sting of only one hundred and fifty men yet in camp, was completely surprised by seven hundred cavalry, under command of Jenkins, the guerilla chief, and cut to pieces or captured, with the loss also of about thirty horses, a small stock of Governmemade of leading secessionists, among them H. H. Miller, who had been for some time with the rebel army, and came in with Jenkins and got trapped at home; E. A. Smith, who was seen firing with a revolver on our soldiers in the street; John S. Everettfourths of it, burnt up. All the stores, the hotel, and the finest dwelling houses, are in ashes. It is supposed that Jenkins went with his force to his own plantation, as the next night his warehouse was thrown open, a large fire burning in fronundant evidence of his gallant conduct in the fight. About eight o'clock in the evening the rebel guerilla cavalry of Col. Jenkins, in force estimated from four hundred to eight hundred--very good authority puts it at eight hundred, but probably fou

By naming next in order Lieut. Jenkins, who, with a model soldier, First Sergeant Craven, defended in Captain Gifford's absence the name with the honor of the Rifles of Cameron, I postpone to the last my mention of Captain William T. Blanchard, and his McKean Rifles. There is not a more fearless spirit than Captain Blanchard in the service; his ringing voice was heard above the fire when it was hottest. It was from the McKean Rifles that I detailed Lieut. Rice to defend Thornton's house, when I perceived we held the key of
