THE WAR NEWS.

The news yesterday was very meaere All wa,
quiet at Petersburg but il is said that the move
ments Of the eneny's wagon trains, and the unusua
dust hovering over his camps, showed that some
movement oi troops was taking place. 1t is proba-
Die that Grant IL moving more men TO Washington
1t Is hthef stated that he is removing some of his
heavy guns from III front Of Petersburg, but this
hardly probable. Directly those guns leave the
front OF Petersburg, Ulysses cases to be Iieuten-

From Mobile there is nothing further 1t NAV be
proper to state that the enenys feet menacing tina,
city is very much i'll the same position, as far az
chances of success through its own efforts are, con-
eetred, as a fleet menacing Richmond from below
Drewry'S Bluff would be.
On this side of tho river all is quiet.

Of Pennsylvania and Maryland there IS no intelli-

THE CAPTURE OF sTONEAIAN'S RAIDERS.
Raiding parties are not caught often, and the cap

officers confined there. lie got within three miles
oi Macon, and was Tcpulsed and turned back
Cnhappily, however, for him., General Wheeler
had sent three brigades of Alabama and Ken
tueky cavalry i'll his rear, and when he turn-
ed TO go back he found them in his front They
had the only road he could gctoff By, and he form
ej his troops to cut his way through This trouble
was spared him by the Confcderates making the first
change and driving him two miles. Just as they were
about to make another charge ne sent in white lag,
s.irenderng unoonditonally. He and his staff took
of their AIMS and handed them over to Colonel
Crew, and Stoneman, sitting down on a log near by,
took good cry. Six hundred of his men. surren-
derrd with him. but the rest broke into the woods
where they were followed and pretty thoroughly
killcd'cr captured by men. We took six hun
dred prisoners, thousand horses and two pieces
Of cannon. These raiders had spread deSolation
along tlre track they had marched. They had en-
tered private houses and stripped ladies' fingers and
breasts Of rings and pins broke open drawers and
