g division of the railroad, had meditated a descent on Wheeling; but, finding themselves anticipated and outnumbered, they obstructed and destroyed the railroad west of them, so that the Unionists did not reach Grafton till the morning of the 30th. On the 31st, both tracks having been repaired, a force of seven or eight thousand men was collected at this point, under the immediate command of Gen. Morris; the Rebels having been pushed back, without resistance, to Philippi, the capital of Barbour county, some fifteen miles southward, and entirely off the line of the railroad. From this place, Col. G. A. Porterfield, as commander of the Virginia Rebel forces, issued the following proclamation: fellow-citizens: I am in your section of Virginia, in obedience to the legally constituted authorities thereof, with the view of protecting this section of the State from invasion by foreign forces, and to protect the people in the full enjoyment of their rights — civil, religious, and politic

nbrier River, and therefore seventeen miles west of the scene of the battle on Friday last. The troops of the enemy were supposed to number about five thousand, and supposed also to be under the orders of Gen. Reynolds, the same who commanded at Greenbrier. The troops on our side consisted of two Georgia regiments, Col. J. B. Baldwin's regiment of Virginia troops, and two Virginia battalions — the one commanded by Lieut.-Col. Hansbrough, of Taylor County, the other by Maj. Rogers, of Barbour County. There were also two field-batteries — the one commanded by Capt. Anderson, the other the battery of Capt. Rice. Our whole force numbered about two thousand, and were under the command of Col. Edward Johnson, of the Georgia troops, a native of Chester-field County, Va. It has already been stated that our army had fallen back from their entrenched camp at Greenbrier River, the scene of their former glory, and that a portion of our troops had been transferred elsewhere.

A venerable volunteer. --In the ranks of the Louisville Blues, now at Montgomery, from Barbour county, is the Rev. Alexander McLenan, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who with his two sons have enlisted with the company for the term of twelve months in the service of the Confederate States. In a speech made by him at Clayton on their way to Columbus, he remarked that "our cause was honored of God, and He would crown it with success." Mr. McLenan is upwards of sixty years of age, and the greater part of his manhood has been dedicated to the service of the ministry. Equality and justice to the South is a motto to which he has always been religiously devoted.--Columbus Sun.

Scouting in Barbour County. A correspondent of the Lewisburg Chronicle, writing from Camp Garrett, Barbour county, Va., June 20, gives an interesting account of scouting expeditions in that neighborhood. It appears that Capt. Moorman, with twenty of his command, went close to the enemy's camp on the night of the 18th, and met with some exciting adventures. Says he letter: We passed the enemy's scouts all along the road, but they had not even the courage to fire upon us from the roadside, though they were concealed by the darkness and the bushes, which were as thick as the hairs on a dog's back. We come back in a walk, after firing a salute of twenty guns immediately by the towardly devils. On the next day, the 19th, squads of four of our company took possession of the pike, within four miles of Phillippi, and waited patiently, in ambush, for the enemy's scouts and spies. Calvin Renick.
