Is. Ceatsal railroad Weh have since heard Of
ta,m on TIE York river railroad, where they took
and burned railway trains, afler which ez-
plot they gaiIoped down the road 70 the White
houss on tic Pamunksy. Last night, in addi-
ton 10 the troops which were OF once sent out 70
man tie lines OF civilizations around the city, q
hodv If volunteers wss. organized by General
George W. Randolph, late Secretary Of War,
and this force remains under AIMS today, All
classes Of citizsns were eager to participate in
the defense of tke city. The monetary excite
ment. created BY tie belief that tie cavalry raid
was really designed to attack Richmond, hes
died anay. Sill the modification fenains that
sueh an enterprise eeult have been successfully
carried out, despised tie slnple warning given
10 tho authorities more than q nenth ago, wheg
The same plan vas defeated By tho check given
The Yankees At the hands Of FIiz Lees beTse-
men at Kelley's ford. TAs amount cf demsge

OF Tie fEhta at Chsnceilorsyille We only know
tEasit vas a general Engagement, ard was fought
with great obstizsey over q liEs of twenty miles;
that the Yankees were rspulsOd with heavy loss
st all points, and have been driven across the
R~appahannoek; that we have taken FIVE thou-
ssnl prisoners. and that General Lee calls ii .
great victory These words maan much
ion ussa ~ Lss Our own loss has
f5rohsolv bean severe. Thef Grave General Pax
ton was killed. Generals Heath and A. P. Hill,
were both eighty wounded. But uki.a We a.
nsnt the gallant dead with becoming tears, per
baps the most distressing item in the account il
tho " severe wound received By General

vals to know sLe exact nasurs Of this casa

son IL personally felt by every nan, weman,
and child in the Confederate States. The JOY
With which the inssHig eace. Of eur great vic

been struck down in fall career, when the pres

that ihe battle you'd be renewed this morninE.
and the pursuit Of the eneEny's flying columns
