hSy- HARD MARcH-How STUART's
CAVALRY WAS PUR.rED We have been
entirely 10 the dark as to what Gen. Cox's
brigade was doing down about Hancock
for so long a time after it started TO come
back to Western Virgins A htIer IRON
soldier in the bri9ad,. dared CIaiksbnrg,
October 18th, throw some light on the sub
jecs.
Once more are we on our old stamping
ground-Western Yirginia-and right glad
are we to get back While we were at Flat
Top we were all very anxious to get away,
and participate in some great battle. We
have been gratifed to our hearts content,
and are as glad to get back as we were to
get away. We did not have very hard
marching while there, but we did not live
near as well as we do here, and the men
are all worn out. We left our camp, on
Antietam creek, on the 9Th, and marched
to Hagerstown. The day was excessively
hot, and the pike was very dusty. 1t was,
without any exception, the hardest days
march we have ever done. The dust near

morning that could hardly move, and il
was some time before | could get around.
But we had to be up aud at it again the next
day, which was not quite so warm nor the
road so dusty. Our destination WAS Han
cock, distant from Hagerstc8n &c miles.
We marched about half the distance and
on the next day completed it. When we
were within FIVE miles of Hancock n mes
senger came tearing up aud reported that
there were rebel cavalry in the rear of our
train. This raised great excitement at the
time. The 2sth regiment was sent double
quick to the roar, and the train was put on
doubIe-quick in the front. The three COM
panies Of our cavalry also went to the rear.
Soon, however, all came back and report
ed that it was our own cavalry that bad
been seen, and we proceeded on our way.
1t has since been learned that tbiswas Stu
arts cavalry, and bad this division been
about two hours later they would have run
against us. Had it been known at the time
that it was Stuarts cavalry we could have
pursued Immediately, but we proceeded
across the river to Hancock and got
aboard the cars. We ran up and down the
track distance of about three miles for
two nights and day. On Sunday, the
18th, the First Brigade got off the cars aud
recrossed the river to Hancock. We march
ed back on the pike about five miles, and
then struck across the country toward
Pennsylvania. At this place Maryland is
only about five miles across; SO it was not
long till we passed the line and were in
Pennsylvania. We marched about ten
miles into the State toward Chambersburg.
As nothing could be heard of Stuart the
command retraced its steps and returned to
Western Virginia. The letter states that
the brigade expected to move back by way
of Weston, Sutton Summeryille and Car
nifex.

RAJ MAJoR PHELPS SHOT ny BROTHER
oEFICRR.-We learned yesterday from a
gentleman who has just arrived from Point
Pleasant, that few days since Major
Phelps. o: the 9Th Virginia Infantry, was
shot by Major James b. Dayton, of the 4th.
1t appears that Phelps by some means re-
garded as foul succeeded 10 seducing the
sister of Dayton. The latter upon discoy-
eriug the fact determined at once to be
avenged. Phelps had started from Point
Pleasant to CeredO, when he was followed
by Dayton who overlook him upon the
road between the two points, and, drawing
a revolver shot him, lodging four balls in
his body, and killing him almost instantly
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Com.

signs upon the lady without marrying her.
He being married man could not legally
marry her, and consequently took this plan
to accomplish his ends. He carried her
away from home, and no one knows were

by letter from his father, and became al
most crRzed. He learned of Major Phelps
being in Gallipolis, and came here. but tbe
Major had started for Ceredo. Major pay
