Rockingham (search for this): article 4
nd the Yankees, though occupying the heights north of Winchester, have no pickets on the Valley Turnpike.--A number of the citizens of Frederick and Clark had left their homes in consequence of the order of Gen. Pope requiring them to take the oath, and were daily arriving at Staunton and other points in the upper Valley. On Thursday last there was considerable excitement at New Market in consequence of the rumored advance of the enemy on that town by way of the Luray road. On the afternoon of that day they took possession of Powell's Fort, some ten miles southeast of New Market, and it was seriously apprehended that they would extend their advance into the Shenandoah Valley. Having already suffered severely from the presence and robbery of the invaders, the people of Shenandoah and Rockingham justly dread their return. It is hoped that active operations will give them employment in some other quarter before they have an opportunity of again marauding upon that rich section.

divided his command, posting 25 of his men on the bank of a creek, and 25 on a bill in the vicinity, commanding the ford. On the appearance of the enemy Capt. Mel. ordered the men to fire, but from some defect in the powder not one of the carbines was discharged. The 25 posted on the bank of the creek then charged with sabres, the enemy using revolvers. A brisk fight resulted, in which Private Jas. Phillips was killed, and 1st Lieut. Craig Riddle, of Petersburg, and Privates Gilliam and Thompson wounded, and two missing, supposed to have fallen into the enemy's hands. Finding themselves outnumbered our men retreated, and were pursued to Garysville, about half a mile distant. The Petersburg Express learns that on Friday afternoon the Yankees, having witnessed the departure of our artillery, landed at "Maycock's," the residence of Mrs. Dr. Cole, and fired the dwelling and all the outhouses. The buildings burnt rapidly, and by dark nothing was left save the blackened chimneys.

About 400 of our cavalry reached the place before 7 o'clock, but the buildings were then in ashes, and the incendiaries had embarked and joined the Yankee fleet. The Express says that information reached that city on Sunday afternoon that a Federal gunboat had got aground in the month of the Appomattox, near City Point, and, after floundering about for some time, had resigned herself to her fate. Such disposition was immediately made of some of our heavy piece
