made an effort to force another stand. Lieutenant Robbins and Captain Fisk had taken Colonel Warner off the field, whence he was sent in an ambulance to Richmond. Lieutenant Robbins, of whose meritorious conduct on the battle-field I cannot speak in too high praise, being disabled by a fall from his horse, was also conveyed of Richmond.

Our forces were by this time badly scattered and confused. The different officers, however, who were yet fit for service, were unceasing in their efforts to collect and bring into the final contest at Richmond as many of our forces as possible, but it very soon became manifest to myself, as well as to many others, that no good result could be expected from a force three times beaten, fatigued, and prostrated from want of water. The whole force was soon stampeded, and I took what I could collect of our own regiment, with many stragglers from others, and struck off for Boonesborough, where we crossed the Kentucky River at 2 o'clock at night, and I finally succeeded, after a most fatiguing march, in bringing into Lexington about 300 men. The Eighteenth Regiment Kentucky Volunteers report now 236 enlisted men, under two captains-A. G. Wileman, Company D, and W. H. Littlejoin, Company F; six first lieutenants-J. W. Robbins, Company A, acting adjutant; J. D. Chrisman, Company B; W. C. Reeder, Company C; D. Boys, Company G; J. J. Hall, Company H; J. B. Heltemes, Company K; and two second lieutenants-A. B. Clark, Company C, and J. H. Johns, Company D.

HDQRS. NINETY-FIFTH REGIMENT OHIO VOLUNTEERS,
Camp Chase, Ohio, September 20, 1862.

GENERAL: I have the honor to submit the following report of the part taken by the Ninety-fifth Regiment Ohio Volunteers in the battles before Richmond, Ky., on Saturday, August 30, 1862:

About 3 p.m. on Friday, August 29, I received an order from Brigadier-General Cruft, commanding the Second Brigade of the Army of Kentucky, directing me to form my regiment quietly in line of battle and to wait further orders. The regiment remained in line until about dark, at which time, the skirmishing in front having ceased, supper was prepared and the men dismissed, one-half at a time, to eat it. During the night the regiment lay on their arms, and at 3 o'clock on Saturday morning again formed in line of battle. At daylight arms were stacked and breakfast prepared. As soon as possible thereafter the line was again formed, and at 7 o'clock we received marching orders. Taking the advance of the brigade, we were marched rapidly (a portion of the distance on the double-quick) 7 miles to the front to a point between Rogersville and Kingston, where General Manson's brigade had already engaged the enemy. Without being permitted to halt for rest or the men to close up we were marched at once upon the field from the enemy and in advance of our own guns. This movement was being executed
