There is no cxaggeration in the picture

The Late Confederate Raid Into Holly
Springs.

The Richmond Dispatch of Jan. 18th,
gives an account Of ihe Confederate caval-
ry raid into Holly Springs, Mississippi -
After describing the surprise of the Fed
eral forces, the Dispatch says:
The surprised camp surrendered 1900
men and $50 commissioned officers, who
were Immediately parolcd. And then
commenced the work Of Instruction.
The extensive buildings OF the Mississippi
Central dcpot---the station-houses, the
ensnc-bouses and immense store houses
were filled with supplies Of clothing and
commissary stores. Outside of the depot
the barrels OF flour were estimated to DO
half! mile in length, one hundred and ff-
~ feet through, aud fifteen feet high
TuEpcntlne was thrown over this, and tho
whole amount destroyed Up town, the
court house and tho public buildings, liv-
cry stables, and all capacious establish
meuts were filled, ceiling high, with med
ical and ordnance stores. They were all
fired, and the explosion of one of the bull
dings, in which was stored one hundred
barrels of powder, knocked down nearly
all the houses on the south side of the
square. Surely such scene of dcvas,a-
ton was never before presented to the eye
OF man: G!auce at the gigantic esti-
mates:
100000 fixed cartridges and other
ordnance stores, valued at 81 100000, in
Guiding 5000 rifles and 2,OOO rcvolvers.
100000 suits Of clothing and other
quartermastcr's stores, valued at $500, 900;
1900 barrels of flour and ether commits
sary stores valued 100000.
Oac million Of dollars worth of medical
stores, for which invoices to that amount
were exhibited, and 1000 bales of cotton,
and $500, 900 woth Of suffers stores.

WAR NEWS.

In consequence of the destruction of the
newly built railroad bridge at Mill Greek,
nine miles south of Nashville, Tennessee some
say by Wheeler's Confederate cavalry, whilst
others charge it upon band of guerillas COM
manded by McCann and Kilkird-Gcn. Mitchell
has ordered 'the houses, barns, fences, and al
property susceptible of destruction," upon the
lands owned by McCann and Kilkird, to be de-
stroyed by fire. He has also directed that in iu-
ture "all property of any kind belonging to any
Rebel or Rebel sympathizer found within one
mile of any similar outrage" shall be devastated
in q like manner.
Recent dispatches from Nashville report that
Gen. Bragg has been superseded by Geu. Long
street, whose army corps is at Shelbyville.
On Thursday night week, a cavalry sergeant
and nine men were captured by the Confederates
on the Braddocii road 'The men," says the
Washington Star, "wcre improperly asleep al
the timc J" and adds despondingly $50 we gor
The reported capture of some Confederate
works On the Arkansas river, by the Federal
forces under Gen. McCcrnand is confirmed
The Confederates were driven from their outer
and lower defences by shells from the gunboats,
but not until they had inflicted some damage on
the latter. Six regiments are said to have been
captured within the works, and two regiments
of Texans subsequently,.
Correspondents at Nashville, Tennessee, aniici-
pate 'tstirrng times in that quarter very soon.
We are now told that five steamboats-threc
only were previously rcported-laden with valu-
able commissary stores, together with the gun
boat Slidell, were captured by the Conlederates
on the Cumberland river. After the removal of
their contents, the boats were anchored in mid
channel, and burned.
Several bridges on the Louisville and Nash
vile railroad have been again destroyed, so that
mail communications cannot be resumed for some
time yet to come. The wires have also been cut
and one bridge destroyed between Nashville and
Murfreesboro', aud the Confederates are said to
be making great efforts to deprive the army un-
der Rosecrans of its supplies, and after cutting
off its line of retreat, to fall upon it and crush it..
Gen, Longstrect it is alleged, brought with
him to Shelbyville, where he now is, some thir-
teen brigades from the army of Virginia.
A despatch from Nashville on Sunday states
that twenty steamers arrived there on that day,
under convoy of two gunboats. While passing
Harpeth Shoals several vessels were fred upon
by the Confederates and three men wounded.
The Confederate steamer Alabama was off Ha-
vana on the 9th inst.

The Original Draft.

Orphcus G. Kerr gives the original draft
of the Presidents message as it was sub
mitted to the cabinet 1t will be seen
how much the world would have lost if
Mr.. Kerr had not nterfrrcd and saved
the original ideas of the President from
mutilatiou. The main ideas were we'll
preserved in the message as published,
but the peculiar shrewduess by which they
were illustrated can Only be seen in the
original:
"Ccrtaiuly it is not so easy to pay somc
thug as it is to pay nolhing; but it is
easier to pay small sum than it is to
pay u large sum; aud it is easier to pay
any bill when we have the money than it
is to pay smaller bill when VIC have no
money. Compensated Emancipation re-
quires no more money than would be ne
cessary to the progress Of Remuneruted
Enfranchisement, which would not close
before the end of five hundred years.
At that time, VIC shall undoubtedly have
five hundred times as many people as we
have now, provided that no one dies in the
meantime; and supposiug the premium
on gold to increase III the same ratio as it
has increased since our last census vas ia.
ken, the premium on specie belonging to
five hundred times our present population
will be amply sufficient to pay for all per,
sons of African descent.
do not state this inconsideratcly. At
the same ratio of increase us we now real
ize, American gold will soon be worth
more than ull Europe. We have ten mil
lions niue hundred and sixty. three thous.
and millions, while Europe has three mil
lions eight hundred thousand, and yet the
average premium on specie, in some of
the States is already above that of Europe
Taking the brokers, in the aggregate, l
find that if one gold dollar is worth Sl.3O
in one year,
1t will be worth 81 60 in two years,
800 in three years,
b" $40 in four years,
" $50 in five years.
This shows great increase. Ii gold
u'iidT, III nFc years ~ worth Co.oo, III VIII
Of course, be worth $3,250, Or five hun
dred times as much, in live hundred years.
Thus, when our population is five hundred
times as great as at present, supposing
each man to have gold dollar, the pre-
MUM of s3,250 on his gold dollar, will
etable each man to purchase thirty-two
and half persons Of African decent from
our loyal shareholders of the border States
at Sl00 a piece, though he would be vir-
tually cxpending but one dollar himself
This scheme of emanci paicn would ccr-
tainly make the war shorter than it now
has II prospect of being. In word, 1t
shows that dollar will be much harder
to pay for the war than will be dollar
for emancipation on the proposed plan"
