Pound Gap road, for the Tazewell route was no longer safe. I sent a small armed force immediately on the Tazewell route with written orders to turn back the artillery and all public wagons to a point of safety in Virginia. I then sent Captain Holliday with a small mounted party on the Johns's Creek road, and Captains Thomas and Clay on the river road to Prestensburg, to observe the movements of the enemy. This was on the night of the 8th. Captain Thomas discovered the advanced guard of the whole party of 250 men moved on foot to a strong position half a mile in front of the burnt bridge, here to await what we supposed to be the advanced guard of the enemy's force. I returned to our camp at daylight and met the report of Capt Holliday, who had been fired upon by an advanced guard of the enemy of about 150 men. He gave them a gallant fight, killed eight of them, having only one of his number wounded and one horse killed. I dispatched Capt. Shawhan with his own and Capt

Boggs's Artillery Battalion. --We understand that Capt. Boggs has had many offers of companies for his battalion of Light Artillery. Of the number offered he has selected three, and now wishes another from Virginia, and one from without the State, if they can report for master by April 1st.--This battalion promises to be a splendid command. We learn that Messrs. S. Taylor Martin, and Lieuts. Holliday and Garnett, are recruiting a company in this city for this battalion, and, from the character of the gentlemen engaged, doubt not that they will soon obtain their number.

Albemarle District. In the Augusta District the contest between General Baldwin and Governor Letcher has been very animated perhaps the most excited in the election. This may be kept in doubt, also, by the army vote. In the Montgomery District the contest is also likely to be close. Mr. Edmondson, for so many years the representative in the Federal Congress, opposes Mr. Staples, member of the last Confederate Congress. Walter Preston, member from the Abingdon District, is opposed by the famous Fayette McMullan, who has been canvassing industriously for the position. In the district composed of Caroline, &c., which now includes Culpeper, Messrs. James Barbour, jr., and Dejarnette are the candidates. The other districts are entirely in the hands of refugees and soldiers in the army. In the Winchester District, Mr. Boteler, the present representative, was opposed by Col. Holliday. Shenandoah and Hardy counties are the only counties in the district in which polls could be held.
