REoPEXING OF THE BALFIMoER AND
OHIO RAlLWAY.-On last Monday nigh,
Gen. D. s. Niles, in command of the Rail-
way Brigade, stationed at Harper's Ferry,
arranged accommodating party, composed
of several companies ofJregular infantry,
with four pieces of artillery, and proceed
ed from Harper's Ferry along the line Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railway 10 Mar
tiusburg, and from thence to Sir johns
Run. Gen. Miles reported no enemy in
sight, and the railway opened for the re-
pairs needed. The injuries to the road and
bridges are not of a serious nature. The
following named bridges were only par.
TALLY burnt the 0pequan and the Pillar,
both between HarpeF's Ferry and Martins
burg, and the Back Creek bridge, ten miles
west of Martinsburg. The track was not
disturbed. Persons residing along the
line of the road state that the Con tederStes
expressed no desire to injure the road 10
any serious extent, only sufficient to pre-
vent engines aud cars from passing over
tue bridges while they (the Oonfsdsratss)
were in possession of Martinsburg.
Mr.. Wilson, roadmaster-iu-chief, and
NJ W. c. Quincy, assistant roadmaster,
have each large force of workmen under
them making the necessary repairs, aud,
the line will probably be restored to its
previous perfect condition by this evening,
and if SO, the road will be re.Opened on
Saturday next, and passenger and freight
trains are expected 10 be fully renewed on
that day, or by Monday morning at fur
thest. On Tuesday evening Gen. Miles,
with a considerable force, also made,
reconnaissance on the railway from
Harper's Ferry to Winchester. but the
result of his tnyesugattons are not
known. 1t is not believed, however,
that that railway has been much injured.
A large force of WOrkmea are being sent
hi1her to make the necessary repairs. The
railway will now probably be brought in
to extensive use for the purpose of supply
ing the army said to be now occupying the
Valley of Virginia. The entire railway
telegraph line between Baltimore and
Wheeling was again in operation at1oou
on Tuesday last. Mr., Q. wsstbtook, the
Superintendent of the line, was but ten
hours, With small force, making the nee
essary repairs, the damage was of such a
Gihtng character. II .si-..5
