In these desperate encounters, the veterans of McBride's and Slack's divisions fully sustained their proud reputation, while Col. Martin Green and his command, and Col. Boyd and Maj. Winston and their commands, proved themselves worthy to fight by the side of the men who had by their courage and valor won imperishable honor in the bloody battle of Springfield.

ne hundred Home Guards from Douglas County arrived at the Fort yesterday morning, in a starving condition, having travelled one hundred and ten miles, over a rough country, depending for subsistence on the rebellious inhabitants on the way. The men presented a unique and rough appearance. They carried every variety of arms — some flint locks and fowling pieces — several of which were captured from the secesh. These men were induced to come out of the wilderness for the purpose of joining Col. Boyd's regiment at St. Louis, and were under the direction of Capt. Martindale and Lieut. Adam. Capt. Martindale stayed behind at Coppidge's, and, laboring under a misunderstanding in regard to his statements, fifty-four of them joined Col. Phelps' regiment. When Martindale came up he protested, and claimed his men. The subject seemed to be rather a perplexing one to settle satisfactorily to all parties concerned. The party brought in Mick Yates, one of McBride's lieutenants, a prisoner.

Since that time it has been discovered that the battery is located at Boyd's. Hole, not over two miles from the point reached by the reconnoitring party. The battery mounts six heavy rifled guns, and the soldiers seen from the gunboat were three regiments advancing to its support. Had its location been known, it could and would lave been taken at the point of the bayonet, and its guns, as well as those of the three gunboats, turned upon the party advancing to its relief. This is the first time that any of the Excelsior regiments have been on Virginia soil, as t

Also, Major Carrick, with Company C, Third Illinois Caolonel John M. Glover, Major Carrick, Lieutenants Yates and Kirkpatrick, of the Third Missouri Cavalry; Colonel Birge, Captain Boyd, and Adjutant Temple, of Birge's Sharpshooters, and Lieutenant Edwin Moore, my aide. I also assure you that the men bing up with Major Temple, and uniting with Colonel Birge, soon rallied the whole line, and the fight became terrible. Captain Boyd, advancing from the right wing, poured in from the rifles, at every fire, messengers of death. Colonel Birge, with a y of victory, the whole line rushed forward, and the rebels fled in every direction. Colonel Birge pursued them, with Captain Boyd, for two miles, killing four, and taking five prisoners. The rebel battle-ground — what a sight! After they had ta
