the battle. But that one volley, while it annihilated the regiment, told also quicker than courier could carry the news the mistake that had been made, and that the enemy was upon us. Casey's force was turned out in a hurry and formed, and Col. Bailey, of New York, Casey's Chief of Artillery, had the enemy's line under his fire before it had gotten through the first wood, and before the line was completely formed. The Artillery. Spratt's battery, which was posted in a field to the ven the enemy three hours and a half of hard fight; he had lost by casualties nearly every fourth man that he had in the field — a large percentage. He had lost many of his best officers, including his gallant and capable Chief of Artillery, Colonel Bailey, and now at last, he was compelled, with a heavy heart, to relinquish the unequal struggle.

Lynchburg, July 30. --A special dispatch to the Republican, dated Narrows of New River, July 28th, via Dublin, July 29th, says: The gallant Major Bailey commanding four companies of cavalry, in all about one hundred and fifty men, sent to the rear of the enemy by Col. McCausland, stormed Summerville, the county seat of Nicholas, Friday morning at daylight, and killed and captured the entire gaoned officers, and sixty-two non-commissioned officers and privates, killing a large number. A few prisoners were paroled. Not being able to bring away the large quantities of commissary, quartermaster and ordnance stores found at the place, Major Bailey committed them to the flames. Major B. brought to this place a large number of Enfield rifles, horses and mules. The prisoners arrived this morning at the Salt Sulphur Springs. The notorious renegade and spy, Dr. Wm.

The cavalry Exploit in Nicholas county. The daring attack of Major Bailey, with a small squadron of cavalry, upon the garrison at Summersville, Nicholas county, was made in the morning at daylight, after our troops had traversed a long distance over the most rugged portion of our mountain country, and fully one hundred miles within the enemy's lines. The Federal were taken by surprise, but fought well for about two hours, when they displayed a white flag, laid down their arms, and surrendered unconditionally. Their loss in killed was eight, wounded twenty-five, and prisoners sixty-two. Of Major Balley's command not a man was killed, and only three slightly wounded. Ordnance and commissary stores were found in great abundance, all of which were destroyed except five hundred Enfield rifles, which were placed in wagons and safely brought back to the Salt Sulphur Springs. The notorious Dr. Wm. H. Rucker, who holds a Lieutenant Colonel's commission in the Yankee army, is reported t

Loring's quarters, on Monday last, with the prisoners, after five days absence and a travel of nearly 200 miles, going and returning, Major Bailey was most heartily congratulated by the General for his success. These are the first laurels won by Major Bailey in the cavalry service, having served heretofore in infantry, where he was highly esteemed for his gentlemanly and soldierly qualiMajor Bailey in the cavalry service, having served heretofore in infantry, where he was highly esteemed for his gentlemanly and soldierly qualities. In the same room with Col. Starr, at the time of his capture, was found secreted under a sofa the notorious Dr. Rucker, of Covington, Allegheny county, who was also taken, and a special guard placed over him for his safe-keeping. He is the same vile person who ran off to the Yankees in 1861, and who led them into his own county in their late raid in the month of May, when they burned the Virginia Central Railroad bridge over the Cow Pasture river, for the purpose, it is believed, of
