ll, and as his front rank would fire he would cause it to fall back a few paces and lie down and load, while Connor's had no such advantage But for that it is generally believed that a majority of Scott's right wing would have been killed. General Taliaferro's Brigade came up before the battle closed, but I am not advised as to the part it bore in the action. It is highly complimented. The battle commenced about 5 o'clock, and did not close until nearly 9 P. M. In this action all the officersusual, displayed great gallantry, and had his horse killed under him, and was wounded in the ankle. Col. Harman was wounded in the arm early in the action, and his regiment was then well commanded by Lieut. Col. Skinner and Mufor Ross. Col. Taliaferro's, of the 23d regiment, had his horse killed; Col.Scott, also, had his horse killed under him by two balls. Indeed, it looks like a miracle that he should have, escaped unhurt.

e legs but I am happy to state that the wound, though quite painful, is not of a serious character. The 12th Georgia regiment did most of the fighting, and suffered very severely. They lost 182 killed, wounded and missing; among them were many brave and gallant officers. One company of the 12th Georgia lost all of its officers save the 4th Corporal. There were only two brigades of three regiments each both of Johnson's army, engaged int the fight. The first was commanded by Col. Z. T. Conner, of Georgia, and the second by Col. Wm. C. Scott, of Virginia, of both of whom Gen. Johnson speaks in the highest terms for their gallantry and bravery on this occasion. We expected to renew the fight the next morning, but the bird had flown, leaving behind, at McDowell, where 3,000 encamped, all his camp equipage, a large quantity of ammunition, a number of cases of Enfield rifles, together with about 100 head of cattle, which they had stolen, being mostly milch cows.

asked them if Virginians would let a parcel of Yankees make them run on their own soil? By such appeals as this he soon rallied them, and as they returned to the charge, he waved his hat and cheered most vociferously. His men then ponder into the enemy, who had by this time got very near to his line, so deadly a fire as to drive them down the hill, During this fire his men shot down the flag bearer, shot the flagstaff in two or three places, and during the temporary flight of the enemy Major Colsy, of the Fifty-eight Regiment, ran out and got the flag which is still in the possession of that regiment. As soon as the enemy were driven down the hill, Colonel Scott proposed three cheers for old Virginia, which were given with a will. The battle was equally fierce with Colonel Connor's Brigade. Indeed, It was fiercest where the left wing of Connor's and the right wing of Scott's united at right angles to each other, The 12th Georgia was nearer the left of Connor's and suffered mo

Scott's right wing, and poured into it so deadly a fire as to cause his men to recoil some fifteen or twenty yards. Scott's situation was then perilous in the extreme. He placed himself on his line of battle before his men with not more than a dozen men who had not left, and waving his hat around his head, appealed to his men in the most animating manner to rally to his support. He asked them if Virginians would let a parcel of Yankees make them run on their own soil? By such appeals as this he soon rallied them, and as they returned to the charge, he waved his hat and cheered most vociferously.
