's dress, gave his commands in the most emphatic manner, and led the fierce charges in person. After the Yankees had been driven to the woods, the Lee battery, of Lynchburg, opened upon them with marked effect. Capt. B. P. Anderson, who commanded this battery, seeing a number of men partially concealed by fallen timber, supposed they were our pickets, and called out

ees 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.
