Cumberland, June 27. To General McClellan:--
I have been accustomed to sending my mounted pickets, thirteen men in all, to different posts along the several approaches to Cumberland.
Finding it next to impossible to get reliable information of the enemy yesterday, I united the thirteen, and directed them, if possible, to proceed to Frankfort, a town midway between this place and Romney, to see if there were rebel troops there.
They went within a quarter of a mile of the place, and found it full of cavalry.
Returning they overtook forty horsemen, and at once charged on them, routing and driving them back more than a mile, killing eight of them, and securing seventeen horses.
Corporal Hayes, in command of my men, was desperately wounded with sabre cuts and bullets.
Taking him back they halted about an hour, and were then attacked by the enemy, who were reinforced to about seventy-five men. The attack

Yesterday (Wednesday) Richard Ashby left, with a portion of his command, twenty-one strong, from Capt. T. Ashby's company, on a scouting expedition to Maryland.
Dividing his command into three bodies, he, with six men, met a strong force of United States dragoons, regulars, and made a running fight with them, killing a number of the enemy.
Himself and three of his men are missing, but two escaped, and we fear that they have been killed, as their horses were led off by the enemy.
Capt. Ashby, who was also scouting with six men, hearing of the fight, immediately st
