AT RICH MOUNTAIN
Three brigades of Federal troops
commanded by Maj. Gen. George
B. McClellan drove a Confederate
unit of some 4,000 men into retreat
after two days of fighting amid the
crags of the Rich and Cheat
Ranges.
Correspondents gathered in this
| drowsy hamlet, serenely sur-
rounded by the blue-tinted peaks
of the soaring mountains, had
their choice of two versions of the
actions.
In a typically Napoleonic dis-
patch, McClellan declared:
“We have annihilated two
armies, commanded ‘by edu-
cated and experienced sol-
diers, intrenched in mountain
fastnesses fortified at their
leisure.” .
But from captured rebels and
the hill folk who glumly observed
the’ skirmishes came another ac-
count.
® ¥ %
THESE witnesses appeared puz-
zled over McClellan’s slowness in
advancing on what they consid-
ered to be obviously vulnerable
positions.
And they were perplexed at
the manner with which South-
ern forces were withdrawn,
apparently in anticipation of
assaults that never actually
materialized.
Observers agreed that appar-
ently, both sides vastly overesti-
mated the strength of their
opponents.
The consensus is that McClellan
advanced with” unnecessary cau-
tion, and that the Rebels retreated
with unnecessary haste.
McClellan is reliably reported
to have estimated, on the eve of
battle, the enemy’s strength at
more than 10,000.
But the Rich Mountain regi-
ments, commanded by Brig. Gen.
Robert Selden Garnett, a 42-year-
old former Union army officer,
never numbered even one-half of
that figure.
* % x
ONE KEY to McClellan’s faulty
information was seen in the dis-
mal failure of Garnett to recruit
reinforcements for his units.
With Gen. Henry A. Wise, Gar-
nett had been ordered by Gen.
Pobert E. Lee into the area not
only to defend the key rail centers
there, but to enlist the mountain-
eers.
In a report to Lee July 1, Gar-
nett forlornly advised that he was
able to recruit only 23 men during
a Zall week’s effort.
West Virginians, Garnett
told Lee, ‘“‘are thoroughly im-
bued with an ignorant and
‘bigoted Union sentiment.”
It appeared likely that McClel-
lan’s intelligence agents advised
him that Garnett’s original force
of 4,000 would be greatly swollen
by volunteers and reinforcements.
. But what really happened was
that there were virtually no vol-

take part in the fighting.

DISPATCHES specifically fa-
vored one of McClellan’s three
brigadiers, Gen. W. S. Rosecrans.
At daybreak today, Rosecrans
took a unit of 2,000 men and a
troop of horse on a withering 10-
hour march through the mountains
to seize a key point known as
Hart’s farm.
The youthful son of the farm
owner served as guide.
In a message received by Mec-
Clellan in his Roaring Creek
command post, Rosecrans re-
ported he had taken the position
held by Lt. Col. John Pegram,
suffering losses of 12 killed and 49
wounded. The retreating Pegram
left 20 wounded on the field and
surrendered 63 men, including
many sick with non-combat ail-
ments.

ONE BAFFLING incident will
long be remembered by veterans
of both sides in the Rich Mountain
battle.
Rosecrans had planned to move
toward the Hart farm at day-
break, but a bugler sounded re-
veille and assembly at midnight
—giving Col. Pegram ample, and
accidental, warning of the troop
movement.
Vote $500 Million
To Expand Army
Washington, D.C.—July 10—the ,
Senate today appropriated $500
million as initial financing for
raising an army of 500,000.
President Lincoln called for a
force of that strength, plus a vast
increase in ships and men for the
Navy, in a dramatic special mes-
sage to the congress that con-
vened here July 4.
