hat the assault was made upon us by a force of one thousand, who had chosen their ground well. We routed them, taking four prisoners, beside the three who were founded. Among the wounded was a Captain Rust, since dead, late a Senator from Greenup County. Captain May was doubtless in command. List of the killed and wounded.--Co. A, Captain Gault, Col.
