; Wfritive heretofotergiven the facts ire regal d
and vletes, at- Drainesville, and
now give such details as may be interesting to
our readers :
General McCall, learning that a rebel 'squad
of about one- hundred cavalry were foraging
around near Difficult creek, and coming withih
four miles of his line, he determined to mtptu
them or drive them off, and at the same time
secure a quantity of forage belonging to some
noted rebels at Drainesville.
On Friday night he ordered out General Ord's
Brigade, with one-day's rations, to start at daY
lte also took &eon's battery and four
squadrons of cavalry and forty-five wagons, in
charge of Capt. Hall-. He started them on
with instructions to secure the forage, and after
they)eft he heard that there were some Rebelt
near — Hendon's , Station, on the railroad, who
might give them trouble, and knowing General
Ord's disposition for fighting so well, he ordered
out General Reynolds' Brigade, as a reserve, on
the turnpike, and with his staff galloped on to'-
wardsDrainesville.
In the meantime, General Ord had marched
to Drainesville, and with his troops in the fol
lowing order :—Advance guard, Kane Rifles,
Easton's battery, four squadrons of the First
Pennsylvania Cavalry, with the Tenth, Sixth
and Twelfth Regiments. The regiments were
about one hundred rods apart, and as the skir
mishers of tke Ninth were scouring the woods
this side of Drainesville, as their regiment was
entering the village they found the Rebels se
creted in the woods. Loose firing at once com
menced. It was now about half-past one, P.M.
Gen. Ord, who was in advance, at once rode
to the spot where the firing commenced, and
drew up his troops in line of battle. Easton's
battery took up their position in front of
Thorn's house, and Companies A and N of the
Sane Rifles were deployed down the road run
ning to Centreville. When about five hundred
yards down seven squadrons of Stuart's caval
ry galloped from one field to another, in front,
as though they were retreating, filling we were
coming i down on them in force.
The Rifleshalted for fear of being entrapped,
when bang went a cannon in front, not a hun
dred yards off. and a shot from a rifled cannon
whizzed over their heads, and took the top off a
house where Easton's battery was located. The
Rifles dropped down on' their faces, tined the
Kentucky riflemen opened a volley upon them.
They fell back, and were reinforced by other of
their companies, and then opened a firing
wherever they could see a chance.
Easton now opened on them with three guns
—twentyfour and one twelve—sending his
other round to the Hill, to keep them from out
flanking them. Their six guns were now pour
ing out incessant fire, and the Slith Regiment
on his right were firing rapidly at the edge of
the woods, where the rebels were conc&led in
thick gives. The rebel cannon shot nearly all
went over their heads.
When the position of the rebel battery was
found out pretty certain, Easton let drive, and
his third shell exploded in the caisson of the
rebels, which went off with a terrible noise.—
Just then Gen.. McCall and his staff rode up,
and he took command. He complimented Gen.
Ord on the disposition of the forces, and then
proceeded to give orders.
•
One Of the regiments was, disposed to fall
back out of the field in which they had been
placed to get undercover, ala rebels. General
McCall rode up,flourishing his sword, and cried
out to them to " Forward, boys stand your
ground," The rebels now saw their chance,
and down from the extreme left came a regi
ment in , light blue overcoats, with the Stare
and Stripes waving over them.
One ;p1 their officers cried out, "Do not shoot,
we are Bucktails." Our men consequenty re
served their fire, until one of the officers cried
out, "it's a lie, give them h-1, boys." Before
fhe word die/away, however, the rebels fired
and started for cover. Our troops gave them a
voily with fearful effect, their balls nearly all
passed over the heads of our men.
The artillery. were now throwing their shells
into the woods. The rebels had ceased firing
from their battery, and were trying to get their
men to make a charge, but without success.—
The hail of lead that now rained was terrible.
"Charge bayonets on 'em, boys !" cried General
McCall, and, his aids galloped around with or
ders to move onward;
The General, Ord, and his aids, were at the
head of his column, and charged in the follow
ing order:
The 9th Pennsylvania Reserve Regiment, Col.
