'tErom the Richmond Examiner.l

tFrom the Richmond Examiner.l
The late achievement of Gen. John Ii.
Morgan in his defeat of AverilE In South
western Virginia, is said to have been one
of the most brilliant of the war in rapidity
of movement and suddenness Of onset,
while the enemy were twice the number OF
our forces, and had, besides, artillery. Gen
Morgan's command was separated, the two
portions being about thirty miles apart
He called them together, and sent five hun
dred men to Dublin depot to assist General
jenkins, where they arrived in time to save
our stores at that point and prevent the en-
emy from carrying off the prisoners they
had taken. Upon their arrival, and without
a moments rest, they stubbornly met and
resisted the enemy, until the remaining
force of Col. MeCausland (who commanded
after the wounding of Gen. Jenkins) could
rally. Gen. Morgan, with the rest of his
force, hurried forward, marched thirty
eight miles, came up with and Immediate
ly engaged the enemy under Averill, who,
four thousand strong, fought him four
hours, and finally charged him on foot, Gen.
Morgan at the head of the column, driving
him from his guns, and pursuing him, still
on foot, seven miles.
But for the night closing in upon them
and the high water in the New river, he
would have completed his victory by cap
turing the entire force. Averill destroyed
the ferry and the pontoon bridges over New
river, thus preventing pursuit in that way,
and the river rose so during the night that
it was afterwards impossible for General
Morgan to cross. The celebrity of Morgan's
movements took the people completely by
surprise. The citizens of Wytheville, know
ing that there were no Confederate forces
within thirty miles, and that the enemy
were advancing toward that place, were
moving their effects, when the news of
Averill's defeat reached them. The people
of Southwestern Virginia are loud in their
praises of the gallant General and his men.
The Confederate loss in the attack upon
Averill was ten killed and fifty wounded.
Twelve dead Yankees and a number of their
wounded were left on the field. They car
ried off most of their wounded, among
them General Duffie. e

The Cleveland Leader is the paper which
most bitterly opposes and ridicules the Fre-
mont convention, now being held in that
city; and in this exhibits the most glaring
instance of o corrupted press afforded by
the history of these times. The Leader
pretends to support LINCOLN because his
policy is just what the Radicals want. That
paper thinks that old ARE is sufficiently
radical upon the negro equality, women's
rights and other Reserve hobbys to make
the selection Of a more radical candidate
superious. There is no doubt that if the
publisher of the Leader did not hold a fat

and TO prevent the troops under Butter
from moving toward Richmond on the

1t was alleged by Jones, property stolen from
him was concealed. The warrant was execut-

John Tufts, the occupant of the dwelling
house, was complained against by Jones, for
larceny of the property found in the house,
consisting mainly of bedding and was brought
up to answer to the complaint.
From the testimony in the case it wonld be
inferred that the articles were taken from
Jones house in Scarboro,' through the agency
of his wife. who resides in Portland and keeps
the house of Tufts-she being his sister The
goods were removed while Jones was away
from the house. Tufts was also absent at the
time. The Court decided that Tufts was not
