BATTLE OF PRESTONSBURG.
AN INTERESTING ACCOUNT.
Although the following letter has from some
derangement of the mails been delayed to this
late day, yet there are some facts contained in it
which have not heretofore been made public, and
which will be found interesting to the reader. 1
Richmond. JJispaIch.
Camp on Bkatxr Caxuc, l
, 54th Reg't Va. Vols., Jan. 12. f
Editors of the Dispatch : The first brigade cf
I the Army of Eastern Kentucky, under the com-
mand ot uen. ii. aiarsnan, engagea me enemy
on the 10th inst., at Middle Creek, io Floyd coun
ty. The enemy's forces were commanded by
Col. Garfield, from Ohio ; and I understand was
somposed .of two Ohio regiments, one Indiana
regiment, and a Kentucky regiment the latter
under the command of Col? A. Moore. The
trength of the enemy is x estimated at from four
thousand to forty five hundred men. Our brig-
4tb,) Col. Mooro'fl battalion ; Col. William's
Kentucky regiment, and Capt. Jennea's Battery
of four field pieces. The whole force on our 6ide,
including sick, did not amount to over twenty
two hundred men!
The force engaged on the day of the battle was
about one thousand strong. Col. Trigg's regiment
not being engaged, but held in reserve to protect
our bnttery. Col. Moore's men and those of Col.
Williams's were first assaulted by the enemy at
one o'clock, their commands having first been
deployed as skirmishers across the crest o I a moun
tain, the battery being placed in a narrow defile,
so as to command the entraco to the narrow val
ley in our front, and which was held by the ene
my. .The enemy attempted to storm the height,
upon which Col. Moore and Col. Williams were
placed, for the purpose' of turning our battery,
but were three times repulsed and driven back by
the girilant and brave men under their command.
The battle lasted from one to six o'clock P. M.,
and w'it,h ihe exception of about twenty minute9,
raged with unabated fury. Both parties fought
with great energy until darkness closed in, and
the enemy, seeing Col. Trigg's Regiment advance
for the purpose of reinlorcing our men, retired
from the He'd. The enemy sheltered himself be
bindapine thicket,and from which he could not bo
dislodged by the men opposing him. Gen. Mar
shall ordered Col. Trigg to reinforce Williams
and Moore, and to drive the enemy from the pine
thicket. Col. Trigg at once marched his Rngi
meni to the top of the mountain, and selected the
"Montgomery 7th" and a company commanded
by Capt. Burwell Akers, from Floyd county, and
placing them under the command of Capt. James
C.Taylor, directed him to perform the bloody
job. The enemy, however, abandoned the point
before Capt. Taylor reached it, and gave up tbe
field. Our loss in this engagement summed up as
fallows : Uf Colonel Moore's men, five were
killed and six wounded ; of Colonel Williams's
men, six were killed and seven were wounded.
The loss of the enemy could not bo less than
three hunered. A gentleman has just arrived
from l'rostonsburg, who reports that they lost, in
killed, wounded, and mi36ing, one thousand men.
Wo are informed that theyiuimedialely retreated
back to Paintville, and thore reported that they
had lost but one man killed and two wounded.
Their report is false, and calculated to deceive
ihir own people. Uur position was snch as to
enable us to overlo k them, and it makes my
heart ncLe when I thuikol the number of human
souls who wero hurried into eternity on that day.
It is no disparagement of their bravery for me
t record the above facts: fjr 1 must say .they
fought long and fought, well, but certainly per
sisted in what they could not accomplish i. e.,
to drive us from our posmon. We had been
falling back from Painlsville for several days, be
We learn that it is the in ten tion of the inventor,
Mr. Utley, of North Carolina, to make Borne
further improvement upon! the gun, which being
completed, he thinks wijl render it a maner
piece of artillery. jVbrbffc Day Book. j :

cause we could not subsist our men ; and they, 1
suppose, conceived tbe idea that we were retreat
ing Irom them. But to tneir sorrow did tney
find themselves mistaken, when they encountered
us. If we had had one meals' victuals for our
men, we would have driven them back with
grea. slaughter, but, owning to tbe great scarcity
of supplies here, General Marshall has been com
pelled gradually to witndraw iromtne . country.
Our men had been compelled to subsist upon five
meals in seven days whan the fight commenced,
and many of them fought that day who had not
had a mouthful to eat for twenty-four hours. In
order to subsist this Brigade, Gen. Marshall is
compelled to daily detail men ironu-his command
to go into the corn fields, to shuck ihe corn, shell
it, carry it to the mills, have it ground, and then
to pack it on horseback, to the men.
.. The roads were awful, the country barren and
mountainous. I have olten seen the General in
ihe mud superintending the movement of his
wagons, and so bad are the roads that he can
rarely ever move over from two to three' miles
per day. I therefore assert the proposition that it
is madness and folly to keep, or attempt to keep,
this command here any longer it cannot be
subsisted, and unless tbe War Department intends
to sacrifice our health and lives to no purpose., it
should speedily withdraw us from here. We
are worn out with exposure and toil. Humanity
Bays let us return.
Yours, &c, Vkto.
SUDDENLY WALKED UP.
Not long ago, there was published in this pa
per a revolutionary reminiscence, wherein allu
sion was made to the sufferings of Geo. Greene's
army, in the early struggle for independence, foi
tbe want of suitable clothing, which in many in
stances rendered the men unfit for service. It
chanced that a copy of the paper fell into the
hands of a wealthy citizen of Alabama, who had
previously resisted all the appeals of patriotism
to his purse. We don't know h w it cp,ened
that he put such a novel interpretation Uion the
revolutionary article, but after be got through he
exclaimed, "By Jove 1 that will never do in the
world !" So he collected together a considerable
quantity of clothing and other article! requisite
for toe comfort ot tne soldier, ana packing tne
whole securely, directed tbe box to "General
Greene of the Confederate Army" and started
it otf to Richmond. It arrived here in due lime,
and as a matter of course the depot agent was
somewhat puzzled to find General Greene " but
it was finally turned over to ih military author
ities, who distributed the contents where it was
needed. Whether1 the Alabamiah had be in
asleep ever since the revolutionary war or not,
we don't undertake to say; but we give him cre
dit for doing a good thing, ven though we could
not help laughing when we heard the story, w
