457.] Jenkins was hurt by the fall of his horse, but he succeeded in getting away; for, as we had no horsemen to pursue with, even the wounded, except one, could not be overtaken.

Hats, clothing, arms, and saddles were left scattered along the road in as complete a breakneck race for life as was ever seen.

The result, if not great in the list of casualties, which were only reported at 10 or 15 by the enemy, was so demoralizing in its influence upon the hostile cavalry that they never again showed any enterprise in harassing our outposts, whilst our men gained proportionally in confidence.
About the 30th of August we heard of an encampment of Confederate militia at Boone C.H.which was so situated, southwest of the Kanawha River, as to menace our communications with the Ohio.

I sent Lieutenant-Colonel Enyart with half of the First Kentucky Regiment to beat up this encampment, and he did so on the 2d of September, completely routing the enemy, who left 25 dead upon the field.
Enyart's march and attack had been rapid and vigorous, and the terror of the blow kept that part of the district quiet for some time afterward.
