John Coburn, Col. Thirty-third Regt. Ind. Vols. Cincinnati Gazette narrative. Camp wild Cat, October 23. If you look at a map of Kentucky, you will find that two roads lead from the bluegrass country --the heart of the State--toward Cumberland Gap. The one runs from Nicholasville, through Camp Dick Robinson, Lancaster, Crab Orchard, Mount Vernon, and Camp Wild Cat, to London, four miles this side of which place it is joined by the other route, leading from Lexington through Richmond. The first is a good turnpike road as far as Crab Orchard, eighteen miles from this camp. The other is an equally good road till it reaches the Big Hill, nineteen miles south of Richmond, when it becomes as hard a road to travel as ever Jordan was.

The other is an equally good road till it reaches the Big Hill, nineteen miles south of Richmond, when it becomes as hard a road to travel as ever Jordan was. On Monday evening, the 14th, the Seventeenth Ohio, Col. Connell, was quietly reposy, lying near London, and scouring the country with his cavalry, or by crossing mountains traversed by a single bridle path on the north side of the river. At Crab Orchard, eighteen miles toward Dick Robinson's, lay the Thirty-third Indiana, which could advance only by disobeying orders. Forty-five miles to the north was Gen. Th

the assistance possible, though that was necessarily a vague hope, as you will see what we had to do to fulfil it. Immediately after our arrival, Col. Garrard--a plain, earnest, brave, and cautious man, possessing all the virtues which belong to the Kentucky character, with none of those foibles which we of the North attach to it from our point of view — took us over his camp to see the situation of things. The strength of the position has been greatly over-estimated. After crossing Rockcastle River, the road ascends gradually, for about two miles, a wooded ridge, with steep sides, looking, on the west, toward the slightly-diverging river, and on the east, into a valley, broken by frequent spurs from the hills, heavily timbered for the most part with oak and pine. The highway then deflected from the river to the left, creeping around a frowning limestone cliff which sweeps, around in almost a semicircle, its face to the road, its back high and thick with evergreens, leaning on the

messenger dashed down the hill from Garrard's camp two miles distant. The sound of Zollicoffer's morning gun had not been a dream. Our pickets are driven in. The enemy is attacking. The long roll was beaten. In three minutes the regiment was in line of battle, and in a moment more the column was rushing up the hill at double quick, cheering as .though the victory was already gained. A messenger was despatched for the companies left with the wagons. They hastened on, rushing through Roundstone Creek, a stream over which I had swam my horse on Friday, and which was still so deep that the men had to lift their ammunition breast-high to keep it dry. Their comrades had done the same the day before. Before eleven o'clock the whole of the regiment was in battle array along the ridge by which the Winding Glades road crosses the valley, while Garrard's boys crested the cliffs from the Home Guard camp to our extreme right. Only a few Home Guards had held the Round Hill, and they had aband

But they had come to t across the swollen river, but with a Spartan resolution the brave Kentucky colonel resolved to defend his position to the last, against a foroon our camp fires were burning, and in kettles, borrowed from our Kentucky neighbors, we were preparing our breakfast. At four o'clock we as of death, till Garrard's men on the right raised a genuine old Kentucky yell, and then friends on the hill answered it, and then we joinedf the hill we found twelve hundred noble fellows, from Indiana and Kentucky regiments, which had held the ground so well in the morning, and te issues of the eat contest, and especially on the position of Kentucky.

t all danger was over. Before retiring, I walked with Colonel Connell and some others, over to the hill. The path was dotted every five paces by little groups of pickets, Capt. Butterfield's company of the Seventeenth, and an Indiana company. Three or four together they lay in the shadows of the great trees looking out sharply for the enemy, and whispering low to each other of what they would do should he come. On reaching the: top of the hill we found twelve hundred noble fellows, from Indiana and Kentucky regiments, which had held the ground so well in the morning, and the Seventeenth and Fourteenth Ohio. During the afternoon they had thrown up a timber work shoulder high, with trench and parapet, around a space of an acre and a calf, a work unparalleled except by that of the rest of the two Ohio regiments, which had thrown a well-constructed breastwork across the whole of the Winding Glades ridge, in addition to slaying more timber, as a Kentuckian said, than his whole State c

One day was spent in making the road passable, and on the 16th our brave boys this post, saying that Gen.

sounds which betokened a movement of Gen. Zollicoffer's army. It proved to be the retreat. From a prisoner I have ascertained that his command consisted of two Tennessee regiments, two Mississippi, and two Alabama regiments, together with a regiment of cavalry and a battery of six pieces of artillery. The number of our loss is a shower of bullets, which was answered by a deliberate volley from our boys, and the enemy broke and fled in confusion. Just at this moment, while the other Tennessee regiment was still attacking on the west side of the hill, I beard the band of our Seventeenth playing Hail Columbia behind me, and turning I saw a stir, and eagr General, on the morning of the battle, told them that they had nobody to fight but Garrard's six hundred measly men, who would run as soon as they heard a good Tennessee and Mississippi yell. On the whole they were rather astonished! There was no more fighting till two o'clock, when the second attack was made. The Mississipp

From the summits of the Round Hill we could see the lights of the enemy's camp-fires blazing in a narrow valley two miles away, in easy range for our artillery if it had been furnished with shell enough to experiment a little on the shattered nerves of the secessionists.
