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.
A serious accident befell George Bird, [Esq.,
Chief Engineer of the Boston Fire Department,
while at -the fire in Broad street yesterday
morning. A ladder, thirty feet in length, tell,
striking Captain Bird first heavily on‘ the top
pf his fire bat, and glancing off, struck his
shoulders and knocked him violently tb the
ground. The upper portion of his body*is
partially paralyzed, and, though unable to move
in his bed, he has his senses perfectly. It is
feared that he may have sustained serious
internal injuries.

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. Oar forces continued
to press the. enemy hard) until the latter made

field. Atom three nvles from the town of Moore-
Held, foliowinp: the JVloo eOeid and homnev turn

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.

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.
