Gen. Jones's expedition to the Northwest. Mention has already been made of the movements of the forces of Brig.-Gen. Jones, in command of our cavalry in the Valley of Virginia. The command left Harrisonburg on the 21st of April, and proceeded to Greenland, in Hardy county, where they effected the capture of about ninety Yankees. At this point the command was divided Col. A. W Harman, with the 12th Virginia regiment and the Maryland battalion, moving in the direction of Oakland, on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and Gen'l Jones to Chest river tunnel and Rowlesburg, where he inflicted some injury upon the road, but did not succeed in destroying the immense trestle work on Cheat river At Oakland, Col. Harman surprised and captured some sixty Yankees, and destroyed a railroad bridge at that point. From Oakland he went to Cranberry Summit, where he burned the Cheat river bridge, and then proceeded on to Morgantown, in Monongalia county. From Morgantown Col. Harman moved up to Fa

mistake. We have before us a letter from a member of the 12th regiment Virginia cavalry, giving an account of the expedition from the time it left Harrisonburg to the third day of the present month. The letter was written while the brigade of Gen. Jones was at Buckhannon, in Upshur county, where a junction had been formed with the forces under Gen. Imboden. The writer says: On the 20th we left Harrisonburg, went through Moorefield, and struck the Allegheny mountains at Greenland, Hardy county, nineteen miles from New Creek. At Greenland we captured seventy-five Yankees, including two Captains and four Lieutenants. Crossing the mountains, the brigade divided, our regiment (the 12th) and the Maryland battalion crossing the mountains in Allegheny county, Maryland. At Oakland we charged the town and caught seventy-five more Yankees, and burned the bridge. At Cranberry Summit, also on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, we caught about a dozen Yankees, and then marched to Cheat ri

e Albemarle District. In the Augusta District the contest between General Baldwin and Governor Letcher has been very animated perhaps the most excited in the election. This may be kept in doubt, also, by the army vote. In the Montgomery District the contest is also likely to be close. Mr. Edmondson, for so many years the representative in the Federal Congress, opposes Mr. Staples, member of the last Confederate Congress. Walter Preston, member from the Abingdon District, is opposed by the famous Fayette McMullan, who has been canvassing industriously for the position. In the district composed of Caroline, &c., which now includes Culpeper, Messrs. James Barbour, jr., and Dejarnette are the candidates. The other districts are entirely in the hands of refugees and soldiers in the army. In the Winchester District, Mr. Boteler, the present representative, was opposed by Col. Holliday. Shenandoah and Hardy counties are the only counties in the district in which polls could be held.

Prison Record. --At the Libby Prison yesterday there were thirty-seven Yankees received from Gordonsville, who were captured by Mosby's command at Fairfax Court House on the 5th day of the present month. Among them were some half dozen sutlers' clerks.--There was also a lot of nineteen received from Harrisonburg, captured by Capt. McNeill's command at New Creek, in Hampshire, and Moorefield, in Hardy counties, on the 4th of August. At Castle Thunder John Farley and George Maricy, Yankee deserters, and Henry Sanderson, company I, 6th Louisiana were committed on the charge of attempting to cross our lines to the enemy. There were also four other persons committed.
The Daily Dispatch: August 13, 1863., [Electronic resource], Reported fighting at Brock's Gap. (search)
Reported fighting at Brock's Gap. Yesterday evening a report was brought down by passengers from Staunton that the enemy have made two attempts to pass through Brock's Gap, which is a passage in the North Mountain, in Rockingham county, about twelve miles north of Harrisonburg. On Monday they made their appearance at the gap, but were easily and soon driven off by a portion of Gen. Imboden's forces. On Tuesday they renewed their attempt to force their way through the mountain pass, and this time in greater force; but they were a second time repulsed, with considerable loss. This force of Yankees is believed to be under command of Gen. Kelly, and that they have marched down through Hardy county from the neighborhood of New Creek and Cumberland. They are doubtless summing to reach Staunton.
The Daily Dispatch: August 17, 1863., [Electronic resource], From the Valley. (search)
From the Valley. From various sources of information we are assured that the Valley country is now unoccupied by the Yankees, and that the people once more breathe the air of freedom. The only Federal force we hear of is a report that they have a small body at Martinsburg, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which road perhaps the Government is rebuilding. One statement represents that our forces extend as low down as Shepherdstown, but this we are satisfied is unfounded. A Yankee force of infantry and cavalry, estimated at from two to three thousand, is on the South Branch, in Hardy county, and a short time since they were pressing horses, from which the inference is drawn that they contemplate a raid. The crops of corn and grass in the Valley are said to be excellent, scarcely ever surpassed in that productive region.
