Doc. 14. attack on secessionists, at Wayne Court House, Va., August, 1861. Perhaps nowhere in Western Virginia has there been a viler nest of secessionists than at Wayne Court House, the county town of the county, lying on the Kentucky line. Their leader, Ferguson, was some six weeks ago taken by Colonel Zeigler, of Camp Pierpont, and sent to Columbus, Ohio. This, however, did not abate in the least their acts of tyranny and oppression. We are glad now to report that the gang has been broken up and their leaders taken prisoners. On Saturday last, 24th of August, Captain Smith was detailed with fifty-three men from Camp Pierpont, which is at Ceredo, in Wayne County, now under command of Colonel Zeigler. Captain Smith and his men reached the Court House, a distance of twenty miles, about daylight on Sunday morning, and took possession of the place. Some of the troops went to the Court House and rang the bell, which appeared to be the signal for the rebels to rally. Eight of

I was told that in the retreat, the Northern Colonel rushed to the top of the bill, and as he rode down calling upon his men with an oath to kill the rebels, one of our men took from another his gun, turned upon, he Colonel and shot him from his horse — The names of the Captains that commanded our men are Mansfield and Ferguson--one from Wayne and the other from Cabell. The Northern forces have possession also of Wayne Court House and a place called Silver Creek, between the Court-Houses of Logan and Boone. We saw a gentleman direct from Governor Wise's camp. He represents the Governor in a very critical condition. His force is only about 4,000, while he is being approached from three different directions by about 10,000 Federals. He is calling for troops to come to his aid. On our way home we started two companies from Wyoming, two from McDowell, and now learn that two left Buchanan county on Friday las
