oom before it was entered by eight men dressed in Confederate uniform. Blackford soon discovered that they were Yankees in disguise, and at once left the house with his men, and started for their horses. The party of eight men followed them out, and commenced a fire upon them. The fire was returned by Blackford's party, and two of the enemy killed, but in the firing Capt. B. himself was shot down. The balance of his party escaped, although the town was soon filled with Yankee troops. Capt. Blackford was quite a young man, and had been in the service since the commencement of the war. For a long time he was a scout for the lamented Ashby, and possessed the confidence of his gallant chief. About two months ago he was betrayed and captured along with a party of his men, near Martinsburg, and taken to Fort McHenry. From this prison he subsequently escaped, and came back to his native State with renewed determination to avenge the wrongs there heaped upon him and his comrades.
