ds St. George, in Tucker county, which we entered early in the morning. [Here I would state, in the way of parenthesis, that it was the object of General G. to form a connection with Colonels Pegram and Heck, who were stationed at Rich Mountain, and move on Cheat Mountain, via Huttonsville; but the enemy, it seems, cut us off, and got between the two commands, and had our small force almost completely surrounded.] Thus, you will see, our command, composed of four companies of cavalry, Captain Shoemaker's Danville Artillery, Colonel William B. Tallaferro's 231 Regiment, Colonel Jackson's Regiment, Colonel Fulkerson's 37th Regiment, and the Georgia Regiment, Colonel Ramsey, and a small Battalion under Colonel Hansborough, all under the immediate charge of General Garnett, was forced to take the only route left us. We had proceeded on the road mentioned above for thirty-six miles, without eating or sleeping, except a short halt about midday, until Saturday morning, when our cavalry came

sey and others, who had an excellent of opportunity of arriving at something like a certainty. Yet a Richmond paper, I am sorry to observe, referred editorially to this engagement as unimportant, evidently believing the base, contemptible Yankee version. That reference was ungenerous, shameful, truckling, and unworthy a public journalist in the capital of the new nation. Because our mortality, owing to the excellent disposition of our troops, and the unerring aim of such men as Deshier, Shoemaker, and Massey, with our little six-pounders, was no greater, be seems to think that "something is rotten in Denmark," or that other men would have achieved a brighter success. He seems to forget that we had only 1,600 men reported for duty, and that the enemy's strength, as admitted by themselves, was 6,000; that they had eight cannon, some twelve-pounders, including one rifled piece, that becoming choked, was fire but once.
