His father removed to Ohio when his son was quite young, and hence the common, but erroneous, impression that Rosencranz is a native of the Swine Commonwealth.

They also burned the cotton, of which the breastworks were constructed. The flotilla cast off at 5 o'clock yesterday morning, and wer

They are principally from Barbour and Randolph counties, and representatives of the loyal portion of the population of that region. They state that those who have heretofore been loud in their professions of devotion to the old Union are now availing themselves of every opportunity to dodge the draft which has been ordered in the Pierpoint realms Many of them would gladly become converts to Southernism but that they fear their guilt is too well known to admit of an easy pardon.

From Northwestern Virginia.

The officers of Pierpont's State are collecting taxes for the two proceeding years as well as the present.

Imboden states that he has driven the enemy out of the town, and expected to continue the pursuit of them the next day, (Saturday) He also states that as a result of his expedition he expected to secure one thousand head of cattle in Randolph county. The reported evacuation of Winchester is not yet confirmed, though the information from that quarter tends to the belief that Milroy's forces have fallen back, with a view to the protection of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.

Crane, deeming the doolas and unsound persons — i. e., those who were loyal to Virginia. He says: I labored hard to return troops to Randolph and I hope now you will all aid in capturing Bill Harper and other guerilla parties. You all have no other trouble in Randolph but guerillas.
