WAsHNGToN, May 3l.-A dispatch was
received this afternoon from General Stahl,
dated at Fairfax Court House to- day, in which
he says Mosby, with two hundred men and
one howitzer, attacked our train of cars near
Catlett's station, yesterday, and the guard
having escaped, he burned the train. The
locomotive is not much damaged. Colonel
Manu. of the 74th Michigan regiment, who
had the command in the front, hearing
the firing, took portion of his men, and
followed in search Of the rebels. He enCoun-
tered them two miles from Greenwich, where
lhey had taken very strong position. Col.
Mann charged the rebels, who replied with
grape and canister, but Gas the colonel Ie-
ports) our men never taltered. They dashed
upon the rebels and took their guns. Col.
Mum returned at dark to his camp in front,
bringing in the captured artillery and all our
dead and wounded-four Of the former and hf-
teen of the latter. 1t was an extremely
hot fight. We have (the despatch says) many
prisoners including Capt. HaskinS, an Eng
fish officer in the confederate service, and
Lieut.. Chapman, who had charge of the ar
tllery. Both of these officers were so severe
ly wounded that they could not be removed,
and they were paroled. The enemy lost very
heavily in killed and wounded. After the
enemy were thoroughly dispersed III e'eIy
direction through the woods, darkness set in,
and precluded further pursuit. Lieut.. Barker,
OF our forces was struck by grape shot in the
thigh. He crossed sabres with the enemy,
and fought desperately after he was wound

"RoMANTIc." Under this head a Newbern
correspondent of the Old Colony Memorial
says :-''You have probably noticed in the
Newbern correspondence of the Boston pa
pers an account of the wedding of one of the
44th's corporals and the daughter of
wealthy citizen of Newbern, famous for Bit
ter secessonist wife, and who was recently
transported outside our lines because he would
not take the oath of allegiance. 1t is said
that the intimacy between the newly welded
pair commenced before the war, while Miss
Disoway was at school in Massachusetts,. In
violation of the old adage, that true love never
does run smooth, was the fact that corporal
Lawrence entered the service of his country,
and was sent with his regiment to this place,
where he was detailed as assistant ward mas
ter in Foster hospital, and probably had leis-
ure and pass to visit his lady love much Of
tener than if he had remained with his
company Matters progressed finely, I'M
til the decree went forth that all cit
liens of Newbern must take the oath of
allegiance by a certain date, or go outside the
federal lines. This was bitter pill for Papa
Dsoway, for he had valuable estate here on
a corner lot, and of course it would be contis-
Gated, because he could not sell it and take 1t
with him, as the authorities permitted him to
do with his personal property. The marriage
was celebrated on the evening before the de-
parture of the family for rebellion, and here
the romance of the operation ended. The
reality of it has developed into what the
'chlvalry' would call a id Yankee trick.
For it now appears that the real estate was

WASHINGTON, May 30.-Gentemen who
arrived tonight from the Rappahannock, say
that large columns Of the enemy in motion,
were traced yesterday by the lines of dust in
the rear of their river front. While one con-
siderable body was moving southwark, the
preponderance of the mass appeared to be
going in the direction of Kelly's ford and Gull
pepper. The rebel infantry guard at Banks
and United States fords has been considerably
increased within the past day or two, which is
construed in some quarters as ruse to cover
the movements of raid by Stuarts rebel
cavalry, via Culpepper and Rappahannock
station.
Gov. Blair of Michigan paid visit to Gen.
Hooker yesterday, accompanied by several
ladies. They were courteously and warmly
received by t e general, and left with favora-
BILE impressions of his ability to defeat the
rebels when the opportunity shall arrive. 1t
is believed the enemy are preparing to DEM
onstrate somewhere on our line. The move
ment on the side of the rebels may be only a
ruse to draw attention from some other point.

GALLANT DRUMMER BOY.


