--The
Staunton (Va.) Vindicator, speaking of the escape of the
Yankee raiding party which was repulsed near the
White Sulphur Springs by
General Jones, says:
‘
We learn that they, after being repulsed and driven back by
Gen. Jones at
Dry creek, were met by
Col. Jackson, again repulsed and forced back in the direction of
Dry creek, and were compelled to take a different route from the one they had purposed going out by. They fell back forty miles in one day to Greenbrier bridge, in
Pocahontas, where they were reinforced.
Jackson was skirmishing with them.
He has since driven them to
Big Spring, at the edge of
Randolph county, capturing over 100 horses in their retreat, and killing about 40.
Jackson's loss was two killed and fifteen captured.
