The next morning they heard the report of the firing at Phillippi, and, in disguise, accompanied by a country woman, returned to Phillippi on foot to see what had been the result.--They moved about amidst the enemy without being detected or molested in the least degree. Going into one of the houses, they found James Withers, of the Rockbridge Cavalry, who had concealed himself there to prevent the enemy from capturing him.

The ladies were completely exhausted when they arrived at our camp. The severe trials and hardships through whMr. Withers before they reseued him. The ladies were completely exhausted when they arrived at our camp. The severe trials and hardships through which they had passed — the cold that they had contracted by riding in a very hard rain, produced a very serious illness, from which they have not entirely recovered at the present time. I almost forgot to mention that after the enemy had learned of this exploit, Col. Kelley, their commander, immediately offered a thousand dollars reward for their capture. Deeming it unsafe to return home, they came to this city, and are now at the residence of Ohas. Campbell, Esq., where they are kindly cared
