THE PENINSULA Radcliffe excitement with
reference to the enemy's raid on the Peninsula
has subsidized since the facts with reference to the

its origin, we are inclined to believe, in attempts
which made by the Yankees to intercept
some parties from this city who had purchased a
lot Of hogs in Gloucester and King and Queen
counties, and were bringing them to Richmond
They were informed upon by some traitor, who
went into the enemy's camp, and three gunboats
and a company of cavalry were sent up the Pamun-
key after them, but they had succeeded in cross
ing with their hogs, and had them safely away
from the river before the boats arrived Rich

Another Fight on Cosby Capture Of Br'Sudter
General Vance.
Some days since General Vance with part of
LHenrys Battalion and few men from Thomas
Legion, started towards Severvile, Tenn. At
Gatlinsburg he left his artillery and all his men
but about 100, dashed into Seviervie, and cap
tured Yankee train Of II wagons, with the team
sters and wagon masters. Six hundred Yankee
cavalry were encamped six miles below town, to
whom information was of course promptly commu-
.uicated OF what Gen. Vance had done. In the
meantime Gen. V. pushed off towards Cosby with
his prize, stopping at Shuts Mill about hour,
having seat courier ordering the at Gatlins-
burg to meet him there This they failed to do,
stating that the route inpractcable for artil-
lery. .At the end of about hour, and while
Gen Vances entirely off their guard,
the Yankees swept down upon Them taking them
completely by surprise. A running fight ensued,
scattering in every direction, aud making
stand wherever few of them could get together.
Gen Vance rallied little squad, and after an in
sefectual resistance against overwhelming numbers,
was captured, with his Inspector General, Captain
Lucius H. Smith; and about 80 others. Major
Charlie Roberts in the affair, was also DIR.
w Fl. Murdoch, but escaped, with many others.
The Yankees recaptured their wagons, and also
ambulance and about fifty horses from General
Vances command
Col Henry, with his cavalry and artillery, work
ed his way through'fhe mountains, and passed over
the battle ground the next day, and most Of the
information in regard to the capture of Gen Vance
be obtaiped from people living on the spot The
Yankees did not tarry long, but pushed off rapid
ly as possible.
These substantially the facts gathered
from the information received here by Col Palmer,
Of this unfortunate affair.
