WAsumaTcra, Dec. 23,1861.
I liteia lAds staying over at Lungley's for the
last day or two, the guest of a good friend, as
modest as he is bravo. I cannot repress a foud-
IMES for the place—and I would not be a reuusyl
vent= if such a thing were possible. There is
nothing. very attractive about it. Under the most
favorable circumstances, I vrtnldn't choose it for &
Summer Tesidenee, and sines the soldiers have
made fuel out of the fence-rails, and overrun the
fields, it has a bleak and dry look, as thoiigh beauty
had seceded from Nature, and the charms of that
romantic dame were withered and unattractive.
There was a pretty cedar grove up on a hill., where,
it la said, two vindictive and love-smitten young
midshipmen went out to fight, twenty years ago,
one of them receiving a bullet in his heart and
dying under its foliage, the other living a weary
end miserable life, conscious that ha had appeased
his wounded honor and murdered his friend. I
took a fancy to the grove, and often looked at it
admiringly, as it crowned the sunsuit of a pretty
bill, and kept the sunshine from Col, Taggart'S
brave boys, who nestled on the idopa. Bat 14,,!
there no poetry in was? The wintry days - ,
came rapidly, and the boys hegatl Oro/ Tory cold;
and the tall cedars, one by one, came down, until
now they have passed into huts and ashes, nourish
many a shivering guard, and keep away the snow
and the rain and the tempest. Then there is the
tent-life It is difficult to become reconciled to
six feet by eight, and canvas overhead, and yet the
gays like it, and they look brown and lusty, and
have excellent appetites, and are in good fighting
trim. I wish you could have taken dinner with
me to-day, or, rallies, I wish you had been my
fellow-guest. The table was a box, which bore
presumptive evidences of having once ()contained
glass, for there were large black letters under the
oofiee-eau expressive of a desire to be kept "this
side up, with care." The tablecloth? Well, don't
speak of it. Two knives and one fork, and the
fork evidently deserving a pension fur Amg and

I have been a great deal among the boys since
the engagement at Loranesville, on Friday. They
are in great glee, and are full of narratives of the
day, its dangers, disasters, and glory. The camps
axe filled with trophies of the field—knapsacks,
cartridge-boxes, cartridges, bullets, canteens, bayo
mta, lettkta, diaries, coats, clothing, battens, caps,
guns, fragments of a gun-carriage, which was
hewed away after the rebels fled ; pieces of shell,
and in fact every possible object which could be
consorted into a xnemauto. A priyato in ike

than purse, snapping the steel clasps, bending a
five-dollar gold-piece like a thimble, and lodging
in the fleshy part of the body. The resistance of
the metal impeded the progress of the ball, and
thereby saved his life, for it was subsequently re
moved, and the soldier is doing well. There
were other incidents equally as miraculous, and
aeon , corporal's guard Las a hero. The llueittatls
are in fine spirits, and claim the glories of the con
flict. They are proud of their commander—the
"fighting colonel," as they fondly I
called in to see him last evening. He was alone
in his tent, reclining on a buffalo robe, with a mass
of papers at his side. I had seen him in the early
part of the week, full of life, and health, and vigor,
but his wound in battle had made a change. He
was paler from the loss of blood, the right eye
being slightly swollen, and a plain black patch ex

lived the life of a luxurious gentleman. The mes
senger of death passed through his heart, and he
lay on the ground his mouth open, his byes Ailed
with an expression of terror fearfully Vivid, even in
death. A letter was taken from his pocket, which
bore traces of his blood. It was shown to me by

at thet4 battle of Dranesville, as all the accounts
I have sad need some correction.
The Bektelle wore on the lead during our entire

rebel batiry opened at the distance of about 350
yards spin our left flank, firing grape and canis

edge of a dense pine forest, concealed from view,
except to those directly in front. Here we were
ordered to lie down, only answering with °sett

