Cavalry fight at Moorefield.--capture of Yankees by McNeill and Hobson. --In the early part of last week, Capt. Hobson, who commands a company of cavalry in the Valley of Virginia, learned that Capt. Hobson, who commands a company of cavalry in the Valley of Virginia, learned that the enemy in some force were at Moorefield and Petersburg, in Hardy county. With his company he determined to surprise or attack one or the other of these detachments. The enemy hearing of his movements laid their plans for his capture, but before they could execute them Hobson was joined by Capt; McNeill, whose activity as a partisan has given him a reputation in the Valley scarcely second to t, and ran through the town of Moorefield in a state bordering on nudity. Capts. McNeill and Hobson, with their captures, at once started out, taking the Howard's Lick road, for Gen. Imboden's camwere brought to this city. In the skirmish, Captain McNeill narrowly escaped being shot; his moustache having been neatly trimmed by the enemy's bullets. Capt. Hobson had his horse shot under him.
