Guyandosse Taken BY the Rebels.

Guyandotte Taken by the Rebels.
! From various sources we gather the
following, which we believe is the sub
hstantial history of the transaction
There seems to have been one full com
pany of Union troops stationed there
and several fragments of companies,
which were being recruited, making al
together about one hundred and fifty
Union troops.
On Sunday night, all being quiet, and
no suspicion entertained of enemy
near. band of some eight hundred
rebel cavalry entered the town from
different points, attacking and utterly
routing the little force of Union men,
killing and capturing all but about fifty
who were fortunate enough to make
their escape. The attack was evidently
known to, and perhaps invited by the
inhabitants. Many of the citizens who
pretended to be Union men, as soon as
the rebels entered the place, joined them
in the murder of the raw recruits, shoot
ing them from their houses. A supper,
it seems, was all ready prepared for the
rebels, who were feasted by the inhabi
tants as soon as their work of butchery
was done. ..,.f..'...5 ...............
The rebels, it is said, got four hun
dred Enfield rifles, large amount of
ammunition, number of Cavalry horses
with their equipments, and a large
amount of the plunder. The gang
were headed by the notorious Jenkins.
Col. Lightburns 4th Virginia Regi
ment, or part of it, numbering four
hundred, started from PIT. Pleasant, as
soon as the news reached them, but did not
arrive until about an hour after the
rebels had left, on Monday morning,
with their plunder and prisoners.
So outrageous had been the conduct
of the inhabitants, that, fearing the ven
geanee of the Union troops, they nearly
all left with the rebels. Finding the
town deserted, and exasperated at the
worse than savage brutality of the mis-
creants, the soldiers fred the town, and
it is now a heep of smouldering ruins.
We have heard of several instances of
savage barbarity which, if true, places
the perpetrators beyond the pale of hu-
man sympathy for any retaliation that
may be meeted out to them by the
friends of the Union. We refrain at
present from reciting these horrors, in
the fai mt hope that they may have been
exaggerated.

Good, if True.

A dispatch to the Philadelphia Press
states that Gen. Mcclellan has, through
means not made public, informed him
self very minutely of the movements of
the enemy, the number and strength of
their batteries at and in the vicinity OF
Manassas junction, the number of guns
they have mounted, and the strength of
their army. He is guided in his ope-
rations by full knowledge of all their
important movements.

B@A correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, writing from Wild cat
Bridge, in KY, gives graphic account
of the swearing in" of a Judge Jack
son, by military officer. AS an act of
aggravated humiliation to naughty Sc :
cessionist, it might do well enough, but
for any other purpose the thing is much
worse than a farce. The same writer
says that Gen. Lee, of Virginia, has su-
perceded Zollicoffer in the command of
the rebel army, at the "Gap," which
numbers $4,000 men.

The Noblest Deed of all.


From the intense feeling of indigna-
tion with which the people, and partic-
ularly the army, of the West, greeted
the removal of Fremont, it was feared
that mutiny and insubordination would
demoralize our forces.
But with noble forgetfulness of self,
Fremont has exerted all his influence,
which is nearly omnipotent with the
army, to induce them to forget the I'M us
tice done to him in their devotion to the
country. He has gone from ca mp to camp,
inspiring the soldiers with his own unset
fish patriotism, until he has induced
them, for the sake Of their country, to
fight under the very officers whose envy
had sacrificed him at the risk of the
cause of constitutional liberty.
This is manifesting the real merits Of
the man, and show him to be nobler and
greater, and will bind to him the faith
Of the people, more than hundred vic
tories would have DONE The noblest
deed of all this war, as history will pre-
serve it for posterity, is the manner in
which Gen. Fremont has met his at
tempted degradation.

Atlanta, Georgia, for the Old Domminion, on
Friday last. The company from LaGrange
contains some fourteen lawyers. Only three
or four men in the company are under FIVE
feet six-forty of them six feet high. An
other company was formed in LaGrange on
Friday, ana have rendered their services.
The city authorities, Mayor, Common Coun-
Gil, and prominent citizens of LaGrange, met
in their several capacities on that day, and
adopted resolutions authorizing the compa-
nies who have gone. who may go, to draw
on the city and county treasury to any ex-
tent-without any limit-tor whatever amounts
of money they may need or want for their
personal comforts and cOnvenieuces while in
service; and the wealthy men of LaGrange
and the county of Iroup came forward and
pledged themselves and their estates that all
drafts SO made should be promptly honored,
to any amount whatever. The sum of s., 500
was raised by voluntary contributions and
handed over to the two companies as a con-
tingent fund for immediate wants.

Runored Engagement.-A rumor, which we
could trace to no authoritative source, pre-
vailed here yesterday, that detachment Of
Virginia Artileryrnen, stationed at Gloucester
Point, or some other place down the river had
fred into one of Lincoln's ships that had
been disco cred in too close proximity to the
shore, sounding, and that the piratical craft
had returned the salute, and then cut out. It
is presumable, of course, that if o lr men saw
the enemy, they fired on him. The engage
ment alluded to above is rather misty. We
understand that courier arrived here yester-
dav, via York River Railroad, with dispatches
for Gov Lctcher.

False Rumor.-We were credbly informed
yesterday, as we imagined ut the time, that a
member Of Col. Greggs regiment of South
Carolina Volunteers had been shot by a senti-
mel on Tuesday night, at the Old Fair Grounds,
and instantly killed for advancing, after being
hailed several times. The rumor was preya-
lent. We saw one man who kneto tho fact,
having seen the body. We were afterwards
informed by a member of Col. Gregg's com
mand that no such occurrence took place. lie
had heard rumOrs that man had been shot
at the Central Fair Grounds, Tuesday night,
for disobeying a sentinel, and that wooden
post was seriously damaged, but did not bo-
licve it, Chasing rumors to permanent found

the meantime, we learn that they will petition
the County Court to place the company al
once in effective service by assigning the CON-
mand to special patrol duty, in order that the
entire community bordering on the city limits
may be kept in a state of protection from mid
night prowlcrs, incendiaries, and such vermin
who are thought, and not without reason, to
inest the suburbs. The roll-book of the corps
now embraces forty odd names. call for
additional volunteers will be made at Spring

no doubt will be literally responded to. At a
company meeting held Tuesday night the fol-