Rebel Account of the Fight at Dranes-
[Special Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.]
CENTREVILLE, December 4, 1801.
Yesterday morning a heavy skirmish °sourced at
Dranetn,:ille,which resulted disastrously to us. A
foraging party was sent out by t+eneral Stuart,
consisting of about two hundred wagons, escorted
by the Eleventh Virginia, Ocdcmel tia►riandr the
sixth South Carnlina, under Lieutenant Colonel A.
J. Seerest; the Tenth Alabama, Colonel John H
Forney ; the First Kentucky, Colonel Tom Taylor ;
the Sumpter Flying Artillery, Captain Cutts, and
detaebutents front Ransom's and Rad ferdet cavalry,
Our whole force amounted to nearly twenty-five
hundred men. They started off early in the
morning, and before day were some distance on
the journey, Seen after leaving a rocket wad
seen to about up in the direction of Dranesville,
which, as was afterwards ascertained, was a signal
from the enemy, and indicated that our approach
was known. It is about fifteen miles from hem to
Dranesville. When within a abort tliatelleo Of the
place, two or three regiments of Yankees were soon
deployed as skirmishers, in the skirts of a pine
thicket. 'which stretched out on either side of the
road. General Stuart draw up his force and pre
pared to make an attack ; On either side the woody
were very thick, end it wee difteutt to Mire
through them, but our force was pushed forward in
the following order : The Eleventh Virginia, being
in the advance, was deployed on the right of the
road, nith the Tenth Alabama, while the Sixth
South Curolina and the First Kentucky were sent
to the lest. On account of the dense thickets on
either side, the artillery were forced to advance
down the road, in order to;
gen a position to wake
the guns effective.
As we approached the Yankees, the Eleventh
Virginia charged limn With a yell. and drove them
back to their line, within sight of Dranesville. The
enemy seemed somewhat confused; but soon formed
again in
ine of battle. The advan positions

the loft of the road. While waiting to get sight of
the enemy, the Sixth South Carolina' was drawn up,
and the First Keeteeky advanced upon them, and
mistaking them for the enemy, a portion of the
regiment fired without orders, killing five of the
South Carolinians. The error was soon disiovered,
and Celiniel Taylor advanced cautiously to the left,
mid soon after came in sight of another regiment,
but a few yards away. To be sure there was no
mistake, Colonel Taylor shouted to the colonel, and
asked who he was.
lt The colonel of the Ninth," was the reply.
" Of what Ninth ?"
" Don't shoot," said the Yankees; "we are
friends—tooth Carolinians,"
"On which tide are you ?" asked Colon'
Taylor.
" For the Union," and immediately after the
Colonel gave the command to fire, and

