TIE YANKEES FROM THE PENINSULA

On yesterday morning ten vessels were re-
ported to be ut the White House, on the Pa
munkey, and at an early hour body Of some
eight hundred or thousand Yankee cavalry
pas sed bv Tunstal's Station, which was al,
ready held by their pickcts, and proceeded
northward They were next seen about four
miles beyond Mcrhanicsvillc, nine miles from
this city, near where our pickcts were sta
toned, who came i'll and reported the fact.
1t was discovered about ten o'clock. at the
Telegraph Office of the Central Railroad in this
city. that the wire had been cut, and a heavy
ground wire was cyidcnt Y in on the western end
"fthc line. Very shortly aftcrward information
was received by the line following the Il. F. &
u. K. H.. from Hanover Junction, that the Yun-
kce cavalry had made another raid on the
Central road. near Hanover Courthouse, eigh-
teen miles above Richmond. This information
was brought 10 thcJuncton bv Il courier, too
late to stop two material trains and freight
train, which passed down Il very short time be-
fore the information was received. The mate
rial trains being in front. the foremost onc
when near Wickham'S Turnout, two miles
above the COurt-housc. ran into pile of heavy
timbcrs, placed across the track: and at the same
time, were fired into by the cavalry, who used
their carbines. Fortunately, the train was
moving very slow. and Knocked the obStruc-
tionS from the track. The engine was immc-
diatcly reversed, and made good the escape
from the enemy. All three trains returned to
the function safe. and arc now out Of harm 5
way.
Late in the evening. we learned that Il firht
had taken place between these raiders and Il
regiment ot our troops, who were stationed to
protect the bridges over the Soutlalna and
Little rivers, with what result we did not
learn.
No definite information. except that brought
by the trains Ia the junction could lc OBJ
tanned. Ample preparations have been made
t" prevent further advance of this manlud-
ing party. which thus far can have done very
litilr damage To the road.
