STRASBURGH, May 16. – Yesterday afternoon a band of guerrillas made a dash on the railroad and killed one and took fourteen prisoners all belonging to the 28th Pennsylvania.
The Railroad Bridge, 50 feet high and 350 feet long, over the north fork of the Shenandoah was completed tonight. The track will be laid and trains will pass to-morrow morning. The work was constructed in forty hours under the superintendence of G. W. Nagle, Government Bridge Builder.
All is quiet in front to-night.
It is currently reported that Milroy and Schenck are in occupation of Staunton.
