The .Pl *wick contains Mil following newt
relative to the rebel raid into Wmtern Virginia:,
Captain Wright,with the Onard,.re-;
tmlied to the city, ftorntiniontevrn, by special'
train, on Thuniday night, about one o'clock,
bringing' thh•latest infointation from Morgan , '
town. Our special correspondent came on the
thin, arid 'furnishes M 3 with the following:
T,lxacetrowir; ' April 30.—One 'of our scouts ,
came'into town' about three o'clock this morn-
lng, bringing aletter frOm'Mr. John Oliphant:
Seim Hui' roar:Ask April 29.--Qtuarter of
10 e'clock. Sir. •'I am requested to in
forth' you as 'fiillows : The 'rebels have left
Morgantown and gone up the west side of the
river;towarda Filial/Doti.. They left, sometime
last night.. There has been firing he a rd 'in the
direction'of Fairmont since one o'Clock' to-day;
A lnievy feat' is going on;.apparentlyi , in that
direction: - Th& rebels did not burn the bridge
at Morgantoin; evidently leaving it as a means
of retreat, shonid . they be forced to fall back.
The'. 6th' Virginia (Union) regiment, , 1,.200 •
itrong, with; `a • • battery , of 'artillery; came mite
Morgantown this L evening. This is reliable.
The fear is, however, that they will notbe able'
to successfully resist the fOreie of rebels/ - should
ithey he defeated, -especially as they have no
%Fairy. They expected to have beedreinforc• 1
ed by some 'cavalry 'from' this direbtion. Mr.
Wilson came' from Morgantown , this , evening eV
i, dark. The citizens of 'MorgaiitOstn, ,, he. say;t4 -
'iieeliiect! to' be anxious to hate as rnany Men:
'Cade hp as ti . Cieible. •- If the enemy Tare ,deforit-
ed at Fairmont, and there is force sufficient to
prevent them from crossing the Monongahela
river, the whole force may be captured.
Respectfully, JNO. OLIPHANT.
To Captain Wright, Uniontown.
Later information fixes Maj. Showalter's
force at 500, with six pieces of artillery.
A vidette has arrivtd, who states that he
communicated with Maj. Showalter about three
o'clock this morning. He had planted his ar
tillery, commanding the bridge, and expressed
his determination to hold the place at all
hazards.
Mr. James Wilson, a citizen of this. place,
arrived this morning, direct from Morgantown,
where he arrived,. .In, company, with another
person, on Wednesday evening about five
o'clock. He remained about half an hour, and
jest before he left two Union soldiers, mounted,
came dashing into' the town, reporting that
Maj. Showalter was eight miles distant with a
Union force, and hurrying forward with all pos-
Bible speed.
The rebels left Morgantown on Tuesday, en
camping about six miles out, in the direction
Of Kingwood. About three o'clock Wednesday
morning they again 'startle, going, towards
Fairmont. About nine o'clock in the ftrienoon
cannonading was distinctly harctil the Civet
river and also in Morgantown,' and continued
at intervals until between Jhree and fear

turned with the following "reliableatattment
which is worth praserviog :
"Four companies of militia sere at Meagan
town, when the enemy came in, and undertook
to • defend the place. They tack refuge in
houses and fired from them, but the rebels shell
ed them out and set the houses on fire, and they
were then gobbled up. Seven of them were
killed. The rest were taken off in the direction
of Dixie, as prisoners. The estimate of the
force put it at four thousand which is without
doubt a great exaggeration. The rebels prooted
ed from Morgantown to Uniontown, where they
co&mitted some depredations, and return d by
the way of Blecirsville towards Fairmount, pass
ing thirteen miles'off Waynettburg. There was
a good deal of alarm at Waynesburg, and the
alibi& of the bank there destroyed $60,000 of
the bank's issue for fear of its failing into their
hands."

The Wheeling ktelligencer, from which we
have condensed the foregoing, says:
''There is one lesson we cannot fail ixo learn
from the success ofthis raid of the enemy, that
there is in onr midst a foe no lees prejudicial to
our safety, than the one ill our front. It is not
tete supposed for a moment that an invasion
of such magnitude, reaching far into an ene
rnk'a nOnntry. within lines of railway and, tele
gnph, would , be undertaken: by.even the most
foolhardy and daring without accurate knowl
edge of the numbers and disposition of the op -
posing' ',forces. There is not an o ffi cer in the
rebel army' who would have risked h adiag
eva a cavalry force to the Pennsylvania tine
in — the Monongahela Valley, if he had not
known absolutely and exactly that we had no
force within reach to resist this advance, our
that he could have destroyed our communism
ten so no force could be thrown in to intercept
0 0E 1 in their retreat. How could th's be so
wircurately, known to them? Only through the
symPathisers in our 'midst who acted as spies
and informers. They it were who burned the
bridges between hen and Grafton to prevent
the passage of troops, just as they did two
ypats ago- They are just as ranch our enemies
