' [By People’s Telegraph Line, 411 Chestnut street, Reading Room Merchants’ Exchange and Girard House.] Boston, Feb. ,8. —It has been stated that Vermont has not raised her quota, and that 889 men are still wanted to complete it. The state ment conveys a wrong impression. Vermont has raised her full quota on the October call, and a surplus of 1034 men. She lacked under previous calls 1,923, -leaving a deficiency under all the calls of the President of only 889. Few States have a better record.

THE SEVEN DAYS’ OPERATIONS IN WEST VIRGINIA. [Correspondence of the N. Y. Herald.] In the Field, West Viegixia, Feb. 5, ISS4. The operations of the last seven days, although at times extremely varied in their character, have at last terminated In a series of successes. For some time past we had been in possession of information to the effect that General Early was concentrating troops and being reinforced in tbe neighborhood of Harrisonburg, with a view to again attempting the capture ot the garrison at Pe tersburg, and then making—another raid on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. To meet a movement of this kind General Kelley made all possible preparation. Yetastime woreaway,and the enemy gave ho signs of an Intention te advance, a large number of men (including nearly the whole of a regiment of cavalry) who had re-enlisted for Jhe w ar, were furloughed and allowed to go home. ITSrdly had this been done when we got news of Early having moved on : Friday, January 29. Of course it wa* too late and a matter of impossibility to recall the furloughed troops. Ac tr.e earliest possible moment cavalry, in small detachments, wus sent out from Harper’s Ferry, Martinsburg and Cumberland to get information of the enemy s whereabouts. The sconcing par ties did not hiing us in any particularly reliable ii form ttion. The next reliable information we had of the-ene my’s movements was when Rosser suddenly at tacked one of our trains while on its way from Few Creek to'Petersburg. liisnow known to be a fact that the eight hundred men sent as a guard with the train were ditgracefully remis* in the d'seharge of tbeir.du y. The officer in command ol tbe train guard officially reported that he hid eighty killeu and wounded, while neither tact nor report has up to this time, coniirmed his state ment. The most of the train guard has returned, coming in at different points along the railroad. The enemy took but a of the guard prisoners. Our loss m the attack en the tiain turns out to be astonishingly small. On learning that this train had been attacked, and that the garrison at Petersburg was again threatened, General Kelley ordered movements to beinade in themcstexpeditious manner from Har per’s Ferry and Maninsburg. Of Sullivan’s a troops, a force was sent to Winchester, under the "command of Col. Fitzsimmons. Of Averell’s command, another column,- under command of LieutenantC- lonel Thompson, moved from Mar tinsburg to Winchester, and there made junction with Fitzsimmons. These :unitqd columns then moved across the country towards Romney, going, by way of Wardensville. Their march was a rough and rapid one, and, although conducted in the best possible manner, failed'by several hours to communicate with or get, within supporting distance of Col. Mulligau. "While Fitzsimmons’s and Thomp«on’s troops moving toward Romney a cavalry force was despatched to look after rebel movements in the neighborhood jf LeesbuTg and in the Loudon county district, it having been rumored that a force was moving and operating in that neighbor hood. : On Saturday night, the 30th, Colonel Thoburn, finding the enemy about to in ftKco at Petersburg, HaTdy county, evacuated his possti m there, and escaped to Ridgevilie, where he joined a detachment ot Colone* Mulligan’s troops, and af’erward moved with Mulligan to attack Early, near Moorfield. Having got Thoburn all right, our forces moving* on Romney, another small force out watchings from ihe Ltigbborboocl of Cumberland, we slowlv fell bac k in the Few Creek valley, with a view to drawing tbe enemy sufficiently close to the rail road to enable Fi'zsiminons and Thompson to get in his rear. As we desired, the enemy followed up. During this time a number of small fights occurred, In which lost a few killed and wounded. 0 On Tuesday between four and five hundred of Ebsser’s men slipped in between Mulligan’s and Fitzsimmons's columns and broke our rail road communication, by partially destroy ng one bridge and slightly injuring another one. How soon the damage was repaired and how trivial it was you have already learned. The enemy succeeded, in reaching the railroad and in partially safely get ting away, only in consequence of the columns from JWartinsburg and Harper’s Ferry having de ieated General. Kelley’s calculation by tailing to reach Romney atsixP. M. on the evening of the 2d. It was calculated that this column would be at Romney as stated, and that any rebel force which moved in by way of Springfield or Frank fort would be cut off by Fitzsimmons’s. Thomp son s or Mulligan’s forces, and kept from doing +i Dy P re^ t injury to the railroad by the troops sta tioned at Cumberland and elsewhere within easy . supporting distances. As soon as it was know the railroad had been fv \°* one } Mulligan’s forces moved forward from the New Creek Tegion end attacked the enemy. We were successful In making the enemy fall back. Our movements towards ths enemy’s rear of course hastened his departure from a position that was geitmg more dangerous than either interesting or profitable. . At the time, when, the enemy was' known 5? J 3616 1 n i SIX *° eight miles of Cumberland the troops there stationed formed for action. Scenes of lively interest ensued 1 will not stop to detail all the minor movements we made and the skirmishes we had, but, passing over these, will state 'that as soon as Cols. Fitz simmons’s and Thompson’s forces opened com munication with Colonel Mullig ' n, we vigorously pursued the enemy, driving him on all the roads and out of all the gaps in which he attempted to maintain a position.

