A Rebel Raid ON Rebel suffers.

An army correspondent of the Raleigh tN.
c. Progress describes raid upon suffers as
follows:
On the night Of the r24th Of December there
was quite an extensive raid made by detach-
ments of men from Generals Perry's, Wilcox's,
and Wright's brigades, amounting to between
five and six hundred men, upon the suffers at
Orange Court House.
One sutler, named A. ScherziDger, lost
nearly $40, 600, about S35, 900 Of which was in
money, some $500 or $500 Of which was in
gold and silver; all of his clothing, even to his
boots, which he had just pulled of. Another
one, A. Grier, lost some $40, 900, which was his
pile; and, OF course, he is now entirely minus.
They also relieved a Oue-arned sutler of about
$1,000.
The provost guard very promptly turned out
to suppress the raiders, and succeeded In doing
so aftsr they had wounded several OF them;
and some say that one OF the number was
killed. have been unable TO learn the WINS
and wherefores OF this attack upon the suffers,

sBoRETARY SEWARD AND THE ENG
LIsH Policy.

A few evenings since some eminent gentle
mon from the CanAdas paid their respects to
Secretary Seward, and very pleasant interview
took place. Secretary Seward, VIC understand,
assured the gentlemen, in substance, that the
action OF the English authorities in regard to
the building Of rams and coanlvances at piracy
within their Jurisdiction was satisfactory that
the feeling between the two governments
was as friendly as could be expected or
desired, but that there is danger that
the governments may be brought into collision
by a set of rascals in English seaports
and trading towns all the way round from the
Cape Of Good Hope to 81. Johns and Halifax,
whose greed for money renders them iusensi-
Bile to their obligations as citizens OF couu.
try friendly to our own. The authorities had
manifested temper and disposition that meets
the approval OF our Government, and the only
thing that Is at all likely to involve the two
nations in war is the lawless acts of British
subjects, or of persons in her Majesty's do
minions, which might possibly lead us into a
conflict much to bo deplored.

is the following;
"That young man on the right, conyersing

former Governor and present Senator Spragu0,
whose recent alliance with the daughter Of the
Secretary OF the Treasury, has added new
lustre to his already enyiablC fame. His por-

Tn. TicL.t-or-Leave Man.

The first representation of Tom TAylor's
famous play, which has had an extraordinary
run in London, the Ticket-ofLeayc Man"
was brought out at Growers Theatre last night
before a very large and interested audience.
The piece is destined TO create a sensation
here, We think, and we would advise all
our citizens to witness It's representation.
It would be hardly fair to criticise the per-
formancc of last Eight in detail, because OF the
scant time for rehearsal permitted 10 the COM
pany before 1t was presented TO the public.
We shall give our impressions of it ere long.
Meanwhile everybody should see II for the les.
son IL teaches, the entertainment It affords and
the illustration il gives Of the rare powers OF
Its author, Tom Taylor, the best playwright in
Of these days.
