Averill, writing from Salem, Ro- anoke county, December 22d, acknowledges that Geneyal Averill completely balked the Rebels by his superior strategy, and it is in- comprehensible to the correspondent “how, with Gen. Echols on one side, and Gea. Imbo- den on the other. Gen. Averili should have d= ved and eluded both till be was entirely b nd their reach and the latter, especially, be- ¥ lievingties be was actually coatronting sttt, “tT # short distance west of Staunton, and thrext- ening shat place, when a tejegram from en.

The home guara had been d rected to barricade the road by which tie en- cmy were advancing, which might have be-n dune so effectvally in the mountain passes aud gorges, even & few miles trom town, es to have Ccelayed them tor hours. Also, to scout the country for fifteen miles or more, so as to give 4b leaet sufficient notice to ran off the reams, { &c. And whiie the Quartermaster and ve Missary, and all their employees, were making the most strenuous exertions, and relying upon these proper precautions, everything else proved a disgracetnl failure. No scouts re- turning, no blockading done, and the enemy permitied to dash in without notice or the slightest impediment, and capture the place with all the stock aud supplies, except 2 tew car loads, while there were empty cars within a few miles, if the company had furnished them in time at the depot. to have carried off everything, and then given time for horses, &c., to have been run across the river into the mountains and escaped.”’ Averill is believed to have inflicted a loss of $2 0.000 upon the Confederates at Salem “No considerable damage was done to the raiiroad. A few raile were torn up, two bridges burnt, which will be restored ina few days, the depot burned, one unimportant mill and cne private stable in the use of the Government. About 5,000 pounds of pork, 5,004 busheis of corn, 2,000 bushels of oats, something over 10h) barrels of flour,7,.0i0 pounds of leather, some wagons broken, some burned, and perhaps about 30 cr 40 g@vernment horses captured Thus are we taught, by another armiliatiog lesson, the necessity cf greater vigilance utex- posed points, and I believe it has had a whola- some effect upon the community at least, and hope it may have upon others coucerned. + Scarcely any damage was dove to private property or citizens, except those who were Irying to escape with their goods. Most of these were captured and their goods destroyed, but the parties afterwards released.” The Sentinel, treating of this Tay}, sayn, cdi torially : “We publish to-day two communiecstions, detailing the operations of two of the bodies of the troops engaged in the lute aitempt to cap- ture Averill. The amountof damage sustained by Averill is stated in one of these. The causes which led to Ayerill’s escape are two: the one was the false intelligence as to the enemy’s movemente, which caused Fitz Lee to be or- dered from the very spot where he oucht to have been, and made him lose two days; the other was the failure to burn the bridge over Jackson river, by the detachment which Jack- son bad ordered to that daty.” The Sentinel has the dispatch from the Rap- idan some points of which were published in the Star yesterday in the dispatch trom Fort- ress Monroe.
