On reaching Salem, the enemy determined to continue his retreat to Christiansburg, with the intention of pushing on to the Lead Mines and Salt Works, and in fact, a large portion of his wagon train had been sent forward in that direction, begetting information that Gen Morgan had returned from Kentucky and was at the Salt Works with five thousand men, he changed his course and took the road leading to Newcastle and Sweet Springs. Hunter, however, had not proceeded on this road but a few miles, when he found that the vigilant Gen McCausland was in his front, and almost before he was aware of it some ten or twelve pieces of his artillery, twenty five or thirty wagons, between two and three hundred prisoners, a number of negroes and about two hundred horses were in the hand of our cavalry.

On reaching Salem, the enemy determined to continue his retreat to Christiansburg, with the intention of pushing on to the Lead Mines and Sckson, from the front, to inflict an immense amount of damage upon the enemy.

The fight with Hunter's command at Hanging Rock. The Lynchburg Republican, of Sunday, has, from an eye witness, the particulars of the fight with Hunter's troops at Hanging Rock on the Wednesday before; At Bonsack's Depot the enemy made a clean sweep of almost everything. The extensive manufacturing establishment of Mr Bonsack was pillaged of a large amount of jeans cloth — about fifteen thousand yards; when the building was set on fire and entirely consumed.

The extensive manufacturing establishment of Mr Bonsack was pillaged of a large amount of jeans cloth — about fifteen thousand yards; when the building was set on fire and entirely consumed. The enemy then made a prisoner of Mr Bonsack, for what reason is unexplained, and carried him off with them. The depot at this place, as before stated, was also burned, together with several other buildings. The loss of the Bonsack's mill is a very serious one as the Government was furnished with large supplies of cloth from its looms, while if gave employment to many poor people, mostly women, who are thus thrown on the cold charities of the world for a support. The friends, however, were made to leave Bonsack

The enemy, however, quickly threw forward his forces, and compelled Gen McCausiand to abandon all except six of the captured pieces of artillery, but with them and the other captures Gen McC withdrew to the spur of a mountain close by, where he gained a position almost impregnable. The enemy then attempted to continue his retreat, but from the new position occupied by our forces his trains were rapidly fired into by the captured guns, and, to save them from imaginary capture, the enemy blew up a number of caissons and destroyed a large portion of his train.

Many of the enemy's men were killed by the explodes on of their own caissons, and in the several little skirmishes which occurred, their casualties are reported as being quite heavy. Our loss was but slight, exception one instance — it being stated that Captain Shelley lost, out of about sixty men, all except seven. Capt S it seems, had been ordered to hold a certain point at all hazards, when he was completely surrounded by the enemy, and made to suffer heavily, as above stated. The enemy finally succeeded in extricating himself from our cavalry, and proceeded on his route, but, from what we consider reliable information, he will find many obstacles in his path before he reaches his own lines Under the direction of Gen Echols and Maj Dorman, wh
