Overpowered thus;jl»y superior numbers, these new regiments soon became demoral-izeJ, and the men who were not•j killed or wounded fled preeipi. Ilately from the field. There wereJ' about 300 Randolph boyi engailged in this fight— i -apt. Boue-hrake’s company, raised here, ijCapt. Ross’s company raised in ! Westriver township, and parts of b j companies raised at Lynn and Union City.The latest newa received from Capt. Bone brake’s company is contained in a letter written by E. J. Putman, from Indianapolis Wednesday, Sept. 3, to J. W. Williamson, who has kindly fur rushed us with a copy of the. suite. From it we learn that | Mr. Putman had seen Capt.

Way says that Capt. Bonebrake escaped, but did uot know how many men he got away with hi in. David \bbotfc was supposed to bo killed. David Ward stayed with the hoys that were wounded. The boys were scattered all over the country, and were corning into live iiurs one at a time. Some of them are likely killed, but more taken prisoners.We saw a young man by the name of Cox, who belongs to the Huntsville company, on Wednesday, and he says that before he left Capt.
