The Burning at Winchester.

A gentleman direct from Winchester informs as that the buildings burned there by the Yankees did not include Taylor's Hotel, nor the block on which it is situated. They were four or five brick buildings around the depot which they had used as store-houses. In their hasty retreat they carried off what they could, and then burnt the buildings with the remainder in them.

There was a slight brush on the Thursday after, near Charlestown on the Martinsburg road between the enemy's cavalry and ours, in which we had two men slightly wounded. The Yankee cavalry then left for Martinsburg.
