This lady has lost, since the war, her husband, two sons, two daughters, a brother, a son-in-law — these are dead; another of her sons has lost a leg, and another is now absent from his command with his third or fourth wound. To all this, she is now driven from her home. May God help her! "When Rosser was hard pressed on the left, the most of Lomax's command was ordered to his support, but he had been relieved before their arrival. But this transfer left McCausland by himself, who was attacked by the enemy, and his command stampeded, losing two guns. This attack was made by Powell--General Custar being opposed to our left — Meritt, probably, in the centre. We captured the book of the medical director of Torbert's cavalry, and it showed that, on the 3d of September, their in camp numbered eleven thousand two hundred and eighteen men, and on the 15th of October they numbered seven thousand two hundred and fifty.

s force, the problem of defeating Hood would be a much simpler one. His retrograde movement, as we understand the campaign, grows entirely out of that necessity. Successful raid on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad--the Destruction of stores. Telegrams give the particulars of a successful raid by the Confederates on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. One says: It appears that, about 1 o'clock on Monday afternoon, fifteen hundred or more rebel cavalry, under Generals Rosser and McCausland, it is said, appeared in front of New creek, twenty-two miles west of Cumberland, and attacked the two earthworks there located. What force defended them is not definitely known here, but it was only a short time before the rebels were in possession of the post.--It is believed that but few of the garrison escaped. New creek was a Government depot for West Virginia, and the warehouses, containing a large amount of quartermaster's and commissary stores, were burned by the enemy, as

During Early's last invasion of Maryland, General McCausland owed his life to the valor of his faithful body servant, who came to the rescue of his master when hard pressed by Averill's troops, and relieved him by seriously wounding the Federal captain at the head of the attacking party. General McCland, General McCausland owed his life to the valor of his faithful body servant, who came to the rescue of his master when hard pressed by Averill's troops, and relieved him by seriously wounding the Federal captain at the head of the attacking party. General McCausland is represented as the roughest of Virginia's cavaliers,-yet he binds the heart of his lowly slave by the ties of affection that cannot be stifled by the dangers of battle.

Breckinridge, General McCausland, Colonel Harry Gilmore, Major John Castleman, Captain Hinds, and others who had been officers in the armies of the Confederacy. General Breckinridge looks and is in perfect health. It was represented during the war that his hair had turned from jet black to silvery white. That was a mistake. A few grey hairs are perceptible about the locks, that is all. He is keeping house in a humble, retired way.
