Strange News,

The report of the retreat of two companies of
Virginia Cavalry before single company of
United States troopers, without even crossing
swords with them, is almost incredible news
We do not know what to make Of it. Is the
thing possible7 1t is said, in extenuation Of
this apparently dastardly conduct, that one com
pany was without pistols. But what vain and
empty excuse What is the use ofpistols in a
sabre fight The sabre, lot the pistol, is the
weapon tor charge of cavalry upon cavalry.
Still further-it is stated that the other company
OF Flrginians had pistols. They were two to
Que against the United States troops, and back
ed besides by company of rifemen. Good
God is this the sort of fighting Southern
troops intend to make? Why, with their rife
men and two sabres to one, they ought to have
ca; up the Lincolnnites to man, and pursued
the last man into the very encampment of the
enemy. Is the banner of the Old Dominion to
be thus trailed in the dust? Are there men
found in Virginia, thus to rob her of every yes
tige OF her ancient prestige, and more than all,
her honor, her glory in arms ?-CharlsSt on
