TROPHIES FROM THE VALLEY.
Captain Thaddeus Fitzhugh. of the 5th
Virginia cavalry, has arrived in the city,
bringing with him ATS prisoners, a large
silk regimental flag, the flags of the 5th and
9th Western Virginia (Yankee), large
garrison flag, and number belonging to
squadrons and companies. The flags of the
5th and 9Th regiments are of heavy, silk,
beautifully made, with the names Of dozen
battles painted on them. The flag of the
5th Yankee regiment was captured bv the
9Th Confederate Virginia, and that of the
9th by the 9th Confederate Virginia. ~
The gallant Captain F. commanded the
advance which captured the enemy's pick
cts, and so great was the surprise that he
actually hauled down the garrison flag be.
fore the enemy were aware he was in their
fort. The defences at New Creek were
very strong, and success entirely depended
on the celebrity and suddenness of the
movement. An immense quantity of anu
milton, 1850 bbls. of -four, large quantities
of other supplies, nine engines, cars, work
shops and siege guns were destroyed; bes
sides six field pieces, and large numbers of
horses, mules, beef cattle, sheep and hogs
safely brought off 1t was a brilliant
achievement, and ell engaged 10 it deserve
the highest praise. -r, p, -.~.
