A YANKEE RAID.

A raid of large body of Yankees, belonging to
Rosecrans' command, into the town of McMin
vile, Tenn, is confirmed By our exchanges from
Winchester and Chattanooga. They entered our
lines at Morrison, station on the McMinnvllle
and Manchester railroad, and occupied it and
every other station on the road up to McMinn-
Vile and McMinnville also. There was COM
pany of Provost Guardsmen present. who made
stand against the first advance for the purpose OF
giving our wagons, etc, a fair start to escape.
fter brisk skirmish of half an hour, overpower-
ing numbers forced this handful of men to dis
perse. Some escaped and others were captured
There being no farther obstacle, the Yankees pro-
ceeded at once to the public square. They were
mostly mounted infantry, and estimated at between
5000 and 10000 Their first business was the
destruction of the large cotton factory near the
railroad bridge It was Of the most extensive
and has been also one of the most useful in the
South. 1t was completely destroyed. They then
burnt the depot buildings and adjoining houses
and the bridge across Barren ForaA 1t is reported
that they burnt the Court House also. -

A RETURNED PRISONER.
From the Wilmington Journal.

We had the pleasure this morning of meeting a
friend, native of adjoining county, but men,
Der of a regiment of Texan Rangers, who was cap
tured at Arkansas Post, and lately returned South
by exchange or parole via City Point.
He was carried from the Post up to Alton, Lii.
nois, to Springfield and thence to Chicago aud in
getting South was carried around through por-
ton of Ohio and Indiana to Dunkirk, New York,
thence to Harrisburg, Pa, thence to Baltimore,
thence to City Point, so that he good deal
of the Northern country and something of the
Northern people. His opinion is that the under
current aganet the war is stronger than many of
us at the South are prepared to believe, but that
the time for its display has not yet arrived The
Democrats, or ''Copperheads,' as the Republicans
call them, very bitter against Lincoln and his
administration. The people generally very
sick of the war. That much is unmistakeable,
though whether they yet prepared to close it
on our TERMS of final separation, is very question
able. The Chicago Tribune, a very Black paper
quoted with great zest the articles of the Rich
mond Enquirer down on the Northern and North
western Democrats, and tainted them Herewith.
We must confess that We are confirmed in our
formerly expressed opinion that these articles
were injudicious in the extreme. and the avidity
with which they were seized upon by our bitterest
enemies goes to show this. IF the antiLincoln-
lite organization at the North could do us no good
1t could DO us no harn why not give fair
chance?
We lost at Arkansas Post over FIVE thousand
men, including the sick in the hospitals. We
had, engaged, somewhat three thousand effec-
tive men, but sufficient renforcements came up
just in time to be captured to swell the total num-
Der of prisoners to over five thousand, as already
stated.
The regiment guarding the body Of prisoners of
which our friend formed part, was We think, the
5Sth Illinois. The greater portion of the men
whom he saw or heard, or with whom he came in
contact seemed to be Irish. This may not have
been and probably was not the case 10 the MAORI
ty of the illinois regiments but it 10 those be
saw. These Irshmen did not seem TO like the
service particularly, but it was that nothing.
They could neither obtain employment nor assis-
lance. If they asked for either they were told to
60 into the army. .-

ANOTHER ORDER OR ADDRESS FROM
GEN. HILL.
Head Quarters, Department N. c., ]
Goldsboro, April Oath, 1868. {

General Orders, No. 81
The Department Commander returns his heart
felt thanks to the troops under his command for
their courage in BATTLE patient endurance on long
fatiguing marches in the cold and wet, for their
vigilance on duty and uniform good behavior
every where. Unlike the rascally Yankees, you
have protected private property, and no depreda-
tons have been committed except in few in
stances by the 18th N G. Regiment. It is to be
hoped that this brave Regiment will leave off this
low Yankee practice, and will behave we'll on
the march it has always done on the battle field
Some twenty Cavalry men, under Lieutenant
Beard, behaved badly in presence of the Yankees,
and the same is charged against Captain Nichols
Company of Cavalry. All the rest of the troops
behaved most handsomely.
Soldiers! with forces inferior to the Yankees,
you drove them into their rathoes in Newbern
and Washington. You held the latter place in
guns, you whipped the four gun-bcats in the
harbor at Washington, disabling two of them, and
driving the poor poltroon Renshaw, U. S. Navy
under shelter of an Island. With some half a
dozen field pieces, you kept back nine gun-boats
from coming to the relief of their afflicted con-
sorts. The relieving force of seven thousand men,
you whipped easily as to think the battle was
but skrmish, and were preparing for the real
contest when you learned that the foe had slipped
OFT In the darkness or the nlSnt, Olockadlng the
road behind him, so that dog, or sneaking ex-
empt could not crawl through. If you failed to
accomplish greater things, the fault was not yours
How much better it is thus to deserve the
thanks of the country by your courage and
patience, than to skulk at home as the cowardly
exempts do. Some of these poor dogs have hired
substitutes, as though money could pay the service
every man owes his country. Others claim to own
twenty negroes, and with justice might claim to be
masters of infinite amount of cowardice.-
Others stufy squires, bless their dgni6ed
souls! Others warlike militia officers and
their Regiments cannot dispense with such models
of military skill and valor.
And such noble regiments they have! Three
field officers, four staff officers, ten Captains, thirty
Lieutenants and one private, with misery in his
bowels. Some are pill and syringe gentlemen, and
have done their share of killing at home. Some
are kindly making shoes for the army and gene
rously give them TO the poor soldiers, only asking
two months pay. Some are TOO sweet and delicate
for anything but fancy duty: the sight of blood is
unpleasant, and the roar of cannon shocks their
sensibilities.
When our independence is won, the most
trifing soldier in the ranks will be more respected
as he is now more respectable, than an army of
these skulking exempts. d. Ell. HILL,
A. Major-G cneral

THE SAvAGEs AT WoRK-The Yankees at
Suffolk, Va are devastating that section of country
with an unsparing hand. On Wednesday last, a
detachment of seventy-fve Vandals with two
pieces of artillery, landed at Holidays Point, on
the Nansemond river, and destroyed the dwellings
of John T. Pruden, Peter Houseman and Thos.
Wilkinson. They burnt barn belonging to the
estate of the late Albert Shivers, and fred the
dwelling, but the ladies the premises ex-
tinguished the flames On the same day another
party fired portion of the village of Chuckatuck,
in Nansemonl county, and destroyed several
houses. This was done without giving the people
any warning, but we have not heard of any loss of
life
