ting from Romney, Va, on the 10th,
gives the following version of the fight
at New Creek Bridge:
Last night detail of men from the
Sd Tennessee and 18th Virginia regi-
ments, about 200 men in all, were or
dered to New Creek depot, in this coun-
ty, on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
about twenty miles from Romnoy. This
morning our men came down upon the
Yankees about breakfast time, and as
soon as the jeff. Davis boys came in
sight, the federal officers formed their
men in line Of battle, and when cur boys
got within about 400 yards of the enemy,
they gave one yell and went towards
them in double quick" vixen, after the
first fire. the Yankees took to their heels,
Notwithstanding their superior M mbers
and choice Of position, and made : 10
speed through the woods. Our men pur-
sued them, but the yankees made such
fast time that we could not catch them.
Our men took possession of their flag,
some small ct eefer0S, two pieces Of can
non, their breakfast. which they had
just got ready, burnt TIE bridge and re-
turned to town, leaving Il sufficient
force TO guard the mountain pass. Tncir

All Outrage upon Marylanders.

Whilst Lloyd Lowe, Esq, one of the most
respectable citizens of the county, accompa-
MED by his little son aid another man was
on his way up the canal in boat to Cum
herland he was attacked in most cowardy
manner by about 40 armed men from the
Virginia side. Mr.. Lowe says they drew
themselves Up into line three times, and fired
three rounds upon him but that he escaped
entirely although many Of the balls struck
close to him. This dastardly assault is with
out any excuse or provocation whatever -
Lowe has given no offence to the VireinianS,
unless it be that he is a staunch Union man.
greater outrage was committed by the
same parties near the same place, one day
last week. While Christopher Kelly. re-
spectacle and wealthy farmer of the Olltown
district, was at work on his farm, he was for
chilly carried away and taken to Romney
where it is supposed he is now confined in
Jail No cause for this high handed outrage
can be imagined unless Mr. Kelley's strong
union sentiments were obnoxious to the Vir-
ginia Secessiohists The condition of our
people along the Potomac is becoming fear
fully bad 1t could not be any worse if we
had q tribe Of Camanche Indians lining our
borders.

The following is a sketch from his life -
Before the polls were opened, he address,
ed the people Of the county to the following
effect lie told them that the late prorcc.
dings Of the Nirginian assembly had filed
him with apprehension and alarm; that they
had planted thorns upon his pillow; that
they had drawn him from that happy retire
inent which it had pleased bountilul Prov
idence to bestow, and in which he had ho-
ped to PASS in quiet, the remainder Of his
days; that the state had quilted the sphere
in which she had been placed by the Consti-
tutiou and in daring to pronounce upon the
validity of federal laws, had gone out of her
jurisdiction in a manner not warranted by
any authority, and in the highest degree a.
farming to every consderate man that such
opposition on the part of Virginia, to the
acts of the general government; must beget
their enforcement by military power; that

war, foreign alliances; and that foreign alli-

Southern Union Men In PhIladel-
phia.

A gentleman extensively acquainted
in the Southern States, informs US that
at this moment over one thousand south
ern Union gentlemen are now sojournlng
in this city. for safety from the armed
rabble now dominant in southern cities.
parties are from the Mississippi cities
from Memphis to New Orleans, aud from
probably every inland city in the slave
holding States. These parties are men
of substance, who have fed from the tur-
MOL of secession TO the peace and quiet
ness of Philadelphia. Many of them
have lost large sums of money, and have
reconciled themselves to the loss. We
saw such gentleman last evening, who
left in New Orleans a large amount of
real estate, and fed with nothing more
than the money he had in bank at the
time the trouble commenced. Despite
the idea to the contrary, he declares
that strong Union feeling prevails in
New Orleans, but the terrors of the as
sassn's knife overawe all demonstrations
of patriotism.
At this very moment, says the infor.
mant, life and property in New Orleans,
Natchez, Memphis, Vicksburg and 9TH
err secession towns are no more secure
than in the least civilized portion of the
European Continent The principal ill.,
centivc to the abandonment of his home
was the outrage upon neighbor, who,
for no other crime than loving the T.
Mon, was horribly mutiIated atthe hands
of a self constituted vigilance committee.
At Memphis the laws are now modcra-
tive, and any man bearing enmity TO-
ward another may successfully denounce
him as an abolitionist, unless he happens
to possess greater influence than his in
formant.
We learn these facts from gentlemen
now residing at one of our hotels, who
consider themselves fortunate in esca.
ping with life from the enmity of the
rebel rabble. In all the south there are
but two men who dare to speak out for
the Union, and those men are Parson
Brownlow, of Tennessee, and George d.
Prentice, of louisville, Kentucky. -

eral of the men by swimming got back

Capt Ward on the Freedom protected
his men as far as possible with his guns,
and fired twelve or fifteen shot among
the Confcderates, but with what effect
could not be ascertained While in the
act of working gun after, it is said the
gunner had been wounded, Capt. Ward
was struck in the breast by bullet and
in the course of an hour thereafter died
from internal hemorrhage.
