The Abiegden Virginian has the following about the probable, or rather improbable capture of the raiders: It is now reported that Col. May cut off their retreat through Burk's Garden, and that they attempted to make their way out through Mercer county, but when they get in the vicinity of the Cross Roads, they found that Celapel RcCarmland was in their front, and the only possible way for their escape was by the way of Rocky Gap, Bland county. When they arrived here they met the gallant Col. Wm. R. Peters. with a portion of his new regiment and a small force sent him by Col. May, to whom report says, the Yankees surrendered.
