nExr-THREs ENGAGEMENTS IN ONE DAY-THE
REBELS ROUTED AND THEIR CAMP EQUIPAoE
DEsTRoYED-On Sunday last Col. Burbridge,
who is in command at Greensboro, received q
call from Colonel McHenry, at or near Morgan
town, for help, as he anticipated an attack BY
heavy force of the enemy That same evening
COL Burbridge left Greensboro with two hun.
dred and fifty or three hundred men, and two
cannon-about one hundred of his men being
cavalry from Col. Jackson's regiment; the rest
was infantry, with their supplies in their KNAPP
sacks. This little band made forced march to
the bank of the river opposite Woodbury., which
they reached Tuesday afternoon
The ferryboat was on the Woodbury. side, in
charge of two rebel sentries and black man.
The sentrics were picked off by rife shots across
the river. a distance of nearly three hundred
yards, and Col Burbridee then ordered the ne
gro to take the boat across. Into the boat he
put one of his cannon and portion of his forces
while the balance of his rifles and the second
gun protected his advance against the rebels,
who mad formed on the river bank. Making n
landing with his squad, he charged upon the
enemy, driving them back into the town.
Meanwhile the balance of his forces were cross
ing as rapidly as possible. They were all over
before it became dusk, and they made charge
through the town, driving the enemy before
them. On the way through they were fred upon
with several shots from houses, which they in
stantly riddled. Unfortunately, ana 10 the re-
greet Of all our men, woman thrust her head
out of one Of the windows, and, in the dusk Of
the evening. was not distinguished as woman.
She was shot in the forehead and killed. TIE
surgeon who attended the expedition reported
six or seven killed in the houses.
The enemy retreated to his camp in the rear
of the town, which Col. Burbridge Immediately
attacked, utterly routing the entire force, some
four or five hundred in number; he took pos
session of the camp with equipage for 500 men,
and all their camp utensils; but as he had no
means of transportation, the entire camp was
burned
Two prisoners were taken, named Ives and
Lewis, and brought to this city this morning !;
one Of them from Alabama, one from MISSISSIPPI
pi. One of them is reported to be captain,
the other private
About the same time, Colonel Aehenry, with
some 200 men, made an attack on camp OF
the enemy at or near Aorgantown, ana took .
