WARRINGTON. Thursday, April 90 1863
Your correspondent with Gen. Stahei forwards the
following: 400.
ALprs, "Wednesday, April 20, 1869.
Gen. S.ahel, with about 1000 cavalry and b. lt
battery. left Fairfax Court House on Monday mora
ing last. to make q reconnaissance In force toward
Warrenton and the Blue Ridge, taking the Aide
pike. The column moved on TO Aldie without
meeting any force of the enemy. Several captures
of Moseby' bushwhackers were made, some on foot,
who were hoping 10 pick of scout or two for the
sake of the horses
AT Aide the advance guard ran q small party Of
Moseby's men out of the town, capturing three.
From Aide to Middeburg light skirmisbing WIS
continued on all sides with guerrillas, who were
watching our movements.
At Middleburg, Moseby. who preceded the COM
mand UP the road with about ffteeu men, succeeded
in getting from fifty 10 sixty together. A charge
through the town by tho advance guard routed
thei., however. end drove them to the woods be-
yoDd, from which tbeJ were dislodged and scattered
by q half s,o.sp shss from Csrs. Dsni~iss b.sa.sz.
ing parties were cent out toward Smokers and Ash
bys Gaps but found nothing but scattered parties Of
guerillas.
On Tuesday the March was resumed to saiem
skirrnisling with other parties of guerrillas took
place along the route, and at Salem Moseby, with
$50 men, was driven from the place.
From Salem the column moved on 70 White Plains,
which place was reached about dark. Here Rebel
Lieutenant in Stuart's command was found, who
was wounded. From White Plains the force made
night march back to Middleburg. Hating few
hours, they moved Oh to Aide, which place they
reached about O'Clock.
After resting few hours at Aide, the line Of
march was taken for this place, aud the troops
reached camp about o'clock this morning, horses
and men pretty we'll tired.
This reconnaissance has demonstrated that there
s no regular force of the enemy in the valley be-
tween the Bull Run mountains and the Blue Ridge.
About 500 guerrillas are in the mountains, who
operate in scattered parties. Thrtyeight prisoners
from Mosebys. Whites, Stuart's, and Imbodins
commands, and about 100 horses, are the spoilb OF
this march.
The roads were very bad for artillery, and only
fair for cavalry.
