. Again our right was charged and routed, compelling a general retreat; and again — having been driven back to his camp — Manson was trying to reform and make head, when, Gen. Nelson having reached the ground, the command was turned over to him, and another stand made near the town and cemetery, which was converted into a total rout in less than half an hour; Gen. Nelson being here wounded, as Cols. Link, 12th Indiana, McMillan, 95th Ohio, and other valuable officers, had already been. Lt.-Col. Topping and Maj. Conkling, 71st Indiana, had been killed. The rout was now total and complete; and, to make the most of it, Smith had, hours before, sent Scott, with his cavalry, around to our rear, with instructions to prepare for and intercept the expected fugitives. Manson, who had resumed command when Nelson fell, had formed a new rear-guard, which was keeping the Rebel pursuit within bounds; when, four miles from Richmond, the fleeing rabble were halted by a body of Rebel horse.

ng of the Seventy-first Indiana was killed while moving to the support of the Sixteenth, and bravely cheering on his men; and that very shortly afterward, Lieut.-Colonel Topping fell from his horse mortally wounded while encouraging the men of his command. The rebels seemed determined to turn my left flank, and I was compelled supply. The Fifty-fifth Indiana, Col. Mahan; the Sixteenth Indiana, Col. Lucas; the Sixty-ninth Indiana, Lieut.-Col. Korff, and the Seventy-first Indiana, Lieut.-Col. Topping, occupied prominent and exposed positions from the commencement of the engagement, and contended against the enemy with a determination and bravery worthy o fire, when they gave way and retreated up the hill. The Seventy-first came gallantly forward, led by Gen. Manson, and scarcely had they met the shock when Lieut.-Col. Topping, commanding, and Major Conkling were killed, and many of the officers of that regiment fell, one second lieutenant having about twenty bullets through him.

on every loyal citizen of Kentucky to rally to the defence of the State. A dispatch from Louisville, relative to the recent battle near Richmond, Ky., says the Union force numbered between 8,000 and 9,000. and that the fight was commenced by Gen. Nelson, driving the rebels back until about 4 o'clock P. M., when the rebels were largely reinforced, and, crossing the Kentucky river, they captured nearly all our artillery and routed our men. Federal loss reported at 150 to 200 killed and wounded. The rebel loss reported heavy. Gen. Nelson was wounded slightly, and Col. Warner, of the 18th Ky., and Col. Topping, of the 71st Indiana, killed. At Lexington, on the night of the 21st, the bells were all rung, and all the male citizens ordered out and slept on their arms, Maj. Gens. Wright and Wallance were at Lexington, and the Union men, it is stated, were fully prepared in case the rebels made an attack. Gen. Nelson left Louisville on route for Cincinnati, on the 1st inst.

opening all along the line. The 69th stood fast, and replied to the enemy furiously. But the enemy soon appeared in overwhelming force. It was obvious the splendid 69th must go down unless supported. The 71st Indiana, under the gallant Lieut. Col. Topping, was order up, but, through some misunderstanding, did not move according to direction. The 69th at last, pressed by irresistible force, gave way. The 71st now reached the proper point, but too late to save the 69th.--The enemy concentrated their fire on it. Lieut. Col. Topping's horse was now shot, and he soon fell dead while inspiring his command. Soon after Major Concklin also fell. By this time Gen. Cruft's three pieces of artillery had opened, at short range, with canister upon the enemy, and with cheering success, but the rebels pressed upon him so hardly that he was forced to order the pieces to retire in order to save them. Not long after the whole wing gave way, and the right followed, but in good order. Their offi
