kees were found close to our tents, who are said to have been shot by a sick man lying in one of them. Many of our men had bullet-holes through their clothing, and it is miraculous that our list of killed and wounded is so small. Fifty-five of the enemy were buried by our men, and some of them recognized as Union men from Marion County, by their old neighbors. It is stated by one who saw a good many of the dead Hessians, that none of them were shot lower than the breast, and many through the heart. A little hero named Musgrove, from Ritchie County, was shot through the arm by a man concealed behind a log. He immediately got a friend to load his musket, and, jumping over a pile of brush, shot the rascal who had wounded him, and secured his oil-cloth coat, with a name on it. Every account which we have seen concurs in representing the rout of the enemy to have been complete, though it is not probable that we shall ever learn his actual loss. --Richmond Dispatch, Dec. 23.

correspondence of the Richmond Dispatchthe oil region — Polics --Fine country — Need of enterprise, &c., &c., Parkersburg, Va. March 21, 1861. I wrote you, some days ago, from "Three Forks," in Roane county; gave you some account of the "Oil Wells," the improvement in the country since my visit, three years ago, and some information in regard to the political sentiments of the people. Since then, I have ridden about 200 miles, throughout Wirt, Roane, Wood, Ritchie and Jackson counties, and have not failed, I think, in any instance, when occasion offered, to follow up these investigations. Almost every stranger in the country is regarded as an "oil man," "prospecting," as they call it; and when I tell you that I, too, have taken a "lease," and might have been seen, more than once, examining the banks of creeks, and discussing, from house to house the "oil fever," you might think the charge a true one; yet, that was not the object of my visit altogether.
