g off every man and gun. On the 14th we bivouacked near Martinsburg. On the 15th, near Darksville. On the 17th, received orders from division headquarters to return to Martinsburg and destroy the railroad, which was done. On that and the 18th were much annoyed by the enemy's cavalry, which kept driving in our cavalry pickets and threatening the working parties. Their audacity increased so that on Sunday, the 19th, they came within a mile of the town. I took the Fiftieth Virginia, Colonel Vandeventer, and after a skirmish lasting the whole day drove them back to a mile and a half of Hedgesville. The Fiftieth Virginia was relieved as skirmishers in the afternoon by the Forty-eighth, Lieutenant-Colonel Dungan. Both regiments, officers and men, behaved well; our loss, none. Enemy left six killed, one wounded. A section of Hart's artillery, Hampton's brigade, did very great service, and I had the benefit of the advice and presence of Colonel L. J. Baker, First North Carolina cavalr

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.military--East Tennessee, &c. Rose Hill, Lee Co., Va., July 16th, 1861. I see in giving a list of the companies in Gen. Floyd's Brigade, you put Capt. Vandeventer's company from Amherst county--it should be Lee county. We have four companies in the field from this county and one other organized, which will leave on the 18th to join Col. John Campbell's Regiment at Abingdon, and one other company nearly completed. We have had a good deaf of excitement here in relation to the Union feeling in East Tennessee, and the threatened rebellion, &c. I have seen a good many persons from different sections of East Tennessee, and from what I can learn, I do not think that the Union men will sustain the leaders in their rebellious move. A great majority, so far as I can learn say these are willing to submit. If the tory Johnson should attempt to bring forces through Cumberland Gap, or arms, he will meet with a warm reception. B.
