filing off under the bluff, escaped up a ravine. Night coming on, the only means left was to send a regiment around to one of the gaps to cut them off. The Eighth Michigan was accordingly despatched on this business. We lost, singular to say, but one man killed — William West, company C--and two wounded--Joseph Blair and James Hick — all of the same company. West was shot in the forehead by a Minie ball, and fell fighting bravely. The prisoners number about forty; among the number Captain James White, of Maysville. The Eighth Michigan cavalry, which was left on the field, it is expected will capture the greater part of the remainder. The rebel surgeon came in with their wounded and gave himself up; he reported that Pete Everett, the commander, was killed in the charge by company C. About two thousand dollars' worth of property of every description was picked up on the field by our boys. To conclude, I think that guerrillaing has very near played out in this section of the

He was interviewed by Dr. Parry, who happened to be there with a railway survey party, and Parry told White that he must have come through the Big canyon. White therefore said he had, when assured that he had, although he did not know the topography of the canyons—neither did Dr. Parry, nor any one else. The White story was first told in General Palmer's Report of survWhite therefore said he had, when assured that he had, although he did not know the topography of the canyons—neither did Dr. Parry, nor any one else.
