The fighting was mainly done by Rosse and division, formerly Mitchell's. Col. George Webster, of the 98th Ohio, acting Brigadier of the 34th brigade, was severely wounded Firing ceased about seven o'clock on the evening at the 8th. A doubtful rumor says that at the close of the engagement the rebelshad before seen of the mighty armies of the republic, I confess I was astonished, as for three hours I remained and watched the apparently interminable columns of men and endless trains of wagons moving by. At first, the column formed by Gen. Mitchell's division, which came into the pike by the Shepardsville road, moved along the turnpike, wagons and all, parallel with the other column formed by the great body of the two corps.

The former may be dismissed with the remark that, in looks, at least, they were dubious and uncertain; the women's charms, if they ever had any, had long since faded. These pariahs of society had played out evidently in the more aristocratic haunts of vice. They gave the names of Maggie Mitchell, Alice Hawkins, Maria Gary, Elizabeth Valentine, Wm. Conly, Jno. Kelly, and Wm. Connaway. The latter was also charged with being the abductor of a horse belonging to Mr."Boze, worth $200.
