We have now to contend with a regiment of the off-scouring of creation — men of the lowest grade of character, whose only object in view is rapine and plunder — a free-booting regiment of Baltimore "Plug-Uglies." This bandit now occupies and possesses the Northern bank of the Potomac, and keeps strict vigilance over the river at this point. The blockade here is complete, effectual and strictly enforced! All communication with the United States is now entirely cut off. If it were possible, the "birds of the air and the fishes of the river" would not be allowed to cross the line. It was not long after the arrival of this Baltimore crew before they "showed their hand," and the spirit and intention with which they would wage the war if permitted.

We now look for, and reasonably expect, a change in the programme. In addition to Capt. Henderson's troop, Lieut.-Col. Ashby, with a considerable number of cavalry, are now encamped a short distance from town, and is on the alert all the time. The river is now narrowly scrutinized and guarded from Harper's Ferry up to opposite Williams-port, and how much farther, "deponent knoweth not." The work of removing the railroad iron, locomotives, &c., from Martinsburg to Winchester goes bravely on. With 24 horses hitched to it, a locomotive is hauled over the turnpike with considerable ease. The locomotives appear out of Kelter and much injured by being burned, yet it is understood that from $300 to $500 will put them in complete running order. If so, Virginia will be no loser in the operation.

Not long after the achievement of such a great victory, which only served to stimulate them and embolden them to dirtier tricks, some of them came across at the same spot to pillage; but previous information was given to Captain John Henderson, of the "Home Guard Troop," who secreted themselves to watch the adventurers. When they had succeeded in gaining the Virginia side, and were plundering away to their infinite satisfaction, Henderson's men pounced upon them and captured two of them.
