urpose of performing picket duty at that point. Leaving a sufficient picket force for the post under be command of a Sergeant, the balance of the company, thirty men, under Lieut. Rouse and Baylor, proceeded down the Valley road. Thursday night they stayed at Woodstock, and at noon the nent day they left that place and went down as far as Newtown, eight miles from Winchester, which they reached about 10 o'clock. They traveled all that night, and encamped near the line of Jefferson and Clarke counties, between Summit Point and Wadesville. At each of these points — the distance between which is only four rifles — there was a Federal force of from seventy-five to one hundred. Their object was the capture of the passenger train on the Winchester and Potomac Railroad, and were eminently successful. On Saturday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, they ventured to the railroad, and in a few minutes the sound of the engine was heard. A quick disposition was made of the forces, and obstructions

A Confederate Soldier shot. On the 18th ult.,--Kerfoot, a son of Wm. C. Kerfoot, of Clarke county, was shot by a party of Yankees near his father's residence. It seems that he had been about home since Gen. Jackson drove Banks out of the Valley, and that on the approach of the party of Yankees alluded to be attempted to escape, and took refuge in a corn-field, where he was shot. He died on the 22d. Several other Confederate soldiers of the same county were taken prisoners. We trust this will be a warning to our soldiers who remain in the enemy's line with the pretext that they cannot escape.

ope, which was little larger than an ordinary bedcord, then being adjusted, he was ordered to stand upon the saddle. As he did so, a soldier gave a sharp cut to the animal, and in a second more the spy was jerking convulsively from the limb above him. He met his fate with great stoicism, and appeared perfectly satisfied with what he had accomplished, but to the last denied al participation in the act of shooting Longstreet's courier. He said that he had an uncle and aunt living in Clarke county, Virginia, and that the latter had made him the Confederate uniform which he wore. August 22,Friday--At Stevensburg — once a fine old sober Virginia village, but now deserted, dilapidated, and as rough as if it had been evolved up from a lot of second-hand rubbish. The ancient burg has evidently been awakened from a long coma, and while I write is alive with a cosmopolitan humanity. Ascending the hill in the suburbs, we have one of the handsomest views in the country. Around the edge

Affairs in Northern Virginia--repulse of the enemy at Castleman's Ferry. We have received intelligence of an engagement at Castleman's Ferry, on the Shenandoah river, in Clarke county. It seems that the enemy, whose main force is believed to have crossed the Potomac into Loudoun county, attempted to throw a large body of troops across the Shenandoah at the point designated, with the supposed intention of moving upon Winchester. Castleman's Ferry is on the direct read from Leesburg to Wi them was made, and such was the spirit with which it was made that utter rout was the consequence. An officer of the Lee battery, writing from Winchester under date of November 3, says: "We moved up here yesterday for forage, from Clarke county, where we spent one week. The Yankees are close upon us, having crossed from Loudoun through Snicker's Gap. We have skirmishing daily by A. P. Hill's forces and the enemy. We learn a small force of Yankees have moved up to Martinsburg, and

Lieut. Virginius Bossieux will carry down 500 Yankees, to be placed on board the flag of truce boat, 124 of whom are sick and wounded. Among these are three citizens who have been placed on special parole; one of whom, named Bull, is particularly charged with the release of the son of Col. Larkin Smith, Ass't Q. M. General. N. C. Ball, alluded to above, was a sutler in the Abolition army, and was captured by Gen. Stuart in one of his raids. He exchanged himself for Mr. Sowers, of Clarke county, a constituent of Mr. Boteler, who returned yesterday. He carries with him his son, (and clerk,) captured at the same time, who has given his parole to return in thirty days, unless young Smith be released and permitted to return home. All of the Abolitionists who go to-day were captured at Fredericksburg. Sixty of them, on account of the want of room in the accommodation at 7 o'clock, will start in the mail train at 3, and be detained in Petersburg till rejoined by their comrades to
