quirer, writing from Roanoke the 10Th,
says: -.
The loss Of government by Averill's
raid is heavy, consisting of large
quantity of bacon and corn, together
wi;h a large amount Of lsather which had
| been accommodating for government work
shops. The lose in private property in
the village and neighborhood is consid-
cradle. About thirty thousand pounds
Of bacon was saved by being SHIPPED be-
fore the enemy reached the depot.

says: . . .rzr
jackson, who pursued Averill, captur-
| ed Yankee ambulance train, two hum
! bred prisoners, their horses and equip
! I,u -
and eight of Ayerill's officers, including
! his adjutant general, together with com
! plete maps Of fifteen or twenty counties.
! AS Gen. Averill's official report makes
no mention OF. this capture, 1t Is fair to
presume thrt the Examiners statement
is much cxaggered, and probably totally
untrue. -.-~~ .:- - ~.
