How Zollicoffer was Killed.--Mrs. Fry, wife of Col. S. S. Fry, of the Fourth Kentucky regiment, received a letter at Danville, from Col. Fry, written after the battle near Somerset.
He details in the letter the manner in which he killed Gen. Zollicoffer, which varies somewhat from the many statements we have seen.
Col. Fry was in the act of leading his regiment into a charge upon the Mississippians, when Gen. Zollicoffer, accompanied by his aid, rode up to him and said: You are not going to fight your friends, are you?
These men (pointing to the Mississippians) are all your friends.
In the mean time Zollicoffer's aid fired upon Col. Fry, wounding his horse, from which wound the animal died.
Col. Fry then turned and fired upon Zollicoffer with fatal effect.
Gen. Zollicoffer evidently labored under the impression that Col. Fry was a rebel officer.
The stories about the old intimacy of the two officers are all untrue.
They had never met before, nor did Col. Fry know the rank o

Incidents of Mill Spring.--A gentleman direct from the vicinity of Somerset, informs us that there were eleven of the Tenth Indiana killed, ten of the Second Minnesota, eight of the Fourth Kentucky, eight of the Ninth Ohio, and one or two of the Wolford cavalry.
The Michigan Engineer and Mechanics' regiment dug trenches and buried the dead, the funeral service having been appropriately performed on the occasion.
Wounded prisoners state that there was no general enthusiasm, but that the growing discontent induced Gen. Zollicoffer to make a speech to his troops the day before he led them to battle, in which he declared with emphasis, that he would take them to Indiana, or go to h--1 himself!
After Col. Fry's horse was shot and disabled, he mounted the splendid gray charger which Zollicoffer had ridden.
As the Federal army advances, the Union people creep out of their holes and hiding-places, and evince the most frantic delight; they are eager to receive arms and to be marched again

Crittenden's Retreat.
Somerset, Feb. 13.--I have just returned from Albany, and receiving a very graphic account of the enemy's retreat or flight from Mill Springs, after the battle of Logan's Field, by a lady living on the road a short distance above Monticello, I send you her statement.
Early on Monday morning they commenced passing along the road and through the fields, some riding, some on foot.
Some wagons had passed during the night.
All who could seemed inclined to run. In a lot near by, some three hundred horses belonging to the tories had been kept to feed and regain strength, as they were in a very bad condition.
During the forepart of the day, men passing on foot had taken every horse, often without bridle or saddle; at times a string was used in place of bridles.
Not a horse was left along the road.
One of their wagons would be passing along a high road; any one who would come along would cut a horse loose, mount and away.
Another would follow suit, until the

A Patriotic Family.--Judge S. A. Foot, of Geneva, N. Y., has three sons in the war, battling for the Union.
The eldest, John, is captain of company I, Second Minnesota, and was in the hottest of the fight near Somerset.
The whole regiment was complimented by their commander, for their gallantry during the severe and close engagement in which they took part.
The second son, Samuel C., is master's mate on board the gunboat Stars and Stripes, flag-ship of the second naval division in the battle of Roanoke Island.
He discharged the responsible duties of signal-officer during the fight — a position requiring great coolness and courage.
The third son, Alfred, went out with the famous Seventh regiment, on the opening of the war, and was subsequently appointed first lieutenant in the Fourteenth regular infantry.
He is fully imbued with the patriotic spirit of his brothers.
It is an honor to be the father of such sons.
