one gun on the other side of the river. Pleasanton then took all the infantry at the mouth of the Monocacy, with the exception of two companies, and made a general advance. The enemy then retreated toward White's Ford, keeping up a rapid fire all the time. Pennington's horses gave out, and the men were obliged to push the cannon up the hills. The enemy, owing to this delay, effected a crossing over the river. This was at half-past 1 o'clock P. M. He then received information from Colonel Ward of Gen. Stoneman's division, that a brigade of infantry and a regiment of cavalry, and a section of artillery were in the neighborhood. He sent word to the General that the enemy had escaped. This was the first intimation he had of troops being in that vicinity. General Pleasanton succeeded in driving the rebels from the mouth of the Monocacy to White's Ford, a distance of three miles. The General is of the impression that had White's Ford been occupied by any force of ours previous

e the centre of the city, in support of Dickinson's battery. On the morning of December eleventh, when the contest commenced, we numbered two hundred and thirty-eight enlisted men and sixteen commissioned officers for duty, under command of Major J. E. Ward. At a point near our camp the work of laying a double pontoon-bridge was commenced before day-light on the eleventh, but when about half completed the engineers were driven away from their work by the fire of the enemy's sharp-shooters, whoved the order to halt behind title crest of tile hill, and remained in this place lying on our arms until morning, when we were ordered to return to the city and resume our former position in Caroline street. On the morning of the fifteenth, Major Ward was compelled to retire from the field on account of illness, and the command of the regiment devolved upon Capt. H. M. Hoyt. About eleven A. M. on the fifteenth, the regiment was ordered to the front of our lines to strengthen and extend the

but it is stated by our scouts, who came into Bristol on Tuesday night, that they were retreating over nearly the same route they had advanced. The distance from the point at which they entered the State line to Jonesboro, is between ninety and one hundred miles, and the raid is certainly a most daring one, and argues an audacity in the enemy which they were not supposed to possess. They are reported to have been piloted by a militia colonel of Washington County, Tennessee, by the name of Ward, who left his home on Friday, and met them at the mountains. The damage to the railroad is serious, as, beside burning the bridges named, the track is torn up in many places, and the sills and iron burned. The distance between the Watauga and Holston Rivers is nine miles, and the burning of the bridges across these streams involves a loss of that distance in our railroad communications. It will take several weeks to repair the damages, and they come at a time when the road is taxed to it
