d ourselves for the night. At two A. M., Friday, the seventeenth, boot and saddle sounded, and at three A. M. our column was in motion. We crossed the Tug range of mountains and met the Tug Fork of Big Sandy, continued down the creek to near Abb's Valley, where we learned the rebel Colonel Beckley was organizing a battalion at Camp Pemberton, under Captain Stoting. The rain came down in torrents, drenching all to the skin. No one, except they that have travelled through the mountains of Virgf one captain and thirty-five men; but one escaped, who was then on horse. We went ahead, and began to move more rapidly until within five miles of Jeffersonville, the county-seat of Tazewell County,where we encamped for the night. Through Abb's Valley the scenery beggars description for beauty. As far as the eye can reach stretch, in every direction, hills and vales. The country is rich, owned principally by wealthy citizens, who were very influential in bringing about the rebellion, livi

uently the main part of the town was fired and reduced to ashes. One short bridge and a culvert on the railroad were destroyed by order of Lieutenant-Colonel Franklin, left in command by the death of Col. Toland and Col. Powell's wound. By eight o'clock--the fight having lasted an hour and a half--the rebels were driven from every part of the town. Information soon came from the rear that a force of three hundred cavalry had attacked our rear guard and recaptured the prisoners taken at Abb's Valley, together with several of our men, including Capt. Cutter, of the Thirty-fourth. By this time the detachment which had been sent to the Mount Airy Depot returned and reported that a force of 300 rebels occupied the place, and that the bridge over Reed Creek was strongly guarded. After consultation it was deemed advisable to draw off the command, and at 3 o'clock A. M., July 19, the return march was commenced. At Queen's Knoll, twelve miles from Wytheville, having learned that the e

purpose. It is said that they would have eluded the military who were in search of them had it not been for a patriotic old lady who piloted our forces to their whereabouts in the mountains. Our men came upon them while they were preparing breakfast; and not withstanding the fact that the enemy were only armed with navy shooters, they showed fight and wounded a militiaman severely in the thigh, at a distance of one hundred and seventy five yards. The number now reported in Abb's Valley, Tazewell county, is estimated from 5,000 to 7,000, though I am inclined to the belief that this is an exaggeration. The militia are wide awake in the Southwestern counties, and will do efficient service in keeping off these raiders. It is said that on last Sunday every man and boy who could raise a shot gun and an old squirrel rifle was out on the scout. Local affairs in this city are quiet. In a military point of view, we are getting to be pretty well organized, and have regular drills
