Doc. 178.-battle of Fairmont, Virginia. Fairmont, Virginia, May 4, 1863. The rebel raid into West-Virginia has come and gone. The smoke of battle has drifted away, and the thousand rumors have given place to well-determined facts. I propose to describe briefly what I understand to be the route taken by the raiders after entering our lines until they escaped beyond them; and, with as much detail as time will permit, the engagement at this place. It appears that on Friday and Saturday, the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth ultimo, the rebels, having driven our small forces from Beverly and Philippi back to Grafton, crossed the railroad at several points between Grafton and Rowlesburgh, and went to Kingwood, in Preston County, thence to Morgantown, which place they reached on Monday, at two P. M. Tuesday morning they left Morgantown, and came up on the east bank of the river to within seven or eight miles of this place, where they were met by another body, which crossed the

Doc. 185.-fight at Warrenton Junction, Va. Fairfax Court-House, May 4, 1863. The telegraph last evening conveyed the intelligence of a fight at Warrenton Junction between a portion of Stahel's cavalry, under command of Colonel De Forrest, and Moseby's guerrillas. The rebels, numbering about three hundred, succeeded in passing the outposts between eight and nine o'clock yesterday morning. They then made a dash upon some eighty men of the First Virginia, who were dismounted, feeding their horses. These men finding that they could not mount in time to resist the attack, prepared to defend themselves on foot. As the rebels came up, they gave them a volley which emptied a number of saddles and checked the onset. A desperate fight now occurred, and for a short time the First Virginia succeeded in keeping them at bay. But numbers told, and the rebels captured about half the force, the others fighting gallantly. One of our men was shot after he had given up his arms, and this
