Rebellion Record: a Diary of American Events: Documents and Narratives, Volume 3. (ed. Frank Moore), Doc. 71. fight near Hillsboro, Kentucky, October 8, 1861. (search)
. Lieutenant Sadler and Sergeant Dudley were despatched immediately, at the head of fifty Home Guards, to intercept them. We found the enemy encamped about two miles beyond Hillsboro, in a barn belonging to Colonel Davis, a leading traitor in this county. Our men opened fire upon them, causing them to fly in all directions. The engagement lasted about twenty minutes, in which they lost eleven killed, twenty-nine wounded, and twenty-two prisoners. We took, also, one hundred and twenty-seven Enfield rifles, besides a large number of sabres, pistols, bowie knives, and cavalry accoutrements. Our loss was three killed and two wounded, as follows: James B. Davis, Julius Herrick, Charles Burnes, killed; and Thomas B. Smith, (banker,) S. Saloman, wounded. The prisoners were brought to this place and forwarded to Camp Kenton, under guard. The Maysville Home Guards were ordered to assist us, but they arrived too late. Yours, &c., John G. Baxter. P.

as chased by a mounted officer while he was assisting one of the wounded Wisconsin boys off. He turned and shot his pursuer through the breast. The officer proved to be Colonel Ashby, the commander of the rebels, which accounted for the lull in the battle alluded to. We have since learned that he was not killed, but will probably have to keep in the house for some time. There were many other similar scenes. We have heard there were one hundred and fifty of them killed and wounded. The Enfield rifle is the piece that tells. I heard one of the rebels exclaim: I wish to God we had their guns! We found the men they had killed in their charge upon the Wisconsin Company A, stripped and stabbed through and through with bayonets. That is the way they desecrate the dead. So much for the chivalrous Virginians! We vowed vengeance if we ever met with them again. We camped upon the field, lying down just as we were, and it needed no rocking to put us to sleep. At midnight we were ar

s of war. Vengeance on the heads of those who initiate it. I directed my attention up the hill; a little puff of smoke was dying away: Boys, say I to the squad of his fellows, you see that smoke, aim for it, a rebel's in its rear, I raised my Enfield, and glanced through its sights, when I for a moment caught sight of a man through the bushes and smoke there. Crack went our guns, and all was over. (We crossed to the place afterward, and found the man's body; he had four out of twelve musket balls, and one Enfield rifle ball — mine, as mine was the only rifle ball fired. They all went through him; either of which would have killed him — mine through his breast. Thank God, I had done my duty for the poor fellow who fell beside me.) Now the firing grew weak, so I went up the road and found Henry, and we, with John How, second lieutenant of Company A, with some forty skirmishers, took a little reconnoissance up the creek, (Ivy Creek.) We caught sight of six or seven rebels ru

fifty men yet in camp, was completely surprised by seven hundred cavalry, under command of Jenkins, the guerilla chief, and cut to pieces or captured, with the loss also of about thirty horses, a small stock of Government stores, and two hundred Enfield rifles. The dead and wounded on either side could not be clearly ascertained, but supposed to be ten or twelve killed, and twenty or thirty wounded. The enemy captured seventy prisoners, and their loss in killed and wounded was equal to, if nots places of making stands, made a gallant resistance of over an hour, pouring a dreadful fire in upon their assailants in the streets. From their scattered condition at the onset, probably not many over one hundred Union men got to their guns — Enfield rifles, but those that did, fought desperately against four to one, and they only gave up the fight, at last, when overwhelmed by the superior numbers. There was a sanguinary struggle at the bridge over the Guyandotte River, and those who hav

r. The rebels then stacked their arms, after a fashion, and were formed in line and marched between two files of our infantry, the Eighteenth and Twenty-fourth Illinois, with all the honors of war. Col. Davis immediately sent despatches to General Pope announcing his success, and as night was upon us the plunder was hastily stowed into wagons, and we commenced the march for camp. The spoils, as nearly as could be learned in the confusion, consisted of one thousand guns, of all kinds, from Enfield to common shot-guns, a few pistols, a few sabres, and a small stock of clothing. In their wagons were found jars of apple butter and fruit cakes, undoubtedly designed as presents from loved ones at home for the chivalrous soldiers in the woods. Hams, pork, flour, corn meal, and harness were also stowed away in their wagons. The result of the firing could not be precisely ascertained, as it was getting dark, and the principal firing occurred in the woods. One of the rebels was killed nea
