RAIDS.

W e have given ouT views, says the Rich n end
Wing OF now q raid into the enemy's Territory
should be conducted. Unless such expeditions
rayage anu deeastate, they do the enemy no harm.
and, consequently, ourselves no good. w. do
not see why cavalry expedition might not be
sent into the enemy'S country that would destroy
a hundred millions OF dollars w, nth of property,
and even this would have to be often repeated
before it would balance the score of injury done
US by the armies and rowing bands of the enemy.
Such course would bring the war home to the
people of the North, and would be the loudest
and strongest argument for peace yet submitted
to them. We need not fear retaliation for they
are already doing all they can in this way. Their
purpose is to destroy everything that supports
existence, and bring us to starvation. Their
country is tenfold more inviting for raids than
ours, and our bold raiders are vastly better suit
ed for such enterprises than their iootpads.-
The following extract from an account of their
late expedition into Gloucester and Matthews
shows what reason We have to adopt the mode
of war recommended
The counties of Matthews and Gloucester were
well secured. All the warehouses containing
grain were sacked, the mills burned. and every
thing that could in any way aid the rebels were
destroyed or captured. Three hundred horses,
two hundred and fifty head ofcattle, two hundred
sheep, and hundred mules, together with a large
number of contrauands, were brought back by
The raiders.
The rebels farmers were all taken by surprise.
They had not expected a demonstration of the
kind. Not only were they made to surrender
everything that could be OF the least use TO US,
but they were compelled to be silent spectators
of the destruction of their agricultural imple-
ments. Many persons win ask whether this was
fair, and why did forces destroy that for which
they had no USE A little reflection will soon
show. BY gripping an enemy we weaken him.
Men in the army must have sustenalce If We
deprive them of This discomfort will manlfesI
itself among them, and they will become mntin-
Gus. They will no longer have any regard for
discipline. This weakens an adversary very ma
terialy.