Jackson ; Kane Rifles,' Lieutenant• Colonel Kane;
and a part of the Bath Regiment in reserve,
with the Tenth and Twelfth Regiments on both
On they went, plunged into the woods, and
the rebels fled. They fired as fast as they could
load, and in forty-five minutes from the time
the rebels opened fire on ns they were in full re
treat. Down went guns, rifles, overcoats, and
everything else that would encounter their run
ning.
The woods' resented a fearful spectacle, the
dead and dying lying in heaps, and mangled
bodies of horses being side by side with their
riders. Near the ruins of the battery were
seven horses and thirtaenmen piled up together.
The`groans of dying men and shrieks of the
wounded were fearful and terrific. Blended
with them were the shouts of our victorious sol
diers. The men stopped to select some trophies,
including swords, officers' caps, belts, money,
&c.
General McCall determined to keep up the
retreat and followed the enemy for a mile with
parts of the two regiments, including in all
about seventeen hundred men. In the road
and fields were wagon loads of clothes and
muskets.
The rout of the enemy was total and com
plete, and was more disastrous and disglaceful
to them than any that we have known in the
whole war. -
Two officers were selected to count the dead
bodies of the rebels lying in their tracks. The
principal portion of the killed were around the
position of their battery and in the route of
their retreat, they being being Ad is dm tad.
One officer counted over a hundred dead
bodies. All the,ir wounded who could walk or
run got away, as as most of their wound-
ed in the early.patb4Ate fight.

horses from their battery.. Captain Easton fired,
in the very short time during which the engage
meat continued, nearly two hundred shell, and
unly had thirty-six men to man his guns, not
one of whom was lost. ills horses stood fire
with as much composure as though they had
been old veterans.
The Rebel forces consisted of seven compa
nies of Stuart's Cavalry ; Outt's Battery of lour
guns; Tenth Alabama, Colonel J. H. Forney ;
First Kentucky, Colonel Taylor, (killed)—seveu
hundred—the Sixth South Carolina and one
North Carolina Regiment. The South Carolina
Regiment has been at a station °tithe Leesburg
Railroad for a day or two. It was them why
first opened upon us, and they were the first
to rim.
TwO 01.113801111 were left in the field, and we,
not filming hoMIS tobringthem in, had to out
them-up with•axes. The boxes Were, however,
brought away by Captain Easton, who now hee
them in camp. We learn from one of the rebel
pri.onens that the battery was Captain Cutts'
Georgia battery, and that they had one sixteen
pounder Parrott and three twenty-four pound
howitzers.
The Kentucky men say that there is much
dissatfsfaction in their regiment, and declare
that they want to go home at the earliest mo
ment. They say that theirs is the only regi
ment from Kentucky in the army of the Poto
mac. They left Centreville about three A. M.
on Friday morning with the Alabama battery,
cavalry, and one other regiment in the rear.
Au officer stated that (len. Johnston had left
Centreville with ten thousand men, and come
on four miles, where he waited to hear the re
sult. These men were but ten miles off during
the engagement.
Listou's battery was raised about Chambers
burg, by Captain Charles Campbell, who was
afterwards chosen Colonel, and they deserve
great praise for the cool and unflinching manner
in which they fired, and for the deadly aim with
which each each piece was fired.
This was merely a small expedition of Gen.
McCall's, sent'out without the knowledge of
Gen. 'McClellan. When he heard of it, he
rode over to Miner's Hill, and got a large force
under marching orders. Gen. liancock's bri
gade was ordered out. Gen. Meade's brigade
left camp at Tennallytown about two p. m.,
and marched within two milts of the field,
when orders came to return.
Their confidence now in their leaders., is un
bounded ; and should General McCall ever lead
they will follow without faltering, even though
they were walking into their graves. This is
the first victory we have won on the Potomac
for the rapidity with which it was executed and
the completeness of the victory, without any
loss of life compared to that of the enemy; and
too much praise cannot be accorded to the of
ficers for the management, and men for execu
ting the commands.
If the rebel loss is as great in wounded as it
is in dead, it is over four hundred killed and
wounded. The proportion is always lour or
five to one killed, and we know of about a hun
dred killed.
