McClellan of a thousand of our forces, several guns, and two hundred killed, including Gen. Garnett among the dead. This would argue a bloody fight and a desperate res tidings be true, the primary cause of this calamity to our forces would seem to have been a zig-zag march over Rich Mountain, in the night, by a few thousand of McClellan's command, by which Col.
