that day, which resulted in brilliant victory, as
its leading features were hastily communicated by

CUMBEKLAHD. Jau, II

CUMBERLAND, jan. =, 1864.
Orders have been issued to the Quar-
termaster's Department by the Secretary
OF War, to issue an extra pair of shoes
and one suit of clothing to the men en-
gagged in toe late expedition under Gen.
AVerill. This order was given ut the So
llcitation of General AVerill, who faith
fully represented the losses aud sufferinss
his men endured.
The rebel papers state that General Az
etill, when AT Salem, fred ou-=a=traiu
while It was approaching that place. This
is true. Three shots were fired, one of
them passing through several cars. Gen.
AVerill was compelled from necessity to
order this proceeding. Nothing but his
advance guard aud one piece Of artillery
had ss yet reached Salem, while, on the
other hand, he bad information that this
train was approaching, loaded with q thou
sand rebel soldiers-these coming on to
defend the place. 1t was to drive of this
rebel force, just at that time superior to
his own, that General AVeriIl ordered the
train 10 be fired upon. 5
ARAin, the rebel papers say that ga cit
izen" named Chapman was killed. This is
not strictly true. AT the .ime when Chap.
man was killed he had on q rebel captains
full uniform. and, though halted several
times, refused TO surrender. He was
known as Captain Chapman, and was said
to belong TO An artillery organization.
WOUNDED.
Lieutenant Murphy, of the Fourteenth
Pennsylvania was shot through the arm.

Adjutant General on the staff Of General
Averill, was taken prisoner while lying

During the march the men had to drag
the artillery, not only over and through
the streams, but along The roads. The
horses could hardly walk, let alone draw
the pieces. The horses suffered, too. aw.
fully from the cold.
. WEDDING PARTY CAPTURED.
General Averill captured a veddipp
party on top of Pats Mountain. Their
were about thirty rebel soldiers at the
wedding, including the bridegroom. The
