1t Is known beyond question, taat MANY
OF the number of rebels who captured Mr.
7. were former citizens of this section,
whose names for the present it Ia thought
not best to communicate. There was great
commotion among our citizens, conseuuent
upon Mr. rs. abduction, and a s1uad out of
Co. b. 9th regiment Va. volunteers, sta
toned here, Immediately repaired to the
vicinity, and the Rev. Henry Wilson. and
henry V. Bowman, said to ba mischievous
ana influential seCessionists were in the
melee shot and killed.
1t is melancholy, indeed to reflect, that
two men, in view of the necessity to adopt
measures of u stern character, for the pro-
lection of our citizens, should have thus
expiated their zeal in this rebellion; but
the result portends'future good, for on the
10th inst. meeting was called at White
Oak, which was largely attended by the
;ltlzens of that section, (who are ail seces-
5'SS!ni!9Stss aad pysya, addressed tR3 De-
unanimously passed, expressing a deter
to assist the Federal authorities,
in the suppression of kidnapping, horse
.hieViug, marnuding, &c. This is a move
nent in the right direction.
On the 10th inst. the citizens of this
town were Hgreeably surprised at the cap
Lure of James f. Lynch, charged with be.
ing notorious horse thief, and Benton
Johnson, son of our former delegate to the
Richmond Legislature, both recently from
Dixie. The latter reports Mr.. Trahorn to
have been seen by him, several days pre-
viOus, at HarrisOn's in Crab Bottom, in
with five guards, whose names
are given to the military authorities, on
their way to ImbOden's camp. 1t is there
fore confidently presumed, that Messrs.
Williams and Elliott, abeve referred to,
will shortly overtake him; aud it is greatly
hoped, will procure his release
These are all the facts, connected with
the subject Of Your inquiries, within my
knowledge, that will afford any interest 10
