A disloyHl resident Of HaSpsr's Ferry, By the
name Of Rohr, was in the habit Of ferFying
negroes across the Potomac at THAI point,
and running them of to the camps Of the enemy
ct Sandy Hook, about two miles from tho ferry.
This msn Capt. B. determined to capture,
and for this purpose sent his con in command
Young Baylor took with him trusty negro
man, to aid his purpose Of entrapping Rohr.
On arriving ct the ferry, Baylor and his men
secfeted themselves under the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad bridge, while the negro was
| sent forward to signal Rohr to come over with
his boat, which he did readily. When he ar
rived on the Virginia side, young Baylor
rushed FROM his concealment and demanded
his surrender. Instead Of comply ing with the
demand, Rohr, who was armed, attempted re-
sistance, when he was fred upon and killed
| by some one of the detachment.
Upon tho facts above narrated the Yankees
have based an informal charge of murder and
violation of flag of truce, aud refused to ex
change Capt Baylor, notwithstanding he has
repeatedly demanded an investigation of the

tanned their captive for nearly six months in

GEN. JONES'S EXPEDITION TO THE

Mention has already been made ofthe move.
ments of the forces of Brig. Gen. jones, in
command of our cavalry in the Valley of Vir
ginia The command left Harrisonburg on the
2lst of April, and proceeded to Greenland, in
Hardy county, where they effected the cap
ture of about ninety Yankees. At this point
the command was divided Col A. w Harman,
with the l2th Virginia regiment and the Mary
lard battalion, moving in the direction of Oak
land on the Baltimore and OHIO railroad, and
Gen'I Jones to Cheat river tunnel and Rowles.
burg, where he inflicted some injury upon
the road, but did not succeed in destroying the
immense trestle work on Cheat river At
Oakland, Col Harman surprised and captured
some eixty Yankees, and destroyed railroad
bridge at that point. From Oakland he wen.
to Cranberry Summit, where he burned the
Cheas river bridge, and then proceeded on to
Morgantown, In Monongalia county. From
Morgsutown Col. Harman moved up 70 Fair
mont where a Junction was formed with the
portion of the expedition under Gen. Jones.-
At the latter point they captured four hundred
out of six hundred of the enemy, two hundred
escaping. The fine suspension bridge across
the Monongahels at FairmOnt was destroyed
They also captured some 600 fine horses, and
as many good beef cattle, and large supply
of goods Of every description.
In noticing this expedition, correspondent
of the New York Herald, in recent number
of that paper, says:
The rebels who had taken possession Of
Clsrksburg on Monday were reinforced ON

menced moving Northward. They crossed

ton, fifty miles east of Wheeling, and burned
the railroad bridge there, and proceeded to
Morgantown, near the Pennsylvania State
line. From thence they marched into Fayetts
county, Penn, where they were understood to
have been last evening. Their force was
stated at ten thousand troops; but this is
probably an exaggeration, unless they con.
template movine'direct on Pittsburg, which is
not impossible.
The utmost excitement prevails at Wheel
ing and Pittsburg, aud also at Parkersburg. the
| people at each place fearing an attack from
| the enemy, whose strength is, az usual, great
ly magnifed. There is some ground for the
theory, also, that all of tho movements east Of
Grafton were feints, calculated to draw all Of
Our troops to points east of that place, while
they are throwing heavy body Of troops TO-
wards Pittsburg.
The military authorities have authorized tho
statement to be made that the rebel troops
who are marching in or towards Psnnsylva.
mia are in q trap, and that tho military ar.
rangements have been so perfected that their
capture is deemed certain Your readers will
laugh at that, az they ought to. Toe rebels
never run into traps. When they have &C
ccomplished the object for which they invaded
Pennsy ivania, they will retire In safety 70 Vir.
