t followed caused two of his regiments to retreat in confusion. Crittenden then brought up Carroll's brigade to the support of the other two, and ordered a general advance. Thomas met this by placing a section of Kenny's battery on the left of the 4th Kentucky, which was overlapped by Carroll's line, ordered the 12th Kentucky to the left of Kenny's two guns, and Carter with the two East Tennessee regiments, and Wetmore's battery still farther to the left, in front. of the Somerset road.

During these movements Kenny's section was so threatened that it was withdrawn some distance to the rear. There was little opportunity for the effective use of artillery on either side

a hay wagon, the only mode of locomotion we could find. Riding leisurely back, I heard more than once that an attack had commenced, but attached no importance to tho information. At the river I found the Ohio Fourteenth, Col. Steadman, and Captain Standard's battery of rifled guns about to cross. They had pushed from Camp Dick by forced marches since ten o'clock on Saturday. Coming on to camp, I found that there had been some picket firing, sure enough, and that two companies of the cavalre west side of the hill, I beard the band of our Seventeenth playing Hail Columbia behind me, and turning I saw a stir, and eager waving of hands, and caps thrown in the air, and in another moment greeted by such cheering as one seldom hears, Capt. Standard's artillery rushed up the hill, the horses at full gallop, their drivers urging them with whips and spurs and shouts, and after them at full run came the column of Col. Steadman's gallant Fourteenth. The regiment deployed to the left, occupy

To these excursions into the interior, of which this was the boldest, General Magruder determined to put a stop, and accordingly filled the place after the Yankees left with a few companies of his own troops. In addition to this, he determined to carry the war into the enemy's country, and on Wednesday last Standard's battery, of the Howitzer battalion, was ordered down to the church, where it was soon joined by a portion of Brown's battery of the same corps. The North Carolina regiment, under Colonel Hill, was also there, making in all about eleven hundred men and seven howitzer guns. On Saturday last the first excursion of considerable importance was made. A detachment of two hundred infantry and a howitzer gun under Major Randolph, and one of seventy infantry and another howitzer under Major La

was himself surprised by another who sent a shot through his coat; the Major, however, avenged himself on the interloper by shooting him dead. On the evening of the 24th, Gen. Lee arrived with four regiments and two pieces of cannon. Late on the 25th Gen. Wise received a communication from the Secretary of War requiring him to report immediately in Richmond, Having ordered Col. Henningsen to accompany him, he left camp Defiance for that city the same evening, with Majors Duffield and Standard, Captains Farish and Snead, and Lieut. Wise, of his staff. The position at camp Defiance, when Gen. Wise left, was defended by about 5,500 men and eleven pieces of cannon, (which, in 24 hours, would be reinforced to near 7,000 men,) commanded by Gen. Lee in person, who has vindicated Gen. Wise's military judgment by determining to try conclusions with the enemy in the positions selected by the latter.--They are doubtless impregnable, even by a force of 20,000 men.

Milburn, was expected to rendezvous yesterday, and another is expected to-day. The Hon. John J. Crittenden passed through Lexington on Thursday on his way to the mountains. The object of his visit will be to arouse the gallant mountaineers to take service in the Federal army. George P.

Captain Standard's battery, 1st Ohio artillery, which has been quartered in Cincinnati since Sunday evening, left for Kentucky Wednesday morning.

From the Peninsula. a Trip down the Peninsula and back — the Howzera — death of Capt. Standard and Reynold Kirb — throwing up breastworks, &c. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Yorktown, Va., Nov. 9, 1861. Called by the sickness of a relative from the calm quietude of our country home to mingle once more for a short time in the familiar, but stirring scenes of army life, we hasten to drop you a line; with the hope that our face will be recognized and welcomed by our former friends. At West Point we found the Logan totally disabled by the recent storm, and were thus forced to take passage with about forty others on board of a small sized river pungey or sloop. Our crew consisted only of a Captain, Crockett by name, and another, a son of Ham, whose Scriptural title, Lot, contrasted strangely with that of our Captain's. In a few minutes our canvas was spread and filled with propitious breezes, which bore us swiftly over the placid bosom of the bro<
