The Daily Dispatch: December 19, 1862., [Electronic resource], Affairs in the valley. (search)
Affairs in the valley. We were in error yesterday in stating that the enemy had probably again reoccupied Winchester. A gentleman who left there on Monday morning says that some excitement existed in the town at that time, resulting from reports that the enemy were approaching in considerable force on the Martinsburg and Pughtown roads, but that the report proved to be unfounded, and our cavalry force had returned. On Thursday of last week some thirty five of the enemy made a dash upon our picket post at Darksville, Berkeley county, and succeeded in capturing thirteen of our men, who were negligent of their duty, and permitted themselves to be surprised. From the same source we learn that a number of the Marylanders who have been drafted into the Lincoln service are deserting and crossing the river. One day last week ten came over in a gang who crossed at Shepherdstown.

Reconstruction of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad attempted. A resident of the Lower Valley, who arrived here last night, says that no doubt exists that the Yankees are reconstructing the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad west of Martinsburg. It is reported that they have considerable forces at North Mountain and Back Creek, on the line of the road, and that there is also a force at Martinsburg. Our pickets extend to Darksville, between Bunker Hill and Martinsburg, on the turnpike leading from Winchester to the latter place. We have a cavalry picket a few miles west of Harper's Ferry. There are said to be very few troops at the Ferry the most of them having been withdrawn a few days provicts to the engagement at Fredericksburg.

of Gen. McReynolds. They are encamped upon the land of the Hon. Chas. J. Faulkner, in a beautiful grove of fifty acres south of his residence. At first the soldiers seemed civil and well-behaved, but more recently they have shown their usual propensities to pillage, plunder, and destruction. The most elegant ornamental trees have been cut down. Everything in the form of poultry, vegetables, fruits, and flowers have disappeared in the vicinity of their encampment. Mr. Faulkner's fine library has been pillaged, and the solid mason wall around the large lawn in front of his house torn down in several places, admitting the town stock freely upon his shrubbery and walks. The cavalry from this point make their raids to the neighborhoods of Darksville, Gerrardstown, and Winchester, seizing cattle, sheep, and horses. It is stated that Mrs. Faulkner has received notice to evacuate her residence, it being the purpose of the Yankees to convert it into a permanent their sick and wounded.
