The poor, miserable creature, whilst weltering in his blood, asked Smith if he was a Christian, and he replied, "I trust so;" "then, " said the man, " for God's sake, bring me a drink of water." This Smith hastened to get from the river close by, but whilst in the very act of attempting to drink he fell back and expired. Near the close of the engagement, whilst nobly contending against fearful odds, Dr. Aufaunton, of Baltimore, and Oswald Foley, of Fauquier, fell mortally wounded. John Ladd, of Missouri, also received a severe wound in the arm, near the shoulder, breaking the bone. He will, however, recover. At this point Col. Ashby, in a loud voice, gave an order for the reserve to be brought up, (but as they were fifteen miles off and not expected, they did not come.) to dismount and charge with the bowie-knife.

Soon after this division of his forces, Capt.

ore a general stampede took place, leaving as near as we could understand, from seventeen to twenty of their dead behind, and the island left in the immediate possession of the immortal little band of nine. Col. Ashby, (not knowing the fate of his brother,) and his command, immediately returned to camp for reinforcement, and again returned to bring away the bodies of the two noble patriots who had fallen in the fight.--Upon his return he found in a culvert, where he had been left for dead, Capt. Dick. Everything of any value, even his spurs, had been stripped off his person and carried away by the thieves. He was found to be badly wounded by a sabre cut over each eye, a thrust in the bowels, a deep cut in the arm immediately above the elbow, injuring the bone near the joint; he was also shot through the palm of one hand, and two fingers of the other mutilated by the passage of a ball of rather an inconvenient size. As may be supposed, when found he was much exliatristed, but he soon
