TIE TRAINS RECAPTURED BY OUR FORCES
REBEL sYMPATHiZER NEAR FAIRFAX
KILLED.
Mosebys guerrias are still infesting the region OF
country between Alexandra asd Fairfax, and they
make continued attacks upon suffers trains, gong
and coming. On Thursday, while train OF ID or
~ wagons (returoiug) was about four miles thl,
side of Fairfax, tho driver Of the wagon ahead
noticed cavalrynian standing 10 the road VINO
bcckoned him 70 come on. Believing him to be q
Rebel guerrilla but ut the same time not daring 70
disregard the motion 10 move on, he slowly drove
his team forward and was captured and taken INTO
the woods near by. Shortly aiterward the rest OF
the train was also captured and taken also into
the same locality, wnere were about 81 Of Moseoy
gang who commenced al once TO secure the horses
attached to the wagons, aud to compel the drivot1
and those connected with them TO shell out all they
had about then, even " pocket combs ana JACK
knives.
But the Rebel, had scarcely received their booty
whea the Federal cavalry dashed in among them
and comrelled them 10 skedaddle ia hot haste. IL
appears that Co. +, Of the First Maine cavalry was
on Its way TO Alexandria to exchange thsir horse'
which had been broken down 10 the service, TOT ne"
aud freh ones and the orderly OF the MAJOR OF tne
regiment Ia boy between III ana 10 years Oh heel,
ana tue Orderly Sergeant Of Company r, were tne
first to espy the graybacks, and without hesila'io,
they drew their sabres and with cooked pistols, io
lowed the course Of the wagons into the woods, an
90 frightened the guerrlas that they took to their
horses and scampered OH.
The guerrillas may have supposed there was
LARGER force behind bu. cersin 1t 10 that these two
yoing men drove the party OIL. They slashed rsh
and left with their sabers, aud used their pistol
| freely ,nfc.inZ wounds upon several OF the guer
rilas who were taken completely by surprise, and
therefore could offer resis snce. All the wagon,
were recaptured but the Rebels managed to get Oh
with some OF The horses and an amount OF money
and other valuables Which they had .aken from we
drivers Of the wagons
As coon the affair was over the suffers msoe az
purse Of such money 90 the saerrliias had ho'
taken, and banded 1t over 10 the brave boys who
had thus effected their release.
Yesterday, another train was attacked about three
miles this side OF Fairfax by the same band OF euer
riIlas. but tho marauders were again driven OIL by
our cavalry aud with l)es As the train was passlns
near Goolen's Tavern, about three miles this eide
Of Fairfax, the tayern-kseper, Jas. Coyle lwho II
known by the sutlers and teamsters as sympatni
ger with the South, made some tanuts that they
would not get through safely, bit would give theii
no satisfaction, when questioned, Nd 10 tue nature
of the danger threatening them, al the same time
expressing qualification AT tue prospect OF evil be
! falling them Coyles words came true. The tran
Was attack ed short distance further on, but was
few moments aftefward resapiured BY our cavalry
Coyle, il appears, las long oeen suspected Of aid
inc The Rebels and his condict yesterihy 50 enraget
the victim. and others that he subsequently, sho
dead IL his own house, aud his corpse was LYING
there when the train left.
These suffers, who have Of late suffered so much
complain severely VI the action OF parties In Viz
gibia, who are believed to he Rebel sympaIhizers
but who are suddenly transformed ioto Union mel
the moment their residences or property are within
/ our lines, and they at once obtain guards OF Union
soldiers to protec, their property. Tue suffers atrib
u,e all their recen. osses this kind OF people anC
they ayow u determination 10 take tue law Int
their own hand. aud wipe the synPAthizers from th
lace Of tho earth, If the Government will Lot &C
cord them adequse protection.
! They swear vengeance against any sympaihizer
they may meet u any " ILeir trips to aud from tn
army, in future. What ia said TO be Mosebys gang
