SECURING THE CoUNTRY.-The Alexandria
Gazette says that the Artillery, of that place,
on arriving at Winchester, heard a report OF
an attack by party of insurgents on some
citizens, At Berry's Ford, whereupon the Ar
tillery at once pushed on to the Ford but find
ing on their arrival that the report was un-
founded, they proceeded to scour the country
round, and made some few arrests of suspi-
cious characters, who, however, were soon re-
leased after an examination, in which nothing
was found against them.
The Alexandria Sen ti.el thus describes 4
visit Of the military to Underwood's farm, for
the purpose of arresting his orerseer, Feltner
who is looked upon as seditionist:
The Underwood farm is situated in Clarke
county, in the Blue Ridge mountains. The
Shenandoah river here presses close against
the western base of the mountain. The farm
is about three miles from Welsh's Mills (dr-
ven by the Shenandoah about four miles from
Berrys Ferry, and about the same distance
from Paris, in Fauqnier, and at the eastern
mouth of Ashby's Gap of the Blue Ridge
mountains. The detaehments secured the
mountains as they moved, and after a labor
ions march of twelve or fourteen miles reached
the farm about the same time. The house was
visited by the Clarke Guards, when the mother
OF Feltner came to the door armed with ar axe.
She proved to be a specimen" She opeued a
yolley of rare virago clog quence-cursed and
swore and brandished her axe, and forbade
misunderstanding the direst vengeance and
declaring that she had abundance of men in
the mountains to make her threats good.
Tue house being searched, Ii was found that
Feltner was not there. He had taken to the
bush. The mountain search was renewed, but
without success, and the men returned to Ber-
ryviile late at night.
