effectives for the raid, that he could only mount fifteen hundred men, and that our guards at weak points had been doubled. Our railroad was in working order on the 26th of January, and the part of the pontoon bridge ordered for us was on the road. General Jenkins was ordered with the leading division down towards Strawberry Plains to collect such material as he could, and be prepared to throw the bridge across the Holston as soon as it was up and ready for us. Notice was given General A. E. Jackson of indications of raids; to Captain Osborn, commanding scouts; to General Wharton; to Rucker's Cavalry Legion and Jones's cavalry; and General Vaughn was ordered to collect his command at Rogersville, to be prepared to threaten Cumberland Gap if the forces there should be reduced. Due notice was sent our outlying parties and scouts to be on the watch for the reported raiding parties, and the guards of bridges in our rear were reinforced. On the 6th of February, General Grant

Notwithstanding the evacuation of Knoxville and the abandonment of the country, except by the small f and demanded its surrender; when, upon refusal, they retreated toward Knoxville. Having learned the above facts, General Jackson, who was at Bristol with the principal body of his forces, with a regiment of Kentucky cavalry and some other forces Having now possession of the block house and the thick woods around it, the enemy resolved to make a bold stand. General Jackson at once ordered Colonel Giltner's cavalry to cross Limestone Creek to cut off the retreat of the enemy, while our arllery, and Lieutenant-Colonel Walker, with a detachment of Thomas's legion, were ordered from Jonesboro to reenforce General Jackson. After this fire had been opened some forty minutes, Colonel Haynes brought gallantly forward at a gallop Lieutenan

nel H. L. Giltner, of the Fourth Kentucky cavalry, met the enemy, and for three days and nights contested, with great energy, his advance; but his superior strength finally pressed the gallant Giltner and his men back on the salt-works. We had, by this time, collected a little less than seven hundred reserves, and a number of pieces of artillery. Colonel Trigg, of the Fifty-fourth Virginia, had volunteered his services, and was actively engaged in disposing of the forces, when Brigadier-General A. E. Jackson arrived. The enemy were now in our front in full force, with eleven regiments and eight pieces of artillery. The contest seemed almost hopeless, yet surrender would have been disgraceful. All the ammunition belonging to the six-pound guns, and much of that belonging to the small arms had been sent back the evening before, nine miles distant, to Glade Springs. It seemed almost madness to yield, and yet destruction to contend. This was early in the morning, before ten o'c

Twenty-ninth had, on the 13th of July, an all-day skirmish with gunboats. In the same month, the Sixtieth regiment was engaged in actions of some severity before Jackson. These regiments were greater sufferers from the hardships of campaigning than they were from battle casualties, as it was their lot not to be engaged during thi' legion) were engaged in the mountain fights in the summer and fall of 1863. Part of the time, Gen. Robert Ransom operated in some of the same territory. Gen. A. E. Jackson with Walker's battalion, portions of the Sixty-ninth North Carolina, and other troops, including artillery, routed and captured a Federal force, commanded by Colonel Hayes of the One Hundredth Ohio regiment, at Limestone bridge. After a reconnoissance made by Maj. W. W. Stringfield, General Jackson ordered an assault upon the blockhouse and brick buildings occupied by the Federals. Lieut.-Col. M. A. Haynes says in his official report: With a shout and a hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Fl

Arrests. A delegate from one of the Valley counties confirms as that a few days since the pickets by Gen. Jackson arrested some fifteen or twenty bunkards of the county of Rockingham who were endeavoring to make their escape through his line en route to Ohio. The members of this sect in Rockingham have for one time been suspected of disloyal proclivities and it was this suspicion that led to the arrest of the parties in question. They had will there eighteen fine horses, and on their about $.,000 in gold and silver. They was returned within the lines of the army of the Valley, where, at last accounts, they resheld in custody.

nt. He was mounted on a very fine mule, which he had stolen in the neighborhood. Battle Field Zollicoffer, Sept. 29th. This morning we are on the qui vive. Scouts brought in information that the enemy had fallen back from Bristol to Blountsville. We also have intelligence from Carter's Depot, Gen. Williams's headquarters, that the enemy are making a demonstration in his front. About 7 A. M. a courier came in and reported that our cavalry, 16th Georgia battalion, of Brig. Gen. A. E. Jackson's command, engaged the enemy just this side of Blountsville, and after skirmishing fell back in good order, with no casualties of consequence except Lt. Stallins, of co. F, 16th Ga. battalion. About S A. M. the enemy advanced, four regiments strong, both cavalry and infantry, from the direction of Blountsville, making a demonstration on our front and centre. About this time our artillery opened briskly on them, which checked their advance. Pretty soon the enemy opened with three

Jackson's force numbered only some 300 men — about thirty of which were cavalry, no artillery — but notwithstanding this be determined to fight them to thery, cavalry, and mounted infantry. It was the design of the enemy to capture Jackson and his little force, and come on up to Bristol and they would probably have da considerable rise in the Waraugs, which prevented their crossing, though General Jackson has said he could have whipped them anyhow. The enemy learning that JJackson had been reinforced, next day put out for Knoxville or Chattanooga, not having been heard of since, save to stop long enough on their march to bury some eight killed, and about the like number wounded. Our loss was only one killed. Had Jackson been detected, we have no doubt in the world but that the large Yankee-force a
