It appears that the l'-)th the expedi

the-enemy a short distance north of Gun
town. Our cavalry, whivh waa S miles
in advance, first eugaged the ent my, bat
were overpowered and compelled to fall
back 8 miles, to Old Town Creek, where
they were joined by infantry said artille
ry. At this plaee a sharp engagement,
lasting 2 hours, took place between the
forces on opposite sides of the stream.—
Our forces were finally compelled to
fallback, which they did in the direction
of liipley, closely followed by the enemy.
Continual skirmishing was kept.up for 8
miles, when our forces reached tbe swamp
on the Fulton and Ripley road, where
another engagement was had. The ftaii
at this poflK was narrow and the mud
deep, so that it became utterly impossible
to move off tbe Wagon train and anillury.
At this point the enemy pressed our troops
on all side# with superior numbers. The
cavalry, after desperate fighting, was
compelled to fail baok. The infantry was
thrown into confusion, surrounded by the
enemy, and the greater portion surrender
ed. Of 18 pieces of artillery only were
brought off. The greater portion of otir
wounded fell into the enemy's hands. The
rebel cavalry pursued ourstonearColliers