fantry, regulars, U. S. A. The engagement then
became general, and our four regiments, with Capt.
Cutts' four guns, were soon actively engaged. The
Yankees had every advantage of position. There
were several houses along the Leesburg turnpike,
and back of it a hill upon which their battery was
placed. Lower down, and opposite the lith, was
another battery pined in position to enfilade the
turnpike should we enter it. The main battery of
six guns swept the road upon which we were ad
vancing, and kept up an incessant fire of grape,
canister, and spherical ease. The accuracy of their
aim was remarkable, considering the rapidity with
which the guns were fired. Capt. Cutts got throe
of his pieces in position, and returned the fire ra
pidly and successfully.
Meanwhile, MO enemy advanced moral regi
ments of infantry; and, protected by the nature of
the ground, came within a hundred yards of us,
and forming in line, fired for some time, keeping
the air fun of Minnie balls, and finally attempted
to charge. Three tithes the officers gave the or
der. and tried to get their Alen forward, but failed.
They could not be pushed into the thicket. Soon
after this the firing on both sides ensued, but set
before great damage was done to our force. For
over an hour both sides had kept an incessant
firing. The wounded and dead lay on every side,
and the regiments *655 be g -lax:l6g- to get scattered.
To give it a little more in detail : As our first
advance were marching by the flank toward the
Yankee skirmishers, two companies of the Eleventh
Virginia were thrown out as skirmisher*, and tent
forward. Captain Houston's company charged the
Yankees with a shout., and drove them in, and,
soon after, the shout was taken up by others, and
all advanced within sight of Dranesville. Cone
pug A l of the Bleronth, was deployed en the
Peek, but, by some 1116A155, got lost, and was sepa
rated from the regiment until the fight was over.
When the enemy formed in line of battle, Col.
Forney drew the Tenth Alalggrui, up also, and pro,
reed' to edeanca upon thorn. The coolness and
during courage displayed by Colonel Forney was
observed by everybody. He rode backward and
forward in front of the lino, Atientaytidg
and in getting all prepared for the coming striag
gle. The same can be said of Colonel Garland.
Soon after the firing commenced, Colonel Forney
was abet through the light arm, Lieutenant Oolenel.
Martin was killed, and the command of the regi
ment devolved upon Major Woodward, who com
manded on one side of the road, and the senior
Captain an the other. This regiment lost more
than any ether. The Sumpter Artillery was in the
road, and had three guns in position. Only four
pieces were out, and about sixty men. Captain
Cutts and his Mgt fought bravely, and suffered
severely. The enemy's batteries played upon him
for some time, and killed nearly all his horses,
destroyed one limber, and exploded a caisson.
Twenty-five horses were left dead upon the field.
The guns still kept &leg, and did good execution
—every shot scattering the Yankees, and telling
upon them seriously. He succeeded in breaking
their line, and in driving their sharpshooters from
the home behind which they were hidden. When
ordered to fall back, the pieces were taken to the
rear by hand, with the assistance of the infantry.
Seeing the wagons safely to the rear, General
Stuart gave orders to fall back to a better position.
The regiment inatehod to the rear in good order,
both aides having ceased firing. At this time Col.
Tom Taylor rode to the right to see what disposi
tion had been made of his neighbors, and on re
turning found his regiment gone, seed himself
nearly surrounded 137 Yankee cavalry. Throwing
Wendt' down he eluded them, and afterward crept
into a pine coppice, and remained there until dark,
with Yankees on each side of him. At night he
escaped, and joined his regiment this morning, E. -
taking no injury beyond a died scratch on the
band by a musket ball. -
Taking his force to the rear, where the ground
offered better positions, General Stuart once more
draw
tip his force and awaited the enemy, but he
had enough of it, and was not disposed to give bat
tle again. Thus ended the battle at Dranesville,
which, although disastrous to us, was more so to
the enemy, if recent reports .are true. It is lee

It has been a puzzle to many how Price, without
governmental resources, has managed to subsist a
considerable AVErz Ina country almost clooApivial.
His system is not ftnown in the " regulations." Ho
never complains of a want of transportation,
whether he is about to move ten miles or a hundred
MileS, lie pays for what he takes in Missouri
State scrip. His men go into the corn field, shuck
the corn, shell it, take it to mill and bring it into
camp, ground into meal. Or should they have no
flour, they take the wheat from the stack, thresh it
themselves, or with horses or oxen, nod as with the
corn ask the aid of the miller to reduce it to flour.
Such an army can go where they please in an
agricultural country.

We have this morning arrived once more at our
prairie camp, after a most glorious and successful
eampsigl2—tht , mot glorious in results, awl the
11,51,iest. tn casualties, which has thus far signalized
our success in arms. We have, is brief; returned,
after being out six days, with an aggregate of near
1,000 prisoners, iuchuling two colonels, Robinson
and Alexander; one lieutenant colonel, name un
known ; one major, Ilarris ; shout twenty captains,
and fifty lieutenants. In addition, we have taken
near I,oeo horses ! 10 wagons, 1.003 guns and fire
arms, besides large quantities of supplies, flour, ba
con. hams, powder, pickles, proem-ves t clothing. die:
We have 2 indeed, dealt a heavy ble,w to the rebel
Gen Price, who stands bidden, shivefiog on the
banks of the Osage,
tearing io advance, and yet fear
ing that he may any day hays to run.
Since that great day, when the deathless
Lyon stemmed the torrent of their advancing
arms with his little band of petriOteoat Wilson's
Creels; nothing has so disabled the rebels in Mis
souri. Ills despatches captured betray plainly the
anxiety be feels concerning the safety of his men.
iii§9itlM aro to the various detiteltecents be job%
him with all speed. There it. in fact, good reason
to believe that, bad General Pope been allowed to
continue his march, and if he had been supplied
with another regiment of efffillq, ho mig ht have
P.ieed Price Into an engagement in which he would
have been worsted, or sent him back in a hurry to ,
the Arkansas line once more, But it is understood
that General 'hillock sent him peremptory orders
not to advance too near to Osceola, bat to capture
the outlying recruiting parties guil return to this
Vest. This would Indicate not that we stand in
any fear of Price, but rather that it is the Inten
tion of General Ilalleck to entrap and not no
frighten him away.
The account of 9ur expedition may be summed
up briefly. The plan was matured between Gene
rals Pope and Ilalleck ; and before the outside
world suspected it, tbe division of General Pope ,
was under orders to mot-a. It consisted as follows;

