THE REBEL RAID IK WESTERN VIR-OIKilA.

Rebel Raid upon the Baltimore aud OhioHiiilroad.Attacks and Skirmishes at Va¬rious Places.R umored Raid into Penn.sylvsnia.Ttie Baltimore Sun of this morning says re¬

lative to the recent rebel demonstration in West¬ern Virginia:

It appears that the first intimation of anymovement northward in Western Virginia to¬wards the line ot the Baltimore and Ohio roadwas an atrack at Beverly, in the Cheat Moun¬tains, some fifty miles south of Grafton, uponseveral companies of Federal troops, underLol. Latham, by a cavalry force, with artilleryRumor soon followed that Clarksburg, on theFarkersburg r«ad, in Harrison county, andGrafton, the junction of the Wheeling and Far¬kersburg road, loo miles distant from eitherplate, were threatened by the Confederates inforce. Military movements were promptlymade, however, under den. Schenck's orders,to meet the supposed emergency. In the mean¬time this excitement subsided, and rumorsarose of another body of Confederates movingfrom the \ alley of Virginia to the west, byway of Moorfield, perhaps, and possibly threat-eniiJ?,IS^w Cfeek station, between Cumberlandand Piedmont, and east of the mountains, orperhaps intending to co-operate with the forcethat had appeared at Beverly.

It is said that no demonstration, howeveroccurred at any point from Thursday until.Sunday morning, when, between ten and eleveno'clock, about 200 Confederate savalry, said tobe under a Col. McDonald, suddenly appearedat Altamont, at the head of the Fiedmon: grade,1/ miles west of that place, where they attackedand took possession of an engine and smalltrain of empty coal cars on their way to O' Don-nell s Newburg gas coal mines.As soon as this party appeared at Altamont

the telegraph wires were cut, and all commu¬nication west of the Piedmont etfice ceasedBy way of Wheeling, however, it was learnedthat squadrons of cavalry appeared almostsimultaneously at Oakland, Cranberry Sum¬mit and Rowlesburg, the three stations nextwest of Altamont, although, as far as it isknown, the aggregate of all these fores hardlyexceeded some Ave hundred meu. At Rowles¬bnrg, which was the most important point at¬tacked, five companies of Federal troops wereposted, and defended the place throughout Lheafternoon.At Cranberry Summit, ll miles east of

Rowlesburg, the telegraph wires were also cutand several rails of the track taken up.Considerable anxiety is felt about the con¬dition of affairs at Grafton, which is the mostimportant station between Wheeling and Pied-

road'' be'De ^ janction of tLe FarkersburgCol. Mulligan, of Lexington fame, was in

cemmand there on Sunday, with a consider¬able force, and being attacked on Monday inthe neighborhood, drove the Confederates tothe southward, since which nothing has beenheard of the situation there.Major General S: henck received dispatches

from Pittsburg yesterday evening, stating thatit had been positively ascertained that a forceof Confederates were then at Morgantown,and that the military arrangements had b^ns=o perfected that their capture was deemedcertain.The heavy and valuable equipment of the

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in engines audcars of all descriptions was promptly movedat the first sign of danger from New burg, Graf¬ton, and other engine stations in the threateneddistrict, to Wheeling.The Northwestern Virginia Railroad, it ap¬

pears. has been a sufferer in the present raid.Gen. Schenck received information at a latehour on Monday nigh: from Clarksburg, onthat read, announcing the fact that from adeemed military necessity, the railroad bridgesituated a few miles from Clarksburg, towardsGrafton, had been destroyed by the Federalforces. This was done without any ordersfrom Gen. Schenck. The bridge. how«««rwjII be rebuilt in a few days, '

At the latest advices there wai still bo tele¬graph communication on theroad farther westthsn Rowlesbnrg, up to which point the Fed«-ral forces were in possession.

UTIfiT,At a late hour last night information was re¬

ceived from Ool. Mulligan to the effect that hebad succeeded in sustaining himself at Graf¬ton; also that he was then marching his ocm-m»nd to ao important station en the road,which would insure ite safety.At the tine «f going to press nothing of a

definite character had been received In regardto the rumored raid «f the Coafedcratoe intoFayette county, Fenanylvania, or, in fa«t, oftheir exaot wh«reaboat«.The Baltimore AfW-kW* ef this BMrming

with robbing the effect* of Lieut. Lewis Ora-liam, on the 19:li March, while he was dyingwas concluded belore Justice Ferguson, andr<*M ilu dismissal of the accused.Mr Hnrnrk was cross-examined by Mr.

Bradley in reference to his suspicions, but nonew fact was brought out.The testimony for the prosecution here closed,

and the defence called.Mrs. Margaret E. Cooly, (sister of McNaugh-

ton,) tcstifi. d that she went to Falmonth onthe 13th ol March, and on the loth wroU to herbrother to come down. On the evening of theISth, (the day of the occurrence.) she heardtrom a tr.end (Mrs. McCarthy) that he was atFalmouth station. The witness did not seehim. Lately she had received a letter writtenby her brother at Alexandria, March 22, inwhich he states that he could not find her atFalmouth, and was going to New York[This testimony was introduced to explain

how McNaughton came to leave the city sosuddenly alter the robbery.]Mrs. McCarthy testified to the good character

of the prisoner, and to seeing him at Falmouthabout the 19th ol March. Geo. S. DiflTeiideriTeralso testified to the good character of the pris¬oner.The evidence here closed, and Messrs. Whar¬

ton and Bradley briefly argued the merits andbearings of the case, contending that there wasno evidence or suspicion on which he could beheld, and that all the circumstances connectedwith the movements of the accused could bereadily accounted for.Justice Ferguson said that after considering

all the evidence, he could not believe that Mc-Isaughton was guilty of the charge, and dis¬missed him.

It is stated that McNaughton abandoned hisproper name^n New York, where he w;is ar¬rested, and assumed that of Samuel J. Hope.A New Cape .On Saturday night last a-5

Mr. WTright refused to givethem up: but went to the office of the companyat the Navy Yard, showed the articles andleft his name and address in case the losershould apply for them, and at the same timehe offered to advertise them The companyyesterday made a formal demand for the arti¬cles, which Mr. Wright lelused to surrenderunless the owner came forward and identifiedthem: and this morning a warrant was obtainedcharging Mr. Wright with the larceny of Lhdarticles, on which he was arrested by OfficerPaiker and taken belore Justice MeKenna,who ordered him to give bail for court, whichhe refused to do, and was committed to iail indefault.
