Gay. Ut Philippi. !"

II amy reliance can be placed in
that tattting instrument, the teie-
graph, the long looked-for event has
happened ut last. It seems, SO at
least says the last dispatch. that the
troops of tho Confederate States,
numbering one thousand, We're at
tackled about daylight on Monday
the Sd inst, by three thousand Lin
colnites at Philippi. Barbour county,
Virginia. Being surprised, they were
compelled to retire about two miles TO
IA hill, where they stood firm and
gave the enemy Il warm reception.
After several encounters, in all of
which the foe was driven back, they
finally rstwated with a loss of seven
ty men. Our killed numbered six.
If this news be true, we look upon
it as the precursor of other and more
bloody engagements. 1t is certainly
gratifying intelligence TO us, and only
confirms the opinion universally en-
tertaincd by Scu,hrons. tha, we have
the best mettle aud are likely to be
victors against vast odds.
