Forest RAID, in West Tennessee

An officer who was made prisoner by
Forests cavalry at Lexington, Tennes-
see, arrived in Cincinnati on Wednesday.
He left Fo rests lines at Butterield sta
ton, on the Mobile and Ohio railroad
and taking guards prisoners. He had ta-
ken in all 500 prisoners. His force con-
sists of 5000 mounted men, and eight
pieces of artillery. He crossed the Ten
nessec river by swimming his horses, and
took over his cannons and baggage on
RATS, which were constituted in Duck riv-
or. The fifth Ohio cavalry lost sixty -four
men taken prisoners at Lexington, and
thirty at Trenton. Col. Taylor of the
Fifth Ohio volunteer cavalry, is sick at
Lagrange. Forests raid has been very
destructive. His especial object appears
to have been to break up the railroad.

WASHINGTON, Dec 2S.-The enemy's
cavalry (of course Stuarts) got entirely
around Burnside's army yesterday, hav.
ing Dumfrics in their possession in the
morning. A body Of troops under Col.
Canby, who, it is charged, had no pick
cts out, were surprised in the night and
suffered capture to an extent difficult to fix.
Rumor enumerates our loss at from 900
to %. The 18th Pennsylvania cavalry
was roughly handled and withdrew in
considerable haste. Arms were first pla-
ced in the hands of this regiment only n
week ago. Fifteen wagons containing
rcgimental properly are said certainly to
be lost. 1t is doubted whether we lost
the whole Of -four gun battery, or only
half Of it last night.
These swilt-riding maraudcrs are in
possession of Occoquan.
The operator at Burk's Station this
evening states that the enemy were within
three miles.
The movement Of troops from here to
the scene Of this enterprise has been
prompt and forcibe, both of cavalry and
fairs has never been partial.
Since writing this, we hear that Stuart
and his comrades were early this morning
within six miles Of Fort Lyon. Also
that they got the whole of the battery at
Dumirics. Also that at Occoquan they
fell on a detachment Of the 22l Pennsyl
vania cavalry. a fight ensued, unequal
on our side, in which the 22d had twenty
men killed and wounded, and the balance
captured.
LATER.
We have just received reliable infor-
nation that the rebels were badly repulsed
Saturday at Dumiries. On their retreat
they fell in with our troops under Gen.
Gcary, between Dumflics and Wolf Run,
and were driven by them south of the
road they aimed to take, the direct road
to the shoals.
