Will be enabled to obtain the proper Immediate
relief.
Movements Of GuerTillds.-We learn from citizens
OF Prince William county that the guerTlllaG have
not infested that region OF country for two or
three weeks to any very great extent. Klnoheloe
has received orders from Richmond to move down
with his band into the counties of WeatmoreIAnd

The One Hundred Days Men aud the


The history of the one.hundred.dsy.men i'm.
broglio in New York is briefly this, Maj. Gen.
sandford, commander of The New York mil.
itia, published an order, with view to induce
enlistmants, that all persons mustered Into ser.
vice under tho Presidents call for militia
would be exempt from the draft Of September
5th, Governor Seymour telegrsphed to Pro-
vost Marshal Gehetdl Fry on the subject, how
ever, and he replied that no one.hundred-day
men would be exempted from that draft, but
would be on the same footing as the Ohio one
hundred-day men. Governor Seymour then
refused 10 forward one.hundred-day troops,
and sent Gen. sandlord here TO negotiate,
claiming that men raised on the one hundred
days call were exempt altogether from the
draft for next September 9th.
The Secretary of War referred the matter to
Solicitor Whiting, who gave his opinion that
the Provost Marshal General and General Sand
ford were wrong In their decisions; and that, ,
inasmuch as the New York troops were called
on not for any definite time, but for period
not exceeding one hundred days and might
therefore he discharged from service at any
moment prior to the draft, such previous
service would not exempt them from the draft;
but that any one.hundred.days' men actually
In the military service at the time when his
name is drawn from the draft-box shall be en-
titled to exemption from that draft. The de-
clsIon of the Secretary Of War was made in
conformity with this opinion OF the Solicitor,
and handed to General sandford.

NASHVILLE, July 27.-Gen. Rosseau has ra.
turned from his great raid against the enemy,s
communications, which expedition Gen. Sher-
man, in his official circular to the army. caIIs
one Of the most successful of the war. Cant.
Williams, Assistant AdJutant General, fur
nishes the following summary of events during
the raid:
Gen. Rosseau left Decatur, Ala, on the 10th
OF this month, and, with :, 700 men, arrived at
the Coosaw river on the 18th. Here he can
tured ferryboat and crossed over part Of his
command, which had but lust effected A lodp.
ment when it was attacked by force of s 600
rebels Of the 9Th and 9th Alabama cavalry. nm
der Gen. Clanton.
An engagement ensued and ragged for about
five hours, when the Sth Indiana cavalry, nm
der Major Graham, having crossed the river,
attacked them In the rear and routed them,
Capt. Abercrombie, Clanton's chief of staff.
and Capt. Moore, Of the rebel army, were
killed, aud Lieut.. Col. Lory and Major Nc.
| Whester, Of the 9th Alabama, with 20 priyates.
were captured.
camp of 700 conscripts was broken I'D at
Talledaga and the men dispersed, 100 being
captured. Two large store-houses filed with
rebel supplies and large quantity of inter, to-.
gether with their depot, were destroyed at Ty-
locouga. The large iron-works were fired. the
furnances and smelting-plt destroyed.
Gen. Rosseau crossed the Tallapoosa river al
stones ferry, where he met body of the enc
my, with whom he skirmlshed, killing a CAPT.
Brown, and taking three commissioned officers
prisoners.
The railroad was first struck at Loochapoka.
on the l7th inst, where the destruction OF the
track began.
The rails were considerably torn up west OF
Loochapoka, at Chewa Station. Here the
rebels, under Clanton, were again encountered,
with J, 800 men, and a fight OF two hours du.
ration ensued. The rebels were totally routed,
leaving forty killed and wounded on the field.
| Col. Morrlson's 9th Indiana cavalry, with their
Spencer rifles, did admirable service. Thence
the command moved eastwardly, destroying all

was captured. Two hundred pounds of bacon,
| five thousand pounds of tobacco, large quan.
tity of whiskey, seven hundred sacks of hour,
and four hundred and fifty bales of cotton were
burned. The command then left for Marietta,
having sklrmished with the rebel cavalry
through the entire route.
Gen. Rosseau reached Marietta safely, bring
Ing In with him 800 horses and mules, which
have been turned over to the quarterm aster's
department.
Among the citizens encountered along the
route there appears to be a great deal of oppo-
sition to JEFF. Davis, and all appeared to be
surprised at the kind treatment extended to-
ward them by the Yankees. Not a private
house was entered, neither did any maraudlng
or pillaging take place during the expedition.
