Col. Wade, commanding 1st brigade of Kelly's division, received a flesh wound in the thigh, not of a severe nature. A few were wounded in the 9th Kentucky, and we understand a small number were also wounded in the 1st brigade. The retreat was conducted by Lieut.--Col. Griffith, both Gens. Wheeler and Kelly being forced, in order to prevent capture, to take a different road. Both rejoined the command in the retreat that night, on the road to Tunnel Hill. The following night we returned to camps, near Tunnel Hill, wearied, hungry, and exhausted, having been absent three days, during which time we had traveled upward of seventy-five miles, over roads barely possible for man or horse to pass.--The entire expedition was a failure — complete and perfect in itself.

One instance in this connection is worthy of mention. Private Thos. B Adley, of Capt. Lawrence Jones's company, 9th Kentucky, lost his horse during the fight, and was captured by the 5th Ohio cavalry. Private Jos. Miller, of the same company, who, at the time, was a few yards in advance, wheeled his horse, charged the Yankees, reached Bradley, assisted him in getting behind him, (Miller,) and passed out under a shower of bullets, both reaching our lines in safety.

arleston, Tenn. A writer in the Atlanta Appeal, who was with the expeditions says: Accordingly, upon our arrival there, dispositions to that end, of the troops forming the expedition, were made in the following manner: The first brigade (Col. Wade's) occupied the extreme right of the line of battle, and, being dismounted, took a strong position upon the crest of a hill in front of and overlooking the town; the first, second, and ninth Kentucky regiments held the centre, and were posted iafety.

Kirkpatrick commanding, held the left of the line, on the north side of the railroad, with the advance line of skirmishers under the immediate charge of Capt. J. A. Cooper, of company D, and about six hundred yards from the right of the enemy's line; the second Kentucky battalion, Capt, was ordered, early in the day, to remain with the artillery, which it did, consequently did not participate in the affair.

A number of dismounted men, on reaching the line of horse holders, found their horses gone and themselves left on foot with the enemy's cavalry charging upon them. In this way nearly one hundred and fifty of our men fell into the hands of the Yankees. One instance in this connection is worthy of mention. Private Thos. B Adley, of Capt.

Wheeler's recent expedition to Charleston, Tenn. The recent expedition of Gen. Wheeler late Tennessee to intercept a train of one hundred and fifty wagons bound to Burnside's army; proved a failure. The train was successfully gotten across the Hiawassee river and out of Confederate reach, Gen. Wheeler then determined in attack the Yankee force at Charleston, Tenn. A writer in the Atlanta Appeal, who was with the expeditions says: Accordingly, upon our arrival there, dispositions to that end, of the troops forming the expedition, were made in the following manner: The first brigade (Col.
