WASHINGTON, Ang. % The gunboaI
Resolnte, acting Master To!e, arrived this
morning, bringing the body of Michael
Ryan, who was killed on the 2lst near the
mouth of the RapPahanuock.
From one of the officers the following
particulars were obtained;
Recently Master Tole, with boat crew
from the Resolute, proceeded up Sturgeon
Greek about three miles TO cut out two
vessels which they had been informed were
up the creek. Ga reaching the place they
cut out one of them and were towing it
down, when it ran aground. They set
about getting it off, when they were fred

1-ExctrEMEET IN FAIRMoNT, CLARKs-
BURG AND OTHER PoINTs.-0n Friday night
the citizens of Fairmont were considerably
alarmed by report that the place was
about to be attacked by a band of guerrillas
from the West Fork of the Monougalia riv-
er. The people were in arms.
The same excitement existed in Manning
ton, and the people of the town were on
the alert. On the same night, all the
soldiers having been ordered away from
CIarksburg, the citizens of that place stood
guard. A general feeling of uneasiuess ex-
lists in all of this country, and for very
good reasons. Gen. Kelley has found it
necessary to take the regular troops with
him to Tucker aud Randolph counties; most
of the able bodied, fighting men from tho
above named points, have enlisted in the
United States service, and are now being
organized at Camp Wiley. Those who re-
main at home have no guns with which to
defend themselves, and the rebels, in view
of the proposed draft, are organizing them
selves into guerrilla companies.
Thos. HOrnbrook, Esq. as agent for
the Governor shipped to Warrington on
Saturday morning number of guns and a
lot OF Ammunition.

letter from Cedar Mountuin makes men
ton of a little affair 10 Viii h Msjor John
Krepps and his battalion of the First yir
GINA Cavalry were engaged on the nth
The Major, in company with several other
officers, was taking breakfast at the resi-
deuce of Mr. Hill, brother of the rebel Ma
jor General Hill, when an orderly rushed
in mud exclaimed "the rebels are upon
US: they have chased our pickets five miles
and are now on the hill in full view of the
house." OF course there was quick rising
from the table. and rapid progress made in
the direction ofthe horses. The residence
of Mr.. Hill is upon a slight elevation just
over Crooked Run, and within a quarter of
"a mile of Gen. Sigers headquarters. The
ran separates the two mansions. The ouly
force we bad between the Rapidau and
Crooked Run at the time was four COM
pauies of the First Virginia Cavalry, under
command of Major Krcpps, aud section
of artillery. Major KrePPs had good rea-
son to be alarmed, but when he rose from
the table to take command of his battalion.
he seemed as cool as if he was simply going
out to attend a morning drill. The mo-
ment the officers reached the lawn in FROM
of the house. there stood the rebel pickets
staring them in the face. Ifthey had pos
sessed sufficient pluck they might have
dashed down upon them aud taken the of
ficers prisoners before relnforcements from
the other side of the river could have ar
rived. But after having rode almost into
the jaws of our army, aud taken good
look Mt our encampments, they turned their
horses heads toward the Rapidan, taking
with them, as reward for their audaclty,
Lieut.. Black, two COrporals and three pri-
vntes of company "A. Second Virginia vol
untcers, who had been out upon picket du-
ty. Major Krepps, with his mounted bat
tallion and two regiments of Infantry from
General MilroY's brigade, pursued and
drove them across the Rapidau. Once safe
" across the river, they assumed the often
sive, and brought section of artillery to
bear upon US, fired three rounds, none
of which took effect, aud then rested for
the remainder of the day.

Any officer of this division who per.
mits his command to be surprised, or who,
while he has round of ammunition left,
surrenders hiss command to the enemy,
will be tried for neglect of duty and cow

In accordance with the articles of war a
surprise is never excusable, and there can
never even be any pplliaIiou for an otfeuse
so grave as tue gross neglect of duty which
alone can make it possible. A surrender
is only excusable when there are no longer
any defenders or means of defense, or
when there is no possible chance of escape
by cutting through the enemy, and even
then the true soldier will strike one blow
