After getting a pilot and guide, and steaming up the Ohio a short distance, we returned and went up to what is called the Old Forge, where we left the boats for a march of nine miles into the country to attack an encampment of rebels.

The troops were disembarked and proceeded to Saratoga, a few miles from Eddyville, where a fine cavalry company of Kentuckians, just formed by Captain Wilcox, were encamped, completely surprising and putting them to rout, and killing and wounding, it is supposed, some twenty-five or thirty of their number. The others fled, and several of them had arrived at Hopkinsville, where our informant saw them. Some of them had their clothes actually riddled with balls, while their persons miraculously escaped injury. The pursuit was continued by the Yankees about two miles. Captain Wilcox was hit with a ball on the forehead, and although believed to be seriously, if not mortally, wounded, managed to ride two miles on his horse, and it is thought escaped the enemy. There were only about seventy-five of Capt. Wilcox's men in camp. They were surprised while

red the men to fire, then began the fun. The enemy rushed to the roadside and hills, and turned and fired upon our troops. Buckshot and balls flew thick and fast. Wherever the shot fell thickest, there was the major, cheering on his men. Capt. Keiffner, of Company B, Ninth Illinois regiment, led the advance, and truly may he be said to have led, for he was the first to reach the encampment. He was slightly wounded by a pistol-ball, which your correspondent quickly avenged by sending one of Colt's pills through the head of his assailant. Too much cannot be said in praise of Capt. Armstrong and Capt. Robinson, and the officers and men under them. They were mostly raw troops, but behaved like veterans. And I feel proud to belong to the same brigade. Gen. Paine's son accompanied the expedition, and was under fire, cheering the men, and pointing out to our sharpshooters the flying rebels. It is impossible to say how many are killed.

Private Grubbing, of Company B, was shot in the groin; a private of Company K in the arm, just as he had brought down his man. Several sharpshooters of the enemy tried their han
