STRASBURG, May 16.
Yesterday morning a band of guerillas made a dash on the
railroad beyond Front Royal, and killed one man and took fourteen prisoners –
all belonging to the 28th Pennsylvania.
The railroad bridge, 50 feet high and 850 feet long, over
the north fork of the Shenandoah was completed to-night. The track will be laid and trains will pass
tomorrow. The work was constructed in 48
hours, under the superintendence of G. D. Nagle, Government bridge builder.
All is quiet in front to-night. It is currently reported that Milroy and
Schenck are in occupation of Staunton.
