, having first made all precautionary arrangements. Our own troops had no sooner reached the village than they scattered on a pleasure excursion. One of the first places to which they paid their respects was the store and post-office of one Turner, the Secession postmaster of the village. Being thus particularly inimical to the soldiers and the Government, Turner's house was at once visited by the troops. They smashed his furniture and ripped open his beds, finishing the work by splintering the old family clock. Turner himself was arrested in the woods, and brought into town, followed by his daughters. He was at once put under guard. A secession flag was found in his place, and great numbers of envelopes marked "Confederate States of America." The Secessionists appear to have been well armed in this fight. Those taken carried Minified muskets, of Harper's Ferry pattern. The subsequent occupation of Martinsburg has been narrated by telegraph. The seizure of the

While the fight was the hottest Serg Reeves, with Corp. Norvell and four privates, passed the creek with flying colors, having to wade up to their waist through the water, and planted the glorious bars and stars on the hill under an incessant fire from the enemy, whilst Reeves roared out to Turner to rally to their colors After repeated orders to retreat only, he fell back with his men to the main body. Company G lost two men more than I stated first--thus three in all. The dead are buried. A large apple tree shades their graves, and McLane's farm, which received their noble bodies, will forevermore be a sacred place in the memory of the whole South. They are carefully wrapped up in their blankets, and papers with their honored names attached to each of them. Peace be to

t, of the 1st Regiment of Cavalry, ordered Lt. South all, of the Amelia Dragoons, to go with twenty-eight men to the neighborhood of Pohick Church--a part of the country not hither to visited by our pickets — and station pickets at such points as he might think advisable. The Lieutenant proceeded immediately with the specified number of men, (detailed without regard to choice on his part,) from the several companies of the regiment, and on the Braddock's road stationed eight (8) men; at Turner's station, on the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, four; and on the Pohick road, eight more. With the remaining eight he himself went forth on to the Pohick Church. Soon after arriving at the Church, fifteen Yankee Dragoons made their appearance from a piece of pines, and immediately our nine men charged on them and put them to flight. It turned out, however, that these flying fifteen were only a small detachment of a large body of cavalry that were but a little distance off; and in a shor
