Second Edition
FOUR O'CLOCK. p. M.
dospy,s RAID AT pERRYyILLr.


We have gathered some interesting partlcu-
lars respecting the raid made by Mosby and
his band upon Union train near Bcrryville
upon Saturday week. 1t is supposed that
Mosby came through Suckers Gap when he
approached the train, as 1t is known that ho
retreated in that direction after the affair was
over.
In the train were some seventy wagons, and
II should be stated that II was made up by a
quartermaster who had been ordered peremp.
torily from headquarters in Washington to re-
main here.
The facts are, that when the 9th corps came
up from the Army of the Potomac, some weeks
ago, they left their transportation trains be-
hind them, and new transportation was fur
nishcd them hero. Afterwards their trains ar
rived here, and a quartermaster, under some
misunderstanding Of orders received In Wash
iugton, attempted to follow his division to the
front.
The escort of the train was made up of one
hundred days men, of the 144th and 10th
Ohio. whose time was to expire next day.
A train having been made up, with an escort,
quite number Of different parties fell into It.
Among the rest, at the rear Of the train, was
Major Sawyer, paymaster, who was ordered to
pay oil Col. Devins' brigade of cavalry.
Major Sawyer had in his trunks somewhat
over slOO, 900 in greenbacks, and in the same
wagon was the mail for the brigade.
At FIVE O'Clock, a. m, the rebels, posted In
the woods OF the road began firing with pistols,
and the guard skedaddled, threw down their
guns and vamoscd. This left the long train
at the mercy of the guerrillas, and there was q
good deal of scrambling.
Fortunately it happened that Major W. E.
Beardsley, commanding the 9th N. Y. cavalry,
was with the train, on his return from a sick
leave of twenty days, and Immediately upon
the outbreak of the guerrlllas he began TO put
himself in fighting order.
In tho first place he had a gallopng duel
with a tall rebel officer riding parallel to him
In field, exchanging shots with him; then he
rallied company to return to rescue the train,
the rebels being engaged in driving of some oI
the wagons and burning the others.
Major Beardslcy got out two skirmishers tc
advance with himself, only one of the party
being armed with carbinc. With these
Major Beardsley moved upon the rebels, fouI
of whom were robbing the Paymaster's wagon
AS the Majors regiment was particularly In
terested in the grcenbacks there deposited, /
may naturally be supposed that he neglected
no chance for rescuing the precious dc
posits. He deployed his two skirmisher
skilfully, and the firing of two shots from tn
carblne were sufficient to dlsperse the fou
guerrillas from the wagon, and when Msjo
Beardsey and his friend, the paymaster, ,reachc,
the wagon they found that, although tn
brigade mail had been captured and carriet
of, the greenbacks were untouched.
By this raid the rebels captured forty-sevel
wagons, all but ten of which were burned, AM
one hundred and twenty head of cattle.
