Passengers by the
Central train last night bring as some particulars of the recent occupation of
Winchester by the
Federal forces.
They approached the town with extreme caution, and only centered it of or being twice assured that our forces had evacuated the place.
They remained in the town only an hour or two, during which time they busied themselves with paroling our disabled and ask soldiers there, and then took up their line of march in the direction of
Harper's Ferry, from whence they came.
The force that visited
Winchester is variously estimated from three to five thousand and were a portion of the command of the notorious
Geary.
Our own troops have again to occupied the town.
