ANOTHER GUERRILLA OUTRAGE ON THR
MANASSAS RAILROAD

Yesterday evening, gang of Mosby's guer-
rllas, represented to be some four hundred
strong, made an attack on an outer picket of
the I'd ID. @. regiment, stationed at White
Plains, on the Manassas railroad.
The picket guard, consisting of eight men,
under the command of Lieut.. Jos. Smith, COM
pany H, fired upon the guerrillas, but were
not able to successfully resist the overpow-
ering numbers of the guerrilla gang, and they
were captured with the exception Of two men.
Lieut.. Smith was shot through the knee. and
one man was badly wounded in the groin.
Lieut.. s. was stripped of his clothes and
robbed of S1,a0O, intrusted to his care by his
men fer safekeeping, and when the guerrillas
retreated they ordered him to mount horse
and 60 with them, but he refused, saying that
he was too badly wounded, and they might
shoot him and do their worst. They then
abandoned him, and moved rapidly away
with their other prisoners, and he was rescued
by body of our men in pursuit OF the guer.
rillas, and taken to the hospital at Alexan-
dria.
A party OF guerrillas, reported to belong to
Kincheloe's gang, also committed similar out
RACES yesterday between Accotink and Burke's
Station, killing, near the latter place, private
VIM. B. Moore and another man belonging to
the 9th Pennsylvania heavy artillery. The
active measures now being taken will prevent
any similar outrages on the road.
