WISoaEsrzR. wednesday March 70. 1881
StrJsburg is now in the possesson OF our troops
who entered il last Sunday evening, Jackson army
retreOting on our approach
The Michigan Cavalry led The advance, and Gen.
Shields Diyi,ion followed Ashby's Cavalry pro-
tected the retreat Of the Rebels, and gave good
deal Of annoyance to our forces.
4 bridge was burned by the Rebels, which also
caused considerable delay TO our advance.
The railroad bridge at Harpers Ferry was COM
pleied Last night.
The railroad il aso completed from Cumberland to
&artinsburg but il viii take several days to finish
the road from Martinsburg to the Ferry, in conse-
quen.e Of The want Of tie rails taken up by the
enemy
Two trains start from here for HarperJ Ferry
to-day.
Messengers from Straaburg report that the rear
guard of Jackson disputed Gen. Shieldss approach,
foot by foot, with infantry and artillery.
1t is reported that our cavalry occupied the town
sitter the moon rose.
The agent of Adsms's Express is now here TO re-
establish an office.
The official report rays that Gen. Shields encoun-
tered the rear guard Of Jacksons forces just beyond
Middletown. With four ieldpiec.s and small bodies
of infantry and cavalry, they disputed Gen. Shields
progress. stopping at all the strongest points, aud
then retiring. They creased Cedar Creek and de-
stroyed the bridge
Gen. Shields this morning built a temporary bridge,
and after skirmisb entered the town and threw out
bis pickets two miles beyond
The loss Of the enemy is not stated.
The cavarymau wounded yesterday in skirmish

Government to proceed with the work, Maine
loaning money to cover the expenditure to the
extent of 100000.
APPOINTMENT.
Capt. Isaac II. Morrow, of Columbus, Ohio.
has been appointed additional Aide-de-Camp to
Gen. Hunter.
THE CASE or AYERS AND WATT.
IL is probable that when the House Commit
tee on the District Of Columbia reports on the
resolution referred TO il on the motion OF Dir.
LOyejOy, it will appear that Louis Ayers and
Washington Watt. whom Mrs. Brscoe Of
Georgetown sent TO Baltimore for SALE were
not free men, as supposed, but had been held
az slaves one by her and one by her daughter,
and were sold for being unruly, and absolutely
refusing to give thoir mistresses any part OF
their wages. Mcs. BfiscOe would have been
satisfied with half, it is said; but that they
should take the whole Of their own earnings
to themselves, was too much, and disturbed
the peace of the household.
IL is rumOred that bigb-born ladies Of George
town, some Of whom own forty or fifty slaves
blame Congress without stint for meddling with
what they call their private affairs, meaning
their human chattes.
SENATOR STARK'S LOYALTY.
Senator Howard is Chairman OF the Select
Committee TO inquire into Senator Storhs
LOYALTY. The other members are Messrs. Clark,
Rice. Wiley. and another not yet named,
Senstors Howe and Anthony having each de-
cned 10 serve.
THE REBEL STEAM RAMS.
Government has information from several
sources that the four steam rams now building
by the Rebels, two at Mobile and two at New
Orleans. are similar 10 construction, though
undoubtedly more formidable, than the HollinS
turtle. They will, however, it is believed, bear
no comparison with the Merrimac.
INDIAN DEPREDAIIoNs IN COLORADO.
A letter received from Fort WISE Colorado
Territory, dated March /, states that the
KowAs have recently been in the habit Of
leyyiDg black mail upon the Santa fe mail, as
an inducement for them to stop rObbing the
coach and the passengers Of their provisions.
These depredations have been overlooked on
account of the destitute condition of the In
dams, they being unable to reach The Buffalo
country, owing TO tho prevalence Of the small.
po1 among them. These Indians are, perhaps
also, eIaspersted by being driven from their
Southern homes by the Texans, and have long
wished 10 make treaty with the United States
Government, but, being put of from time to
time, sud being jcinsd by the Comanches,
together with their hunger. they have been
induced 20 act 10 the manner they do.
