Nille of US Confederates Were sent out on a scout, and we met eleven mounted men of the Fnlon army. We Went right at one another, ami soon | I was the only one left on our side, and two calvary men on the Fnlon side.; One of them made at me. and was snapping his pistol right at my head, when I charged him with the bayonet. As 1 made n thrust his horse reared up ami the bayonet went t ight through his heart, over went horse and rider. With the man pinned under the dead horse. Two of our Confederates, pass ing u ar, heard the row. and rushed in and captured the other man, and helped nie roll the horse off my man. They wanted to take the watch and pocket hook of my prisoner, inn I told them they could not rob my man when ho had surrendered. I carried my prisoner to hoadquartei where I was told to take him to li certain ofliec r, who was parolling the prisoners. We could not bo locum he red with a lot of captured men. he ilig in the enemy's country and We needed overy man in the ranks to light our way out.
