"A BOLD REBEL RAID.
40 Wagons and 500 Mules taken
within Fifteen Miles of Washing.

GEORGETOWN, SATURDAY AFTERNOON,
June 2S.-On the Rockville pike, toward
Frederick, about three miles this side of
Rockville, this afternoon, l overlook a
train of 40 wagons, Gall mule teams) I'M
der charge of Capt. Page, who was pro-
ceeding toward Frederick Within two
miles of Rockville we met man running
in great haste toward the rear of the
train, eXclaiming "the rebels are upon
you!" He was Immediately arrested and
put uuder guard for attempting to create
a panic! Subsequently we met a
preacher, who said he had just dismissed
his congregation at Rockville, and that
rebels held the place with force of from
25O to 800 men, with a provost marshal
appointed; that they were arresting Union
men, and putting them under guard.
When within three-quarters of mile of
Rockville, Captain Page and several of US
rode ahead to the brow of hill and halted.
Soon we saw force of about enc hundred
rebels on the rise at the edge of the town.
They sent out scouts, who advanced rap
idly to within six hundred yards, and then
quickly deployed into an open field on
their left3while the main force lay behind
the hill.
The scouts then rode up a few yards
nearer, and fired few shots at us. The
balls whizzed close by US, and we immedi-
ately wheeled our horses, and Capt. Page
ordered the teamsters, who were nearly
up to us by this time, to turn about. Then
commenced the greatest confusion | ever
saw The rebels soon saw the turning
wagons, and came down with lightning
speed upon the unarmed transfers, firing
as they came The teams at the head of
the train which turned first came down at
a laundering rate Of speed upon those in
the act of turning, taking off wheels,
breaking the tongues, upsetting sometimes
a half dozen wagons, and then themselves
becoming total wreck Such was the
scene from one end of the train to the
other. The rebels in the meantime spur
red for the rear of the train with the ut
most speed, and shot such as did not halt
at their command. Two ambulances con-
tanning some officers and a mail carrier
were in the rear of the train, and are IN
doubtedly captured. Fortunately, the
wagons were nearly all empty. Up to
P. NJ, the time that we left Tenallytown,
about fifteen or twenty made their way
in, having managed to escape in various
ways. The capture of this train is quite a
serious loss, as the mules were in splendid
condition.
The rebels undoubtedly captured many
people and teams who were coming to-
ward Washington from Frederick and
elsewhere. At least eight hundred mules
snapped hands in an hour this morning
For the whole affair somebody should be
held to savage responsibility.

appearance. About two months ago, Mr..
Parr took his present store and resid ence.
and placed Mrs. Elliott in the sto re as
cashier. She always acted very faith fully,
and was very useful to Mr.. Parr in his bu-

Elliott, caused Mrs. Parr to become very
jealous OF her, and treated her very cold

On Wednesday evening last, she told
Mr.. Parr that she did not think that she

her flesh, causing the most excruciating
agony. The hall was dark, and she could

FltZ Hugh Lees Bash inso An
mandate.

h6hOstfSs
From the Washington Chronicle
Fitz Hugh Lee, not content with his eX-
PLOTS at Fairfax Court House, on Saturday
made a raid into Annandale, six miles this
side of that place. The only persons at
this place were Lieutenant Dagwell, of
SCOTS Nine Hundred, with about twenty
men, guarding a lot of rebel prisoners on
their way to Alexandria, and Mr.. Sweet
yer, army purveyor, and two or three SUIT
lers and commissaries' clerks, whose names
we could not learn. The rebels came in
on the old Braddock road from Burk's
Station, and crossed the Alexandria road
at Annandale. They numbered fifteen
hundred men, commanded by Fitz Hugh
Lee in person, and their movements were
so rapid that no one had the least time to
escape.
The suffers wagons, accompanied by
Lieut.. Dagwells guard over the rebel prls-
oners, were preparing to move towards
Alexandria, when they heard the most I'M
earthly yells, and shower of balls whlzzed
all around them. In moment the whole
body of rebel cavalry were on them. Mr.:
Sweetzer Immediately ran into house and
concealed himself, whilst his clerk, Mr..
Beach, hid in barn.
A large number of the enemy were inn
mediately sent by the commander to seize

every suspicious person they could find.
The rest cOntented themselves with rifing
the wen-stOcked wagons of the suffers
and the scene presented, it is said. was
was ludicrous in the extreme In. less
time than it takes to relate it, the wagons
were rifled of their contents consisting of
army shirts, boots, shoes, chickens, to-
bacco, segars, preserves and innumerable
other articles needed in the army The
boots were the principal object of most of
them, and some succeeded in getting one
boot and one shoe, whilst others had two
pair OF each on their shoulders. In Mr..
Sweetzer's wagon there were lot OF large
show-bllls with the names of the principal
articles he had for sale. These the rebels
took, pinned on their clothes, and pa
raded around, much to the delight OF their
comrades
Mr.. Sweetzer's wife pleaded with Gen.
Lee not to take her husband, as he was
unable, even if he were willing to do so
Che is lame), to do any injury to the rebel
government. She was joined by a minis
ter, who related the part taken by Mr..
Sweetzer in defending Miss Ford, arrested
by our troops as rebel spy. Their efforts
were successful, and General Lee released
him, giving pass through his pickets.
After burning some of the wagons, and an
hospital ambulance containing medicine,
which they could not use, two other wag-
ons were loaded with plumber and started
off with the prisoners to Richmond. After
enjoying themselves, and securing the
country for miles around in the hope of
picking up stragglers, they withdrew their
videttes and returned to Fairfax.
The rebels, although very profuse in
their expletives against our government
and its soldiers, treated their prisoners
very kindly. They all avowed that the
south was tired of defensive war, and
would henceforth wage an offensive one,
and would have sweet revenge for the I'M
told miseries we have heaped upon their
soil. Lee himself was very boastful, and
asserted that the crisis had at last come.
The rebels were well dressed and splen-
didly mounted. The soldiers mostly wore
blue pantaloons with gray jackets. Lee
dresses with black feather in his slouched
hat, this being his only mark to distin-
guish him from his other officers.