Atom three nvles from the town of Moore- Held, foliowinp: the JVloo eOeid and homnev turn pike road. .yon cros* the south branch of.the Foto mac river at what is.knowa as McNeil’s Ford. It was hire that CoS. Mulligan on Thursday, in par j*uirg the enemy, b?«d a fight, dosser’s command ’disputed the passage of the river. The lands of thi. 3 eigbborlipod are almost of a dead level, hut ihe river b&nk upon wh*ch Col Mulligau took position is higher than the one on the other side. Thu j we had the advantage of position. Our ar tillery opened on the enemy about eieh , A,.M , ard rapid firing wis kepxip for some considerable •time afterword.. The enemy replied vigorously and for a long time keptus warmly at work. After* ago*;d deal of rapid sharpshoodhg. onrshohand shell drove the enemy off to a sufficient distance .to enable us to 1 obtain command of the ford. A cro&ing was*t h en effected. We found the country a dead level from here all the way to Moorefield. This level served our purpose very well. Alter leavingtheford the enemy slowly fell back to wards Moorefield, all tbe. way keeping up a scattering, skirmishing fire—a regular “lire and fallback” engagement. At the time when Mulligan first en gaged Rosser at the ford, Early was at Moorefield (behind Rosser), with a heavy force of infantry and two or more b**tt*»ries of artillery. Fighting was kept up nntil the enemy got near ihe town, when he made another stand. More fighting ensued, and in the course of three hours we drove him from this last position to and through tl etownund beyond it. Early’s forces then fell back towards the South fork of the South branch of ibe Potomac river, Mulligan all the. gtime keeping clote upon the enemy’*• rear, by aid wfhis cavalry force. The enemy took the South Fork road, which rnns through a branch valley of tbe great Moorefield valley. This South Branch .valley is quite a narrow one, hemmed in on either side by very high mountain sand traversed by acon derable stream of water, known as the South Fork of the South Branch. Rosser undertook to pro tect Early’s rear The na. rowness of the valley alone prevented us from driving him along with more than agreeable rapidity. As it was, we com* pelled the enemy to fall back with much Uaete. The South Fork road leads directly to Brock’s Gap and Harrisonburg—the original position from which the rebels moved. Colonel Mulligan con tinued to pursue the enemy until the latter reached tbe last river road, and was compelled to retire over into the Shenandoah valley again. Ourloßses have not been large. Even in the six hours’ bard fighting ouri losses proved to be less than at first reported. Looking back at the operations of the last seven days it mnst be said that we have been successful, and that it is beyond doubt we have again defeated Early’s designs, which were to seriously injnre the line of the railroad and capture the garrison at Petersburg*. He has been defeated in getting into New Creek or Cumberland, failed to interrupt the running of the railroad trains beyond a few hours, aDd failed to get off with any large portion of his prisoners t'T plunder. Besides, he has lost many by desertion and quite a number as prisoners and picked up stragglers. Our cavalry have driven the rebels out of Pe tersburg. The enemy burned the government buildings.

FECK THE ARKY 0F THE POTOMAC, Fmther D&tails of the Eeconnais* Bailee Across the Rapidan, THE BECONNOISSANCE ACEOSS THE BABIj DAN. "Washington, Feb. B— The star evening publishes the following ; “Parties co ruing from the front represent that we experienced, considerable loss in the return of our troops from the late demonstration. It is stated that some of our pontoons were lost at the Kapidan, whereby the enemy was enabled to pick up some of our men who had not recrossed. “Also that a rebel cavalry force, crossing above Norton’s Ford, intercepted a couple o our regiments,"who were forced to cut the! way through with some loss. “These reports,it should be aided, are not all definite, and have not, up to noon to-day, been confirmed by anything received at the Vi ar Department.” : LATER. Parties arriving from the front this morning state that when our troops pushed across at Germanna Ford, they found the rebel rifle pits in that immediate vicinity occupied by bn twenty-five pickets, who threw up their arm. and surrendered,stating that there was no force within ten miles of their position. ' Immediately thereafter our forces pushed ahead in the direction of Orange Court House, but had hardly progressed two miles before they were opened on from 12 guns. - Attack ing the rebel force working and 'supporting; these guns, we drove them from their position with considerable loss in killed, 'wounded and missing. Our loss was 35 in the affair. The mass of our infantry then re-crossed the Rapidan, leaving a force to hold the rifle pits taken, probably until the operations of our cavalry,that had moved by a different route,had terminated. Heavy firing is said to have been heard yes terday, and it was believed about Culpeper that our cavalry was then engaged with the enemy it had been seeking. XXXVlnth CONGRESS—FIRST SESSION.
