What the Rebels Say OF Il.



Destruction Of HmportDu Bridges on The EdSt
Tennessee and Trgira RdilroId 6y onion
CdUdlry-.I Daring Raid.
A body Of Yankee cavalry, numbering, II Ia
reported, some 1000 men, made raid on Mon
day upon tho East Tennessee and Virginia
Railroad, and destroyed two important bridges
ono across the Holston and the other across
the Watauga river The bridge across the
Holston, at Brownsville, was guarded by 200
Of our cavalry, who were completely surprised
and made prisoners without any resistance.
An account of the raid, which we find in yes
torday's Lynchburg Republican, says:
"The enemy advanced within six miles Of
Bristol, the terminus Of the Virginia and Ten
nessee Railroad but retired without coming 10
the place. They afterwards advanced toward
Jonesboro' and burned the bridge across the
watauga. At this place a small scouting par
" of citizens, hastily gotten together, came up
with them, and brisk skirmish occurred, In
which one Of the enemy was killed and two
captured, VINO were brought into Bristol on
Tuesday. They belong TO Pennsylvania regi-
ment, and, VIC learn, reported their forces at
5000.
The enemy first entered Virginia between
Cumberland Gap and Pound Gap, and passing
through Estilville, in Scott county, TO Blount-
vile, fulfilled their mission Of bridgC-burning,
and made a demonstration as If II was their
intention 10 Nlbll DElblOl' lnls, Us DclOIC blh-
ted, they failed to do, fearing, doubtless, to
venture so far. They continued In the direction
of JOncsboro', but ii is stated by our scouts,
who came into Bristol on Tuesday night, that
they were retrcating over nearly the same route
! they had advanced.
The distance from the point at which they
entered the State line to JOnCsbOTO' Is betwsGH
ninety and one hundred miles, and the raid il
certainly most daring one, and argues an au'
/ daCity In the enemy which they we're not cup
posed to possess. They are reported TO hav,
been pilOted by militia colonel of Washing
I ton county, Tennessee, by the name Of Ward
who left his home on Friday, and met them IL
/ tho mountains.
The damage TO the railroad Is seriOus, as, be
sides burning the bridges named, the track II
torn up In many place., and the slls and lror
burned The distance between the Wataugi
and HolstUn rivers Is nine miles, and tho burn
ing Of the bridges across these streams In
wolves a loss Of that distance in our railroad
communications. II WN tdks SSUerdl weekS
repair he damages, and they come at a tim" rhe,
the road is tdTSd 10 Us utmost capacity.
But fow Of the citizens along their marcl
were molested by the Yankees, nor have VI
heard Of that destruction Of private propert
usual in their raids.
Tho citizens Of Bristol, we learn, behave
nUbly on this trying occasion. Old and yOun
prepared, with alaCrity, to meet the invaders o
their homes, and to protect their hroSides fror
pollution by their hlTCliug foe,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 0, 1858.
To the Readers Of the National RsPub'
Iioan.

The undersigned, in assuming the editorial
management of the "Ndtional RepWblicdi," Will
not hesitate to say that he docs so with some
degree Of reluctance. After serving in almost
Cvory capacity in printing office, and upon
newspaper, during the last twenty years, and
for the last seven years, at different times, as
correspondent from this city Of some Of the
leading journals in the United States, he has
come to the deliberate conclusion that he who
is a faithful journalist is a willing slave TO the
public. Especially Is II so In this city. WASH
ington being the capital Of the nation, nCcossa-
rily embraces within It's limits the representa-
tiycb Of tho world. Analyzo this fact, and you
present a field OF labor TO the journalist such as
no other city in tho world producos for no