The whole being under the immediate nominal&
of General Pope, Tho four Companies 6f regular
cavalry mentioned above must be understood to be
only the fragments of the original companies, B, 0,
D. and E, and number in all, new, but a little over
it hundred men. They are all under the command
of Captain Crittenden, of the regular army, (son of
the Bon, John J. Crittenden.)
The command started from
on Sunday s
the 15th, and encamped at night eleven miles dis
tant, on the direct road to Clinton. The weather
was moderately warm for the season, and the road
on the undulating prairies of the finest kind. The
men were generally in fine spirits, and from the
direction all supposed that we were destined for
the stronghold of Price, at Osceola, acting as part
of a grand concerted movement from four sides.
Such, however, we found was not the case.
The next day, Monday, wo made a splendid
march, all the men being in good marching order.
Twenty-six wiles brought us, at sunset, at Shawnee
Mound, in Henry county. Here the reports of
Yeriou9 Companies of rebels began to same no from
residents, and from our scouts. Otte company of
near five hundred was heard of at a point about
twelve miles northwest, and several smaller bodies
direetlyisouth of us, from Clinton to RAW, fie.
nerd Pope then despatched his whole available
force of cavalry, nearly seven hundred, before they
bad bad three hours' rest, after the five hundred
near Morristown. while our Mon cooked a hearty
meal, and retired to a sound sleep just on the edge
of one of the innumerable little prairies of which
this region is composed. The cavalry under Lieu.
tenant Catena Brown, of the seventh Missouri Vo
lunteers, pushed on all night, and -,n arriving at
the rebel camp they found it vacated. The rebels
had received warning, and had fled precipitately,
leaving numerous evidene” of their heath The
oe,nliy, notwithstanding their forty miles' con
tinuous march, pushed on after the fleeing rebels
till they reached Rose Hill, picking up some twenty
or thirty stragglers on the road, who, from ex
heY§liell or sickness; had been dropped Isehloil.
DOM wagons and jaded horses Were loft behind,
and here and there a tent or barrel was thrown out
to lighten their load. At Rose Hill the rebels
separated into several squads, as was learned [rem
0 1 6 inhelitaisas> some taking the road west, others
taking the south road to Butler. The fresh wagon
tracks and footprints confirmed the report, and
colonel Drown bad no other alternative than to reek
his exhausted horses, and, finally, to make his way
back to the main column next day, near Warrens
burg. He brought in nearly one hundred pri
soners,
General Pope in the meantime kept advancing is
a direction west of north to Chilhowie, a most im
portant point, being the centre of numerous im
portant cross-roads, This was near the site of the
rebel camp just referred to, and here our pickets
brought in some few straggling men, who could
give no satisfactory account of themselves, but
whom we were certain were bound for Priee's army,
At Chillbowle we heard of a rebel force from the
north, and of the scouring of the country south of
Clinton by Major Hubbard, of the First Missouri
cavalry, which deserves separate mention. The
dirertion of our forces was at once east, towards
Warrensburg. Report places their numbers as high
as 1,800. That night (Wednesday) we camped two
and a half miles west of Warrensburg : The re
ports were again confirmed and ;unguided by a
lord en his way to gir - o Us Lilo infora
matter,. Ile gave their location as at Kilpatrick 's
mill, on the Clear fork of Blackwater creek. (Mil
ford-is the post office nemo.) Early, therefore, on
Thursday morning; more prisoners having made
their way into our camp during the previous night,
we started in the direction of Knob Noster, being
directly south of the enemy. Colonel Merrill's
Horse was ordered to take the direct road running
parallel with the course of the Ilikelawater, so as to
