is horse and galloped forward, followed by his whole staff, nor did he draw rein until within some eight hundred yards of the enemy's camp. Here he calmly viewed their position, never having been on the ground himself before, but from the knowledge of others present, he soon made himself master of all the facts as to the topography of the surroundings, and at once determined upon his position, and gave directions for the forming of the line of battle. The infantry under the command of Lieut. Col. Duff, were placed on the right; the battery--six pieces, 12 pounders — under Capt. Edgar, in the centre, with the cavalry and mounted troops under Col. H. F. McCulloch on the left. The whole command, numbering some 1,500 troops of all arms, presented a fine appearance, with banners flying, drums beating, sabres and bayonets glittering in the meridian sun, horses pawing and neighing, the field officers flying from one end of the field to another, carrying the commands of their chief.

Welborn's, from the, 18th, were on picket duty between here and the rivut scouts to examine them. The enemy then deployed a portion of their force as skirmishers, and commenced an advance. Capt. Duff called several times to halt them, and asked "who comes there? " They replied "friends," but continued to advance. CapCaptain Duff tell back and brought his company to a halt, and gave the command to "right about — face, " and then ordered his men to kneel and fire upon the advancing company.

Doubtless you have had various accounts of the signal victory, gained over "Old Abe's" forces near Leesburg on Monday, October, 21 Just three months from the celebrated battle of Manassas. Shall I venture you a line?-- Brevity is a desideratam with editors. I'll try at that. The ball was opened about 8 o'clock, A. M., by Captain Duff's Company of Seventeenth Mississippi Volunteers, who had been thrown out as skirmishers and, from that time, with occasional intermission, the firing continued during the day.

Hunter, (than whom a braver man tread not the soil,) supported by Captain Fletcher a company, of the 13th Mississippi volunteers, gallantry led the charge. Reinforced by the 18th Mississippi volunteers, Col. Burt, and 17th Mississippi volunteers, Col. Feather ston

McCarthy. its position has been indicated, and its intended use to open on the enemy when the 8th fell back — in consequence of which it never opened, The artillery had thus no part in the battle. One other item should not be omitted — the gallant fight of one of the most gallant of the Mississippians, Capt. Duff, of the 17th, at about in the morning, at a point somewhat nigher up, With his single company he met and completely routed four companies of the enemy, fighting afterwards throughout the entire main engagement.
