.
RUNAWAY YoUTH.-0flcer De Witt, o
Sle Depot Police, on Saturday received {
dispatch from Pataskala, ordering him tc
arrest young man of about twenty, whose
description was given as being about six
feet high. He was said to be in company
with another young man about the same
age and description. De Witt found the
parties, and was just about to arrest them,
when an old citizen Of Pataskala appeared,
at sight of whom one of the siX-footers in
continently fled. The Pataskala man fol-
lowed in pursuit, and the race became an
exciting one.
The runaway six footer was finally head
ed off by another chap who started from
freight house. Tire old man coming up
gave the man who captured the runaway a
dollar for his trouble and then collared the
six footer who proved to be the old mans
son, and hauled him to the depot. 1t then
transpired that the youth twenty years old
and six foot high, ran away from the pater-
nal roof without money or his daddys con-
sent, and that the old gentleman wanted
him to return home, in order that IL he
must runaway he would have clean shirt
and money enough with him to keep him
out of mischief. tt..t

Rebels mnlkine their way homes.
Military ChanpnS.

WASHINGTON, July 1G.-The Star Extra
says force of rebel raiders, numbering be-
tween $50 and 500, passed through Little
Washington, Sperryville and Creighers-
vile on Thursday night, on their way to-
ward Madison Court House and Gordons-
vile. They had 150 horses with them and
rs prisoners, who were mounted upon cap
tured horses which were led by the rebels.
The rebels passed Creighersvile about s
o'clock, and half an hour afterwards a
a small force of Union cavalry from the
west, who crossed the Shenandoah about
Conrad's Store, made their appearance at
the same place and proceeded after the
rebels.
The latter gave out that they were making
their way to Gordonsville, and thence to
Richmond. They seemed to be in hurry,
having received information that Sheridan
was between them and Richmond, with a
large cavalry force, smashing things gener-
ally. This rebel gang was doubtless the
part of the rebel force lately operating in
Maryland.
Gen. McCook, Gen. Payne and Gen.
Doubleday have been relieved from duty in
the Department of Washington. General
McCook will report to the Adjutant Gener-
al for instructions, and Generals Doubleday
and Payne will resume their positions on
general court martial.
Gen. Hadden has been ordered to resume
the command of his division garrisoning
the defenses of Washington north of the
Potomac.

From the Front.

New YORK, July lG.-The Times corres-
pondent in front of Petersburg OH the 14th,
says the arrangement between the Fifth
corps and the enemy in it's front to stop
skirmishing while doing picket duty, is a
great relief to the men on both sides, who
are enabled to walk leisurely about. The
enemy are constantly making new works
and strengthening old ones. Deserters are
constantly coming in.
Senators Wilkinson. Chandler and Sprague
are on visit to the army.
There was great joy inside the rebel lines
perhaps at the Maryland raid. They are
greatly mistaken if they expect Grant to
release his death grasp on the throat of the
rebellion.
Dispatches from Buffers headquarters
say the rebels continue to fire on transports
from moving rifled battery. Our gun
boats follow the battery and shell it. Other
wise all is quiet.

A Raid on the Enemy.

New YORK, July 16-The Herald's cor
respondent gives an account of marine
raid as follows:
NEAR POINT OF Rocks, Va July 13, 4
A. Mon Monday, the 11th, Lieut.. Cham
hers, Sd Pennsylvania Artillery, with 13O
men, crossed the James river at point be-
low Inlet Gap, and above Gen. Fosters
pontoon bridges, for the purpose of attack
ing force of rebels stationed in some mills,
barns and houses situated on place known
as Cox's farm. The force having landed at
the designated point below Inlet Gap, from
Steame's Stepping Stone, remained there
until nearly daylight yesterday morning,
at which time the commanding Lieutenant
determined to make an attack. The COM
mand proceeded quietly up the road i'm
two columns, and stealthily entered upon
the attack. The enemy was found in strong
force in the barn, mills and houses of the
farm. They consisted of 300 troops, COM
manded by Lieut.. G.. w. Harrington, of
South Carolina, who was captured.
When our forces had advanced within one
hundred and fifty yards of the buildings,
the enemy opened brisk fire with mus
kerry, resulting in no injury. When the
discovery was made that the place could
not be taken by regular attack, Lieutenant
Chambers ordered charge, he himself
leading it most gallantly. The charge re-
suited in the capture of one Lieutenant, n
seargent (badly wounded), one corporal
and eleven privates. The command was ac-
companied by q firing party, which upon
arrivingat the buildings smoked out the
rebels, compelling them to give battle on
open ground In the engagement which
Immediately followed, the rebels suffered
severely in killed and wounded. Our loss
was only one man. A torpedo, together
with a galvanic battery, and large guam
tity of powder, small arms, ammunition
and camp equipage, was captured. A large
amount of grain, grist and saw mills, and
machinery was DESTROYED.
