Capture of a Government Train by Guerrillas near Phillips
The Wheeling Intelligencer reports that on the 27th a government train of twenty eight wagons was seized by rebel guerrillas about six miles from Phillips on the road to Beverly. Sixteen wagons were plundered and burned, horses and mules seized, and the raiders fled toward Pendleton County after releasing the captured teamsters and stealing some citizens’ mounts. The mail pouch survived as the carrier dumped it into a wagon and the mail was later found intact. The guerrilla group, mostly former local residents now in the army, dispersed into nearby woods awaiting a fresh raid.
