ountain is about seven miles beyond the Greenbrier River, and therefore seventeen miles west of the scene of the battle on Friday last. 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 h

passage is really amusing: The rebels set fire to their camp and retreated to Staunton. Our boys left the field in good order. Why, my dear sirs, it would have done your heart good to have seen the scoundrels run! The road for three miles was covered with their knapsacks, canteens, blankets, hats, and haversacks, and the citizens from the country bring us the news that they were stricken with the most disgraceful panic. The villains vented their spleen upon an old woman living upon the Greenbank road, aged eighty-two years, by destroying her furniture, carrying off her provisions, and breaking up her cooking utensils. Col. Johnson sent her a sack of flour and some other articles. Their troops went back to Cheat Mountain in wild confusion, demoralized and dispirited. Nothing prevented their entire capture but the withdrawal of Col. Taliaferro's brigade from this line of operation. We learn from our spies, and from men recently from Northwestern Virginia, that the enemy confes

We learn from our spies, and from men recently from Northwestern Virginia, that the enemy confess a loss, in killed, wounded, and missing, 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 d
Lynchburg (Virginia, United States) (search for this): chapter 238
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 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 ge