NEwBERN, N. c., May 26.-The two des-
patch steamers Emily and Arrow, which were
captured by the rebels in the Currituck canal,
are at Franklin, on the Blackwater
drummer boy, named Lavender French,
in Co. A, 9th Massachusetts regiment, went
into the fight near Kinston with Il rifle and
captured 20 rebels belonging to the 18th North
Carolina, and one lieutenant while unassisted
and isolated from his company. He found his
prisoners in an ambush. They supposed he
represented large force. Finding out their
mistake, they were inclined to resist, but the
little hero being in possession of their arms,
obliged his captives to walk before his leveled
piece, and gracefully submit to his imperative
order.
New YORK, May 3l.-Newbern dates of
the Goth state that there were indications of
another expedition about to start for the inte-
rior, to run out guerrillas, A large body Of
tIoops have been notified to be in readiness
to leave, and the gunboats and light draft
transports are being fitted out for the occa-
sion.
A rebel spy had been arrested, with plans
and information upon him. Preparations are
being made at all points of Newbern to re-
ceiye the large force Of rebels who have been
lately making suspicious movements.

New YORK, May 31.-The Mercury has
the following special dispatch from Washing
toni
Reliable information is at hand tonight,
that portion of Gen. Lees army has swung
around to the Orange and Alexandria rail-
road at Culpepper. The rebel Gen. Hooks
DIVISION occupied that place yesterday.
To-day supply train of II cars, laden with
Stores' was captured between Manassas and
Warrenton. The rebels took up the track,
which was discovered by the engineer, and
the tram was halted. No sooner had it fully
stopped than l2-pound shot was sent
lirOugh the boiler of the engine from field
piece concealed in the woods. The train was
burned and all the men taken prisoners who
were runnlngit. This was probably the work
OF Gen. Mosby's men.
The Times dispatch states that Gen. Stahl
afterwards gave the guerrillas sound thrash
ing ana captured number of men and two
pieces OF artillery. AT the last accounts our
cavalry va were pursuing them.
1here are no signs that the enemy has at
tempted to cross the Rappahannock at any
place between Culpepper, sixty miles distant,

THE MILFORD AND WOoNsoCKEr RAIL
RoAD.-We understand that the directors of the
Milford and Woonsocket railroad have thus far
been unable to make any arrangement with the
managers of the air line which would be at all
satisfactory. The air line offers to build the
branch and put it i'll running order for SlOO, 900.
and they would then hire the branch for twenty
years, and pay six per cent. on the cost. Mr..
Wood offered to build the branch two years ago
Tor SoO,0OO. Although tie expense of building
would be more now than then, vet it should he
nothing like twice as much. Our directors offer
to give $4,000, which is not yet accepted This
state of things occasions the delay.-liilford

DIABoLICAL OUTRAGE.-The missing little
five year old girl, advertised in the Spy, return
ed to her fathers door, little after one o'clock
Saturday morning. 1t appears that the child
had been wiled away and horribly outraged bya
heastly old devil in the shape of a man, calling
himself Michael Kelly. He appears to be
stranger here, but he has succeeded in making it
known that he is an unmitgaed scOundrel of
the lowest sort Itappears thai on Friday after
noon, he was on the streets here and fell in with
two little girls whom he persuaded to walk with
him. One of them became frightened and dis
appeared The other, only five years old, the
child of Mr. James Leland, he coaxed TO 90 with
him, by means of candy and other inducements.
He was seen with the child, on the street, and,
afterwards, on the railroad track near the june
ton. They were seen there earlyin the evening;
but, after that trace of the child could be dis
covered, although diligent search was made. 1t
was after one o'clock, that night, we believe,
that she made her appearance at her fathers
door, IS Front street, and reused the people in
the house by her cries. When taken in,
proofs of the foulest kind of play
were manifest. 1t seems the old brute,
Kelly, went back with her as near TO the house
as he dared go, and then fed. He probably
hoped to escape out of town, or find some hiding
place; or he may be too Internal brute to real
ize what he had done. But the police were soon
after him; and he was found and arrested by of
ficer Kane. He was identified by theschid and
by those who saw him with her on the streets
and railroad track He was brought before the
police court Saturday morning, and was put I'M
