WASHINGTON, April 8, 1s63.-On
Tuesday last the Rebel Captain Mos.
by visited Centreville, with his no.
torious guerilla band, numbering
about sixty. dressed in Federal uni.
forms. They left for Drainsville or
its neighborhood, and on Wednesday
morning a squadron of the First
Vermont cavalry came upon them at
a plantation where they we're bivou-
acked. Mosby's men were dismount-
ed, and received our cavalry with q
fire from behind fences, which STAN
peded some of the raw soldiers. The
fight soon became desperate. Mosby
threatened his men with death, if
they fiinched, and himself wounded
Capt. Flint with his revolver FIVE
times, killing him. Lieutenant
Grout, of the Vermont cavalry, and
seven men were also killed. Our
loss was about sixty killed, wounded
and prisoners.
Mosby was in the house upon the
plantation when he was surprised
but we learn that he rallied his men
with lightning-like celerity, and when
our squadron broke he pursued and
hacked them severely. The guerilla
chief received a severe sabre cut on
the fore head.

tCorrsspondence Of the Star Z ChronieIe.l
At meeting beld BY the men Of Com
pany d, l5Oth Reg's P. ", March %
1868, the following preamble and resolu
tious we're unanimously adopted:
Whereas, We have noticed with much
chagrio, from time to time, the secession
tendency of the Lsvisbury Argus, and the
artful manner 10 which some articles have
been promulgated, to mislesd tho masses,
and that the whole tone Of the sheet is Of
. nature to depress the cause of liberty,
to dishearten those 10 the field, to discour.
. age those at home, and also, that certain
illusions casting reproach upon the pro-
ceedings of this Regiment in regard to its
meeting Of March IL, 1868, have been
published therefore,
Resolved, That We are uncouditionally
engaged to put Gown the Rebellion that
We are willing to sacrifice the comforts of
home, and endure the dangers and priva.
tions Of the field, but We demand it Is q
right-as duty which We owe each other
that We should be heartily sustained at
home.
Resolved, That ws regard the publiea-
tion Of tho aforesaid paper % 90 injury to
the cause 10 which ws are engaged and
that We condemn 10 the strongest terms
the issue Of such . glaring outrage; that
We ssk our loyal friends at homo to return
to the Grand Jury Of our county, at its
next session, paper % much at variance
With true loyalty.
Resolved, That the resolutions passed
BY the meeting Of March IL, 1868, met
With our approval, because they we're Of .
patriotic character, and encouraging 10
every way the suppression Of this sccursed
Rebellion and that every insimstion BY
the Argus or from any other source, that
the vote Of any single nsa in this Compa.
ny was not free, conscientious one 10 sn !
insult to our patriotism sod manhood.
Resolved, That we enter the coming
,smpaign with hope, confidence, and :
to stand BY our country to
he end, until not voice shall bs heard
'gsiust her, and until bsr uodivided
treDgih shall show her greatness and
,lory.

H@-The per6dious, reasonable and in
sulting course which the Lcwisburg Argus
has systematically pursued lately, has been
severely rebuked BY some of our soldiers,
against whom its villi6cations have been
partially directed. We have not noticed
any Of the traitorous productions Of that
sheet recently, because its own outrageous
language is sufficient condemnation; but
We cheerfully allow the insulted soldiers to
express their righteous indignation in our
columns. We believe that all tho officers
whose names are sigued to the resolutions
are of Democratic proclivities.

whenever the roads and weather permit,
this army will strike; and when it does
strike, it will be With an irresistible force
and uncouquerable determination which
will rout the srmed rebels Of the South,
and cause their more cowardly brethren
of the North to hide their heads in shame,
ss did the cowboys of tho Revolution.
