Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 8. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Sixty-nine Federals in sight of their army captured by Seven Confederates.
Sixty-nine Federals in sight of their army captured by Seven Confederates.
[The following incident is sent us by Captain J. H. Carter, of Lexington, Kentucky, who got it at the time from the participants and other eye-witnesses, and vouches for its accuracy.
We should be glad to receive and publish many well authenticated incidents of the prowess of our gallant boys in gray. ]
During the retreat of the Confederate army from Kentucky (Bragg's invasion), in the fall of 1862, Colonel Basil W. Duke's regiment of Morgan's cavalry was left, by order of General Kirby Smith, at Falmouth to guard the roads and watch the approach of the Federals, then advancing in large numbers from Cincinnati, Ohio, into the State--the Covington and Georgetown turnpike being their centre line of march.

O'Hara and his Elegies. By George W. Ranck, Lexington, Kentucky.
We are indebted to the accomplished author for a copy of this beautful little volume, which is in every sense a literary gem.
The biographical sketch of O'Hara, tracing his life from his birth in Danville, Kentucky, through his career as politician, editor, soldier, in Mexico and in the Confederate service (where he served with great distinction as Colonel of the Twelfth Alabama regiment, and on the staff of General Albert Sidney Johnston and General John C. Breckinridge), and his career after the war until his death in 1867, is admirably done, and shows the author a master of this style of writing.
And no competent critie can read the two exquisite poems given as specimens--The bivouac of the dead and The old Pioneer--without pronouncing them gems of the first water, and concurring with Mr. Ranck in the very high estimate he places upon the genius of the author.
