Report comes this morning that guerillas crossed Sheridan's
railroad last night and captured a train on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad,
near Duffield Station. They passed near our picket posts. Did not molest us, as
we did not see or hear anything of them. Trains with passengers, mail, and
supplies pass over this road. The rebs no doubt read Sheridan's notice, for
many of them have homes in this vicinity.
