Guerrilla Raid in Western virginia.

The Wheeling VA LHtsiiigsaeer says tns
Confederate guerTillas are daily Increasing in
force in the counties bordering on the Ohio
river, and most vigorous measures are ne
easssry to put them down. It says;
Last Sunday week lot Of groceries, bs.cng-
ing to q DR.. Chapman, Of Spencer, R0ans
county, while on its way tOiRsveusw0Od, was
captured by Hugh Kiger, Noah Tanner, and
Andy DUsky, three notorious rangers. Colonol
Frost, upon ascertaining the fact, sent ont
squad OF Capt ROWau's cavalry, from Ravens
wood, under command Of Lieut. Dawson, with
orders to burn the boUses Of the three men named
The order was promptly executed. On Thurs
day of last week Col. Frost received Information
Of other OUtTsges committed by the rangers, aa3
again sent out a squad. The squad was fred
upon by force of at least sixty rangers, and
one Of the cavalrymsn (Chsrles Mccoy. Of this
city, was shot, and mOrtsly wounded, while
another Corporal LSWs1n) was wounded By
his horse when the attsck was made.
The cavalry found large quantity OF bread
baked at the house of Henry Sheppsrd, a vic
lent secessiOnist and ranger, whose house they
burned. The house Of Absl V. Tyce, whose son
is a ranger, was also burned, the owner having
acEno Wledged that he had fed the rangers and
he would do It again. After the return Of tho
squad, Gel Frost, at the head Of RoWan'5 cav
airy and body of infantry, started from Ra-
venswoOd on the double quick, toward the scene
Of the engagement, but the enemy had gone.
The country, however, was thoroughly secured
The houses Of Joseph Smith and m. j. ksster.
both violent secessionists, were burned 20 the
ground. and George DOwnes, VIM. Harris, Ssth

gan, all noted rangers, were captured.

for Tennessee money only 400 per cent. The

Tsg Herald on the Clsona Parvading.

Z .5a SHeFaAG on the Gloom EerVHd1Mg.
Tie Herald says the civil war has cost the
United Sta. e $500 OOO. GOO, and the sbonos Of
its dead soldiers would make Golgotha mona
meut higher than that Of Bunker Hill" 1t
says:
IN return ior this immense outlay Of blood
ard treasure, what have we gained Are the
rlbes suhduedl On the contrary, they seem
stronger than ever. Is the rebellion ct its last
gasp7 Il has to-day more soldiers in the field
than the Union. Have we succeeded in reviv-
ing the Union feeling at the South Why,
every day the TWO sections drift farther and far
ther apaTt; every day we become more aud more
ignorant Of the ssn.imonts Of the Southern peo-
PIE; every day that this accursed rebellion is
permitted 10 continue the number Of Southern
Union men becomes less as the old Union seems
more pOwerless and remote, and the new Con-
fedeTacy more powerful and succe ssful. What,
then, have we gainedl In spite of our brilliant
victories, or naval supeTiorities cur numerous
but isolated triu aphs, We have practically and
in results gained very little and lost very much.
What, then, shall we do next? Shall we give
up the war, tisbend our army and navy, and let
the rebels 90 in peace Never! II is too late
to think Of such a course. The recognition of
the Southern Confederscy by our own govern
mcnt is no longer amOrg the contingencies Of
this war. The rebels may defeat our armies and
capture cur capital-these are possibilities-but
the rebels can never conquer their independence
The conflict has assumed q new and a Bublimer
aspect We have 70 decide now not whether
tho rebels can be subdued, but whether the
country is to be saved. The question is no
longer the putting down Of the rebellion, but
the salvation of the nation. We are in cm dc
sac, from which cur only escape is the suppress
sion Of The rebellion by force.
