ask Jackson, at Harper's Ferry, to send some aid to Porterfield if he could do so without endangering his own position. Porterfield had reached Grafton on the same day that Lee's letter was written to Jackson, and found no forces to command. The sparseness of the population and the general uncertainty prevailing everywhere made concert of action difficult. Citizens who were true to the Old Dominion, appeared to be in the minority and needed protection. In view of the emergency, Col. M. G. Harman moved from Staunton, May 15, 1861, with a supply of arms, under escort of Capt. F. F. Sterrett's company of cavalry, for the relief of the Northwest. Capt. Felix H. Hull also proceeded to Highland with the company to recruit and join Captain Sterrett. Captain Moorman marched to Monterey and Captains Stover and McNeil were sent to Huttonsville. Under similar orders, Colonel Goff was engaged in raising troops in Randolph county, and all these separate companies were directed to unite a

ere were a few boxes of rusty flint-lock guns and two kegs of powder, that was all, General Morris also reports that we were pursued. This also is an error. He was not there. An officious report to General Lee appears in the Records, signed M. G. Harman, Major, J. M. Heck, Colonel, and R. E. Cowan, Major. These parties, no doubt, felt that by finding fault with me they elevated themselves. Harman was a Quartermaster, knowing nothing of military movements. Heck was appointed Lieutenant-ColoHarman was a Quartermaster, knowing nothing of military movements. Heck was appointed Lieutenant-Colonel, and when he reported to me at Grafton asked to be sent to Richmond, in which I gratified him, and where he remained until General Garnett's army was sent out. Cowan was nothing of a soldier. They all chimed in with the clamor against me, and gave it as wide circulation as they could. For all the reverses in this section heavy censure was cast upon me. If the authorities did not place it upon me, it seems they were willing that I should bear it. The more intelligent citizens, who knew the

flicted. On the 1st of May, David E. Moore, Jr., joined the battery; on the 3d, Lawson W. Johnson; on the 5th, Richard G. Davis; on 6th, Samuel B. Anderson, Ferdinand Hetterich, Thomas Martin, and Benjamin F. Tharp; on 7th, John R. Beard; and on the 11th, George W. Conner. On the 11th of May the company was on the march to Staunton, and on that day William G. Crosen joined it at Steel's Tavern. The same day it was mustered into the Confederate States service at Staunton, Va., by Major M. G. Harman. The first members of the company may remember, and be able to tell, the route taken from Staunton. I can find only this authenticated account of their movements from Staunton till they were again mustered at Camp Stevens, north of Martinsburg, Va. From Staunton, the place of the last mustering, the company travelled mainly by the railroad, some 230 miles. It has since marched many miles as part of the Army of the Shenandoah. Their route was probably this: By railroads-From Staunt

The Southern Express Company. --The stockholders of this recently incorporated Express Company held their first meeting in this city yesterday at the Exchange Hotel, and fully organized for business, electing the following officers: President, M. G. Harman, Esq., of Staunton; Vice President, S. W. Ficklin, of Charlottesville; Superintendent, B. F. Ficklin, of Richmond. Five hundred thousand dollars of the stock of the Company have already been taken, showing the confidence of the people in the ultimately successful workings of the new candidate for public favor.
The arrest of Ed. C. Randolph. --The following statement of circumstances connected with the arrest of Ed. C. Randolph, in the county of Augusta, Va., is copied from the Staunton Spectator, of Tuesday last: On Friday night last, by the command of Major M. G. Harman, Lieut. B. F. Eakle, of the Greenbrier cavalry, detailed five men of the same company to go with him for the purpose of arresting Mr. Ed. C. Randolph, who was suspected of being a spy. Mr. Ed. C. Randolph is published in the columns of the National Intelligencer as a 1st Lieutenant in a company at Washington. He was arrested in the village of Middlebrook, in this county, where his wife resides, between 11 and 12 o'clock that night. The Home Guard of that place had him in duress when Lieut. Eakle arrived. He was brought to Staunton on Saturday morning. On that day, he obtained a writ of habeas corpus returnable on Monday. On Monday, the question whether he should be tried by the civil or military authoriti
The Latest newsthe recent battle at Philippi. Our Reporter conversed yesterday evening with Dr. J. A Hunter, of the Virginia army, who had just arrived from Staunton, where most of the circumstances attending the recent engagement between the Virginia and Washington forces at Phillippi were known, the news having been brought thither by special express. Mr. Bledsoe, of Staunton, arrived also in Richmond yesterday evening with dispatches concerning the battle, sent by General Harman to the Governor, the nature of which we were not permitted to find out. Dr. Hunter entertains no doubt that the ground was most gallantly contested by the Virginians, who fought with the odds of 700 against from 1,500 to 3,000 of the Abolitionists, who were aided by certain traitorous "Union" men in that region. By the sheer force of numbers, the enemy were enabled to surround and get possession of the train. In the capons were unopened cases containing 500 muskets. A desperate attempt was mad

Harman and others have purchased the large freight Depot of the Virginia Central Railroad, at that place, for the price of $3,500, with the view of establishing a manufactory of the newly invented repeating gun, which is now attracting so much attention, and is the invention of Lorenzo Sibert, of Augusta county.
