HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF WEST VIRGINIA, in the Field, June 10, via Beverly, Va., June 13.—General Hunter, with the combined forces of Crook and Averell, moved from Staunton at 5 o'clock this morning.
We destroyed over three million dollars worth of rebel property at Staunton, two large cloth factories, and a boot and shoe factory, and extensive foundries.
General Stahl was wounded in the shoulder during the battle of Piedmont, while gallantly leading his men. He retired from the field for about a half hour, while his wound was being dressed, when he again assumed command.
An expedition sent to Waynesboro has just returned, having destroyed several railroad bridges and torn up the track.
Imboden's command is thoroughly demoralized. There is no force now of any account in Hunter's front, unless there are reinforcements from Lee's army.
Our prisoners not paroled, numbering 1,040, were sent through Buffalo Gap and over the mountains, and have arrived safe at Huttonsville, inside our picket lines, on their way North.
