The soil being sandy, the roads would be

The enemy had felled a great number of

advancing from Newbern, which force was
within short distance of Knston when the

Rebel soldiers are deserting by companies,

In most Of the places OF North Carolina the

Many Of the Inhabitants of western North

The Raleigh Progress says Sherman would

Quite panic pre- evailed among the egroes OF
North Carolina since the announcement that

intimated to bis officers that he had the game
IN his own hands, and that 1t would take q

army frees the Valley of any regular force.
The detachment detailed to escort the rebel
prisoners to this point left WayResboro' on
Friday, the Sd instant They marched eight
miles and eRcamped at Fisherviile. Colonel
Thompson, commanding the brigad finding
MS supply OF food inadequate to meet the re.
quirt ments of his men and the prisoners, seut
forward 9 detachm ent to several Of the towns
through which they were to pass notifying the
Inhabitants TO bring out TO the roadside food for
me rebel prisoners, or otherwise they would
starve on the road On reaching Stanton
Colonel Thompson found only feeble response
to his request, and learning that the rebels had
stored large quantities OF supplies in the Luna.
TIC Asylum, reQuisition was made on that
institution, and our troops and ths rebel pris-
oners were partially supplied with flour and
bacon. Colokei thompson discharged this
duty in as agreeable a manner and with as
much humanity as the necessity of the case
would permit
The troops were Tot molested on their return
trip until they reached the rorth fork of the
Shenandoah, near Mount Jackson, where they
were met by a small but determined rebel cav.
airy force, under General Rosser. 1t appears
he followed our troops from Staunton, and
watched ar opportunity TO rescue the rebel
prisoners. He waited until the 9th instant,
when our troops were about crossing the She
nardoah: He boldly charged on the rear
guard-the 5th New York cavalry, Major
Force-who suddenly changed direction, faced
the rebels, and, with sabers in hand, and a
cheer and a dash, he drove Rosser and his
men In retreat up the pike towards Staunton,
capturing twenty seven Teoels and killing
fifteen others. This charge drove Rosser SO far
to the rear that be did not trouble our troops
again.
When our troops reached Waynesbero' Gen.
Sheridan sent four couriers, each with copy
of an order to General Hancock, to send q bri-
gade of infantry and one Of cavalry TO meet
the prisoners at or near Mount Jackson. Two
of the courIers were killed and two were cap.
tured. Hence the order did not reach its desti.
natination.
The prisoners all arrived in town to day,
foot sore and weary They were tolerably we'll
clad but it was remarkable to notice the dis
parity in the ages of the troops. They ranged
tTom fifteen to sixty years ofage. Some ofthem
are conscripts, and insist upon II that they
never would have gone into the rebel army
" ere they not forced. From ths statements
il is said that large force of Union cavalry
was coming down the Virginia Central Rail
roag from Tennessee, and that it had reacheda
point very near Lynchburg.
The expedition is great success, and eXbib-
its what our troops can overcome and accom-
