The following in relation to the affair was communicated
y gentleman attached to the State government after the

IA men OF their troop thirty miles beyond Romney they
were accosted by who represented himself to be

oDer vas accepted the proceeding under the gu

One of the most brilliant affairs during this war occurred
last ednesday near Romney between small detachment

eight men charged the enemy, drove them in the utmost
confusion across the river, killing 20 and taking

five with his hand This said Winchester to have
been the most splendid affair during the campaign.
This was brought by gentleman who arrived yesterday
