Beverly Turnpike, and several small fights have come off, our party always getting the better of the scrimmages, and have captured some dozen of the enemy, several horses, and killed four or five of their men, and have not as yet lost a single man. The Northern troops are easy committing outrages which would disgrace savages. Females have been outraged, houses plundered, and women and children driven from their homes. Yesterday, without provocation, they shot Mr. Banks Corlin, of Harrison county, because he was a Secessionist, and burned the barn and farm house of Peter B. Righter, of Marion county, after having plundered it of all its effects. The "Union me" seem to vie with the Yankees in their atrocities. A heavy retribution awaits them. Last week a body of the enemy left Fairmont for Coons' Run, in Marion county, to arrest some Secessionists, when the Secessionists waylaid them, fired upon them, killed four and wounded others. The enemy fled, swearing vengeance. Wo

mall quantity of powder and lead,) to load all the wagons we had with us, or could procure, not before loaded. We found in one of the storehouses in the town some provisions (including nine barrels of mess pork) left there by the Federal army, which we brought with us; and have sent them on to the commissary at Beverly. We arrested two men. The particulars of the charge, &c., are herewith enclosed. We, also, brought with us a horse which had been stolen from one of our friends in Harrison county by the Federal forces, and was left behind in their hasty retreat. After loading our supplies, we returned to the east side of the Middlefork river (thirteen miles） and came into our camp this morning, making the march (forty-six miles) in forty-eight hours from the time of leaving camp, without material injure to either men or horses. Our scouts, left to guard the bridge over the Middlefork river, were fired at this morning--one shot taking effect in the hip of one of the scout's hor

The Army of the Northwest. There is hardly a probability of truth in any of the rumors touching engagements as yet between our forces and those under General Rosengrass in the Northwest. We see by late Northern papers that this General was at Clarksburg in Harrison county. He had been apposing earnestly for reinforcements to make up for the disbanded three months men who had returned home. It is not likely that he has left his men very far down in Virginia.--He has more probably retreated to Philipp; or Grafton. Though we put no faith in the rumors already received of collisions, it is likely that there are some active movements is going on that will soon bring on some fighting or rapid retreating; and this time we are satisfied that, if the latter, it will not be on our side.

Lieut. Col. H. W. Allen.--Sir: I see in the Democrat your notice to the people of Harrison county, calling on us to be prepared in case of an invasion of our coast. Although I am now over seventy years old, I am and have been urging this course for the last month upon the citizens living in this neighborhood, and I think they are about to be stirred up. As to myself, I am ready at a moment's warning with my musket, ammunition and revolver. I lack a good butcher knife. Although old as I am, I think if the Lord should spare me I could do or be of some service in case of the enemy's
