THE CAPTURE OF BUt KHANNhN AND

pnILApELPnlA, Sept. Q, 1862.

PEILADELPHfA, Sept. Q, 1862,
The Wheeling Press, in an extra issued on
Sunday, has the following intelligence
Buckhannon, Western Virginia has beef,
taken by the rebel cavalry, under Imoden and
Jenkins. ......
There is great alarm at Clarksburg.
Buckhannon is the shire town of UpShul
county, Western Virginia. 1t is about sky
five miles south of the Pennsy ylvania boundary
measuring by a direct Inc 1t contains five
or six stores. a court house, aud about two
hundred inhabitants 1t is west of the Laurel
Mountain, and is about forty miles from the
southwest corner OF Maryland by direct line
GRoTos, Va, August Sl--1O p NJ.
by special despatch to the Wheeling Mtsli-
gencer, it appears TO be certain that the guer-
rllas have taken Buckhannon and Weston.
There is great alarm at Csrksburg, and all the
movable public property has been removed. 1t
is reported TINT the rebels are advancing
against the place. A fight is expected there
to night The Twelfth Virginia may arrive in
time 10 participate. There are various reports
as to the force of the guerillas, ranging from
800 10 4,0O0; but the former is probably nearer
correct. There was u sharp fight at Buck
hannon, in which Showeler's company is
reported to have been badly cut up All The
reports are probably exaggerated.

were under fire for the first time, and
behaved with great courage aud cool
ness. Their advance was bravely led
by Lieut.. Lyon, of Go. B. Their loss
was two killed and seven wounded.
Companies B and d Of the Mass.
Oath had six men wounded. The Sd
N. \. Cavalry 2 killed and about 90
Wounded, most of them slightly. The
Sd N. Y. Artillery 2 killed and 5
wounded. Col. Potter's horse was shot
under him.
At their first entrance into the town,
the rebels succeeded in capturing two
or three old brass hewitzers, which
had been taken at the battle Of New
bern.
The most sad event 70 be recorded,
is the blowing up of the gunboat "Pick-
et." Through some carelessness at the
first beating to quarters, spark en-
tered and exploded the magazine, Cap
tain Nicoll of the Marine Artillery,
with 10 Of his men were killed and 4
wounded. But IA escaped.
The rebels had evidently deter
mined to capture the town. Their Of
fcers were heard vainly endeavoring
to reform their Lr ranks. The
road over which they made their flight
was found strewn with their equip
ments.
On Sunday strong reinforcementt
were forwarded to Washington, witt
which the town can be held against
any force. We give but scant &C
count of the affair, and shall be able
to give other particulars upon the ar
rival of the next boat.

A Successful Excursion.

Last Friday evening squad of eleven
Rebel soldiers were quietly landed from
the gun boat Picket, and in charge of Go.
b, lst N. c. Reg, as silently marched up
street and placed in secure quarters under
guard. SO secretly had the affair been
2lahed and executed that the absence of the
company and its commander had hardly
been noticed. From Lieut.. Lyon we CLEAN
the following details of the excursion.
lie with part Of his company (Sergt. At
well, acting as second in command) went
on board the Picket on Wednesday evening,
and slowly proceeded downthe river. When
off Goose Island the Picket ran aground
hard and fast, all efforts to get her off
proving i,sstfecipal. r,, sss
An Me- Of 80 ~Hfter midnight being
satisfied that the Picket was II fixture, the
Lieut.. decided upon a change of base, and
placing his men in three row boats started
for South Creek, q small stream that makes
into the Pamlico near its mouth. The men
pulled strong and well, but the boats were
crowded almost to sinking, so that il was
clear daylight when they made a landing.
Proceeding cautiously up the road to-
wards The plantation Of Mr.. Noah Guiford,
they saw that the ony policy was dash -

alarm--out bounded the Capt, seizing his
pants in his hand and dashed out the back
door through the corn field for the swamp
with the exception Of his neither garment
in state of nudity, and making such tre'
mendous strides.
Three shots were fred at him but he
escaped as also did Lieut.. Harrison, fol
which they may feel grateful to the river
shoal and their own feet limbs. The two
privatts with their rifles, (the Belgian pat
tern) were captured, one of whom had I,
be brought to, by several shots.
The party then returned to the Picket

might Lieut.. Lyon, with ten men wen
ashore on Goose Island where party o

returned next morning with eight prisoners
seven of whom were Trips men, and ais
three rifles and shot gun. The gunboa
was helped off by the steamer Eagle on he

Too much credit cannot be given to Ii
Lyon, for the capture of these prisoners b
his company. When it will he remember

this is the first expedition that they hav

Attack Upon Washington, N. G.
The Rebels RrpuIsed with Heavy Loss.

On last Friday, the 9Th, a large force
of rebels attacked our pickets on the
outskirts of Washington, at about four
o'clock A. M. A heavy fog rendered
it impossible to see over a rod, and
the rebel cavalry were upon our vi
dettes, before it was possible to give
any general alarm. A large number
of their cavalry charged into the town
through the main street. Col. Potter
and Lieut.. Col. Mix, with aportion of
the Sd N. Y. Cavalry and Artillery
had already started upon an expedi-
ton in the direction of Plymouth,
when, hearing the shots of our pickets,
they at once turned back. Riding fast
up the main street, they encountered
the rebel cavalry, and instantly drove
them back. =.
The rebel force, from the statements
of negroes and prisoners, is estimated at
from, six hundred to thousand infant
.4ryr siz eanpanies- Of casalFy, and a
battery. Of artillery. A portion of the
infantry had in the meantime entered
the town, and attempted to surround
the quarters of companies B and D, Of
the Mass. Oath, in the neighborhood o.
the wharves. In this they were lin.
successful. Our men Immediately
formed, and with tho assistance of
companies A and b, of the first North
Carolina Volunteers, forced the rebels
up Bridge street, to the other side Of
Main street, where they for time en-
sconced themselves in buildings and
behind fences, and opened fire of
musketry, to which our men replied.
Col. Potter advanced up Main st.
with his artillery and squadron of
cavalry, and stationed guns at the in
tersections of the streets, supported by
the companies of the 1st N. @. Vols.
To these the rebels replied with cannis-
ter from their artillery. The gunboat
Louisiana, Captain Renshaw, at the
same time kept up continual fire OF
shells, throwing them over the town
into the field beyond, and doing good
service, as several dead rebels found
there testified. A charge down Bridge
street was attempted by the rebels, but
encountering hot fire from the COM
panies of the Oath, they fell back
again behind their projections.
Several of the gunners at one Of the
pieces on Main street being wounded
the piece was withdrawn, and the in,
terveAing space being cleared of ouI
men, the Louisiana opened fire upon
the rebels in the houses and behind
the fences. The cavalry in the mean
time attacked aud kept in check the
bodies of rebels at the outskirts of tho
town. By this combined attack of ou
forces the enemy were driven back
and compelled to beat precipitate re
treat, carrying away their wounded
but leaving twenty-seven of their deat
in the town. They were pursued by
the cavalry to distance of nine miles