intercept them in ease they took a western course.
The Masterly Capture.
The brigade of Col. Davis was placed in the ad
vance, With SASH to hoop well op to the cavalry,
a section of artillery being ready , to support the
cavalry upon a minute's warning. Gen. Pope, with
the main body, kept due west for Knob Nester, so
as to be ready to ceine up if necessary. Col. Darif,
Dißding that the enemy was still in eamp at Milford,
diverged, to the left, and put the regular cavalry
under Lieut. Amory in the advance, the four com
panies of the First lowa Cavalry, under Major Tor-
TIMM, beiSIVISNA. Oa StOroaehin s - the mill, ea r
men discovered that the rebels were popteil on the
opposite side of the bridge across the mill-dam.
Finding it would be dangerous to charge the bridge
woalltQdt Lint, Amery ordered the men to
dismount and skirmish with pistols and sa
bres, as infantry, the fourth man holding the
horses of the other three. This they instant
ly did, and advanced under the lead of Lieut.
Gordon, of Co. D, who bravely lad the way.
Some ineffectual skirmishing took place be
tween the regulars, who sheltered behind a
barn on the south of the creek and the rebels,
who, , were on the Math side, One of the
reeve was seen to fall no one on our side
was hit. During this interval the lowa Cav
alry filed off to the left, in the attempt to
cross the stream higher up, but after vainlytra
verging its glnt!. *idea and muddy bottom for a
mile, returned to find Lieutenant Amory charging
across the bridge, the rebels having deserted it
upon seeing Colonel Davis, with the artillery, ad
yenning. Lieutenant Amory followed 49 4 -964,
thihking that the rets might flee to the north.
Lieutenant Gordon, immediately after him, dashed
after some of the scattering enemy through the
w99d, and Mar penetrating a few rods, received it
Tolley from the enemy, whom he just then dis
covered formed in line. He formed in line as
quickly as thought, and ordered his men to fire
from their carbines, which they did, but with what
effect is not yet known. One of the party, how
ever, advanced and proposed a surrender, atid at
this they stood for some minutes.
The cavalry, under Major Torrence, and the re
nnticr flicN6. Amory, bad, in the meantime,
gotten up in the flank and rear of another body of
the enemy, who was thus enclosed on ono side by a
long marsh, on the other by a deep and muddy mill
pond, and on the third by our cavalry. Col. Davis
had by this time came up. In the rear. A white tleg
was displayed, and Col. Alexander, a young man,
came forward and asked if thirty minutes would be
allowed them for consultation. Col. Davis' answer
was. n that as night was vlwalog lo t they was tan
long." Col. Alexander then asked is he " would
be allowed to go to headquarters and bring back
the answer of the commander of the corps, Col.
ilobinson." Permission being granted, he re
turned in about five minutes, with the response
that L 4 they would be obliged to surrender as pri
soners of war." The rebels then stacked their
arms, after a fashion, and were formed in ila9 ard
inerohed between two tios o f our infantry,
Eighteenth and Twenty-fourth Illinois, with all the
honors or war. Col. Davis immediately sent de
spatches to General Pope, announcing his success, "
and PO night 1018 upon us the plunder was
hastily stowed into wagons, and we commenced
the march for camp. The spoils, as nearly as
could be learned in the confusion, consisted of
one thousand guns, of all kinds, from Fasfield to
44thEtion shot guns i a tow pistols, a taw sabres, and a
small stock of clothing. In their wagons were
found jars of apple-butter and fruit-cakes, un
doubtedly designed as presents from loved ones at
home, for the chivalrous soldiers in the woods.
Hams, pork, flour, corn meal, and harness, were
also stowed away in their teams. The result of the
firing could not be precisely ascertained, as it wee
getting dark, and the prinoipal firing 0 99145E94 iq
