SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 25.
THE RAID ON THE sOUPHnRN


/ Something more definite Of the movements On
the Southern railroad has reached the city, the
particulsrs, however, not differing materially
from first advices. TIE marauding foTce, it
appears, was only three hundred men. At
Philadelphia they woro seven hundred strong,
as stated by what is considered authentic
authority. Tho whereabouts Of tte remainder
has rot been accounted for by any intelligence
tiat has como to hand.
The party that visited Newton were omi-
nsntly successful in their designs upon that
stslion. Arriving at seven o'clock they were in
time to intercept tie morning mail train coming
wass from Meridian and the freight going cast;
and these are the trains supposed to be cap
tured, alluded to in the dispatch frcm Mr..
FRANTz. sReports hsve been received by other
parties, msking substantially the same
statements. We have heard of no destruction
Of property other thsn mentioned, nor Of injury
50 the railroad The movements Of The party
unaceounted for, may have been against tho
various bridges east Of Newton, but the general
impression is, their coUrss after division was
toward Marion AID Meridian. This is probable,
as they we're undoubtedly posted as to tho i'm
portancs Of both petitions.
The detachment that appeared st Newton left
about noon, finally declaring their inteUticn to
visit Enterprise, fifteen miles below Meridian.
Should they DO go they viii find The govern
ment machinery, the prize they were after,
gone. They took the Garlandsville road.
TIE boastof the larger supporting force in their
rear is mere bsggatells, uttered for effect. The
as remarked yesterday, is daring
one, equaling the fsats of Fome of our own gal
Iant leaders; but we have reason to believe that
steps have bsen taken to enciTcle the adventu-
.urers 50 completely thss the finale will |
not be attended with such happy results TO
hem as have attended the exploits Of STUART,
l5oEGAN, e.c. While they cannot accomplish
5o1ious damage in the direction they have taken,
hey are increasing the difficulties of escape.
We expect to chronicle tbo fact that the party
las been bagged in an carly issue.
