The battle on Greenbrier riverinteresting and authentic particulars.[Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] October 5, 1861.
A great battle was fought here on the 3d instant, between our forces, under Gen. Jackson, and the enemy.
As soon as it was known that the enemy intended to attack us in force, we were ordered to take our positions on our line of defence.
The whole were under the command of Gen. Jackson; Col. Johnston, of Virginia, commanding the 12th Georgia regiment, comman gallantry, as did Lieut. Col. A. G. Taliaferro, commanding the 23d regiment, his officers and men. We predict for Cols. Scott and Taliaferro a brilliant military career.
Too much praise cannot be awarded to Capts. Shumaker, Rice, Deshier, Anderson, Lieut. Wooding, Sergeant Jones, and private Brooks, of Capt. Rice's company.
Captain Rice, while nobly encouraging his men, had his leg carried away by a round shot.
Our loss was small, and that of the enemy was very great.
