Doc. 71. fight near Hillsboro, Kentucky, October 8, 1861.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, gives the following account of this affair:
Flemingsburg, Kentucky, October 9, 1861.
Our town was the theatre of great excitement yesterday evening, upon the arrival of a messenger from Hillsboro, stating that a company of rebels, (three hundred strong,) under command of Captain Holliday, of Nicholas County, were advancing upon Hillsboro, for the purpose, it is supposed, of burning the place, and also of attacking this place.
Lieutenant Sadler and Sergeant Dudley were despatched immediately, at the head of fifty Home Guards, to intercept them.
We found the enemy encamped about two miles beyond Hillsboro, in a barn belonging to Colonel Davis, a leading traitor in this county.
Our men opened fire upon them, causing them to fly in all directions.
The engagement lasted about twenty minutes, in which they lost eleven killed, twenty-nine wounded, and twenty-two prisoners

In a few moments the drums beat for every man to rally, and though the companies at present together assembled under arms in pretty quick time, they had scarcely received an order before the tents were almost entirely surrounded by the enemy, who had left the opposite shore about midnight, in large force crossed over to Santa Rosa in boats, rafts, and scows towed by small light-draft steamers, landed about two miles up the island, and then marched down to our encampment.
On their way to our quarters they were first hailed by one of our picket-guard, who, getting no friendly response, fired into them after giving the proper alarm, and then fell insta

The following letter, written on board the United States steamer Powhatan, gives an account of the vigorous pursuit of the Sumter, and of her dodges, escapes, and depredations:
United States ship Powhatan, St. Thomas, October 9, 1861.
sir: As everything relating to the privateer steamer Sumter is at this moment particularly interesting to the mercantile community, some intelligence of the doings of that vessel and her supposed movements at present may be welcome to those who have vessels and property on the ocean.
It may not be known to you that, while lying at the Southwest Pass, (mouth of the Mississippi,) on the 13th of August, the look-out at the mast-head descried the masts of a vessel, about twenty miles off, bearing N. W. It being late in the evening, nothing could be done; but at early daylight the captain sent off an armed boat, under command of Lieutenant Queen, with orders to steer N. W. until he made a vessel under sai
