the Government of the United States; now, therefore, I, John Charles Fremont, Major-General Commanding the Western Department of the Army of the United States, by authority of law, and the power vested in me as such Commanding General, declare Frank Lewis, heretofore held to service or labor by said Thomas L. Snead, to be free and forever discharged from the bonds of servitude, giving him full right and authority to have, use, and control his own labor, or service, as to him may seem proper, wiwhatever to said Thomas L. Snead, or any one to claim by, through, or under him. And this deed of manumission shall be respected and treated by all persons, and in all courts of justice, as the full and complete evidence of the freedom of said Frank Lewis. In testimony whereof, this act is done at the Headquarters of the Western Department of the Army of the United States, in the City of St. Louis, State of Missouri, on the 12th day of September, A. D. 1861, as is evidenced by the Department

ry, under the immediate command of Lieut.-Col. Frank Anderson--who distinguished himself by the daring exploit of capturing Castillo, in Nicaragua, with forty-eight men, after Lockridge and Titus had failed with eight hundred--Capt. Imboden's, Capt. Lewis's, and Capt. Crane's University company were the companies engaged, with one six-pounder and one howitzer, under Major Gibbs, of South Carolina, Capt. McComas and Lieut. Pairo, of Richmond. The casualties were but trifling on our side, though we have to regret the death of Lieut. Howell, of Mississippi, (of Capt. McDonnell's company,) and that of one of Capt. Imboden's gallant rangers. Capt. Lewis was shot through the breast, but is doing well. Three privates were wounded in the above-named companies, one very severely. The only loss in the artillery was Lieut. Pairo's horse, shot under him. The enemy was obviously only feeling for the flanks of our position, and evidently could make nothing of it, and no wonder, as Prof. Snead

stating that he had been attacked, and needed assistance. I at once ordered Capts. Montgomery and Switzler forward at full speed to the relief of Major Bowen. I ordered the train corralled, and Captain Crockett to remain with his company to guard it until relieved by the infantry. I then despatched a courier to you for men to guard the train and support our cavalry; after which I went forward to the scene of action. I found Major Bowen some two miles forward, and one-half mile south of Mr. Lewis', on the Lebanon road. I immediately had a conference with Major Bowen, and we mutually agreed to the disposition of our forces and plan of attack. The rebels at the time occupied a high ridge immediately in our front, one-half mile south of us. The presumption was that we would have no immediate relief from the infantry in time to secure the rebels, and an immediate attack was resolved on. The disposition was as follows: Capt. Montgomery's company was already on the right, and ordered C

in the forehead and killed. The surgeon who attended the expedition, reported six or seven killed in the houses. The enemy retreated to his camp in the rear of the town, which Col. Burbridge immediately attacked, utterly routing the entire force, some four or five hundred in number; he took possession of the camp with equipage for five hundred men, and all their camp utensils; but as he had no means of transportation, the entire camp was burned. Two prisoners were taken, named Ives and Lewis, and brought to this city this morning; one of them from Alabama, one from Mississippi. One of them is reported to be a captain, the other a private. About the same time, Col. McHenry, with some two hundred men, made an attack on a camp of the enemy at or near Morgantown, and took five or six prisoners--how many were killed and wounded we did not learn. Col. McHenry lost one man, but drove the enemy off. About the same time, Capt. Neerer, who is stationed with a party of twenty men at Roch

architectural pretensions — and found that it had been used by the rebels for a hospital. There were three rebel soldiers there, two of whom were brothers, named Lewis and William Noble, and the other called himself James Darragh. William seemed to be very ill, almost at death's door, from the effects of typhoid fever, and LewisLewis, who had been nursing him, preferred to be taken prisoner rather than desert his brother. Of the other man I learned nothing. They were dressed in very dingy gray uniforms, and seemed not at all troubled at the fortune which had befallen them. The sick man said there was no medicine at the post, and he had suffered for the lackods of North Carolina, but coming down to Charleston some months ago, were impressed into the rebel service. Both admitted that they had had enough of secession. Lewis gave me some information respecting the number of troops at the post, and upon other subjects, which I have since had an opportunity of verifying. The fortifica

were not well off for provisions; all they could get was beef, but there is a mill in the vicinity, which they intended to set in motion and supply themselves with corn-meal. It was impossible to obtain any accurate account of the number of the dispersed rebels, but they were most effectually cleared out. Among the effects of Colonel Williams left behind at Pikeville, in his hasty retreat, was a letter from the Confederate Secretary of War, J. P. Benjamin, dated October 28th, introducing Mr. Lewis, a special agent for the Confederate Government, who would make a communication to Colonel W. about young Clay, in relation to which Colonel W. was to use his discretion. The Secretary was anxiously awaiting Williams' muster rolls, and stated that he had sent to him on the 27th a company of artillery with its battery, and would send him a regiment of armed Virginians to Prestonburg in a few days. From all we can glean, Cerro Gordo will not for the present have occasion for their use, as
