Cul. Kane sent six men to the edge of the village to engage a portion of the erremy; . when attacked they retreated slowly 'to a' building where the Col. had a fear men con cealed, and ran in. The enemy supposing they hal them secure rushed after theM, when the Bucktalls blazed away. The Lieut.' had six bullets in him. The party being on horses made a hasty retreat. Some time in the night previous the same party came , upon (Joe of the "nonce Guard" of Cumber land, (who accompanied us thus far) asleep at his past, and manglel him horribly.— Ms name was William Kelley and firrinerly residel in Columbia: he followed boating: Word has just come into camp of more fighting. Capt. Ullman's and Capt. Trout's Companies have this moment been ordered on. We all expect to receive orders to fol. low immediately. I will keep this letter open for several hours, and I am in hopes I can then record a first victory for our boys. They are in good health, and eager to get at the "seceshers." D.ty before yesterday the rebels destroyed several mare bridges above this. Capt. Collins and myself advanced near the enemy this morning; we met our pickets retreating; we proceeded and after making a reconnois sance returned to camp. The rebels have devastated this whole re gion. It is really sickening to bear the tales of wo as related to us by the people het eabouts--heads of families, and some times all the males over thirteen years of ago have been pressed into a service which they hate,—their property destroyed, which in many cases cannot be restored in a life time. The stars and stripes are hailed with joy; the appearance of our flag in this vat ley has brought many a fugitive from south ern oppression out of the fastnesses in the mountains around about us. 4n opportunity this moment offers itself to forward this to Cumberland. We hare no mail facilities now, and may not be able at 411 to send word to our friends in C. I will however unquestionably keep you booked up if in my power. Friends can send us word I suppose via Cumberland. ORDERLT. Advance of the.Fedetal Aamy on ,11,..nassao . Junction. FAIRFAX COURT ROUSE OCCU BLED WITUOUT A CONFLICT.

A dozen of them appeared in Shepherdstown in °our rear last Saturday night. Major General Patterson and Staff left this morning with the troops of the army. The First Penaylvania Regiment is guard ind Martinsburg. Two regiments of the Pennsylvania reserve forces aro to be at Hagerstown to-duy—thoso of Cul. Rickets and Colonel Mann., Thus the experienced troops will be thrown to the front. Your correspondent leaves at onoe to join the front column. General Johnston is said to have masked hatterits -between Bunker TIM and Winchester, this, however, is doubted. My present opinion, from all sources of informa tion I have, is that whilst Johnston will skirmish heavily he will risk no pitched but tlo. The army encamped at Bunker llill, ten miles south of 'Martinsburg. To-morrow it is expected to reach Winchester. naryland Regiment is loca ted at Doansville, guarding, the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. President Spates is ac tively engaged ,in pushing foward the work and it is expected that water will be in the canal between Dam No. 5 and liarper's Ferry on Friday.—Thus a full supply of coal will reach Washington by this route in a few days.
