The Ohio is now quite low, and at Leavenworth it spreads out for nearly a mile in width and becomes very shallow. It is at this point that boats frequently run aground during low stages of water. After crossing the river the rebels made no delay, but pushed rapidly forward for a raid into the river counties. Crawford, Orange, and Washington counties lay before them, and into these they pushed as rapidly as possible. They moved in a compact body, throwing out scouts on each side for the double purpose of guarding against surprise and bringing in any good horses that might be found.

Medicines, wearing apparel, and boots and shoes were also much in demand. After a stay of a few hours in ade. They were well armed with sabres, carbines, and revolvers, and uniformed in the regular uniform of rebel cavalry. They were estimated from eighty to one hundred and thirty strong-probably much nearer the former number.

They found Mr. Braxton, and, not content with taking his best horses, made him a prisonerll the animals of Morgan's cavalry. They had evidently seen hard service. Before arriving at Paoli the rebels entered the town of Vallini, Orleans County, the first that lay in their route after nd by the exertions of the citizens a portion of the village was saved from destruction. From Paoli the rebels moved toward Orleans, keeping up their system of stealing as they proceeded.

g's Mills the latter delayed a half-hour to plunder a store, and on arriving there in pursuit Major Woodbury found he was only a half-hour behind his game. The place where the rebels crossed the Ohio on their entrance into the State, was at Blue Island, in sight of Leavenworth. They reached this point about two o'clock yesterday. They had left several of their men on the opposite bank of the river, and the plan as arranged was for the latter to be at Blue Island at daybreak this morning witBlue Island at daybreak this morning with a ferry-boat to take them across. The reception by the inhabitants and the pursuit by Major Woodbury not having been looked for, hastened their departure about fifteen hours, and consequently the ferry-boat was not ready at the crossing-place. At the ford they discovered a force of home guards, so strongly posted that their hope of crossing by that means was cut off. The steamer Izetta had just reached Leavenworth, and the home guard at once placed a piece of artillery on board, and moved u

They ordered him to dismount and give up his horse, and on his refusal to do so he was shot through the head and left dead in the road. The Mitchell home guard rallied and attempted to pursue the retreating rebels; but as they were on foot their pursuit was of little avail. A f
