THE RAIDERS.
As the raiders advanced upon their
line Of CONTEMPLATED operations, and be-
come hourly further removed frem us,
we h-ar Iess.of their movements. There
is no doubt that they Contemplated the
effeetual destruction ofthe Dan vile Rail-
road, and at the time this is writteR the
latest We get from them is up to Friday
night, when they we're scattered from
Green Bay to the Meherrin. The latter
locality is about six miles from Burk-
vile junction, and tie former g station
on the Danville road, distant ten miles
from the Junction. lnar W sffgH
Our cavalry who went in pursuit la
bored under serious disadvantages The
raiders, having the start, stole..all the fresh
horses they could find, while our men
we're compelled 10 do the best they eould
with the horses upon which they started
We are pleased to hear, however, that
the thieves and house burners have not
been allowed to go thhsfar altogether nm
punished. Oar forces, by grsat.exertion,
succeeded in reaching q portion of the
vandals near Nottaway Courthouse on
Thursday, and immediately gave them
battle. A hot fight cnsued, which was
continued fron two o'clock until dark,
when night closed the contest The
enemy wins serverely punished, and re-
treated under the cover Of darkness. We
we're greatly outnumbered and short of
ammunition, but these inequalities we're
made up for by consciousness, OF the
justice Of our cause. At enc time we
heard the enemy gained the advantage
and had possession Of three pieces Of
artillery, bat Colonel Barringsrs gallant
North Carolinians, aided by few com
paniss Of Virginians, uader General
Dearing, proved equal to the emergency,
and by bold charge rescued the pieces
We killed and wounded large numhsr
of the enemy, if prisoners taken are to
be believed, and captured thirty-four, all
of whom have been received in Peters
burg. They represent Sd New York,
22d New York and 5th Peunkylvania.
