84.-battle of Rich Mountain, Va.
Gen. McClellan's official report.
Headquarters, Department of the Ohio, Rich Mountain, Va., 9 a.m., July 12, 1861.
Col. E. D. Townsend: We are in possession of all the enemy's works up to a point in the right of Beverly.
I have taken all his guns, a very large amount of wagons, tents, &c.--everything he had — a large number of prisoners, many of whom were wounded, and several officers prisoners.
They lost many killed.
We have lost, in all, perhaps twenty killed and fifty wounded, of whom all but two or three were in the column under Rosecrans, which turned the position.
The mass of the enemy escaped through the woods, entirely disorganized.
Among the prisoners is Dr. Taylor, formerly of the army.
Col. Pegram was in command.
Colonel Rosecrans's column left camp yesterday morning, and marched some eight miles through the mountains, reaching the turnpike some two or three miles in rear of the enemy, defeating an advanced post,

85.-McClellan's Second report.
Beverly, July 12th, 1861. Col. E. D. Townsend, Washington, D. C,:
The success of to-day is all that I could desire.
We captured six brass cannons, of which one is rifled, all the enemy's camp equipage and transportation, even to his cups.
The number of tents will probably reach two hundred, and more than sixty wagons.
Their killed and wounded will amount to fully one hundred and fifty, with one hundred prisoners, and more coming in constantly.
I know already of ten officers killed and prisoners.
Their retreat is complete.
I occupied Beverly by a rapid march.
Garnett abandoned his camp early in the morning, leaving much of his equipage.
He came within a few miles of Beverly, but our rapid march turned him back in great confusion, and he is now retreating on the road to St. George.
I have ordered Gen. Morris to follow him up closely.
I have telegraphed for the two Pennsylvania regiments at Cumberland to join Gen. Hill at Rowl

86.-the fight at Barboursville, Va. July 12, 1861.
The correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, accompanying Gen. Cox's division on the Kanawha, gives the following account of the taking possession of Barboursville, and the driving out of the secession troops by a portion of Col. Woodruff's regiment.
At midnight on the night of the 12th inst., Col. Woodruff's companies A, B, D, F, and K were aroused from their slumbers, and placed under the command of Lieut.-Col. Neff, and, with one day's rations in their haversacks, they proceeded on their march — after a short but stirring address from Col. Woodruff.
The column was conducted by a strong Union man, a resident of Barboursville, who had been driven thence some weeks since.
It was proposed to make the attack at early daylight, but the deep silence observed along the route, together with the halts to send forward scouting parties, deferred their coming into sight of the enemy until the sun was two hours high.

Gen. McClellan's report to Lieut.-Gen. Scott.
Headquarters, Beverly, Va., July 13, 1861. Col. E. D. Townsend, Washington, D. C.:--
