/ The Raid I'VE learn that letters have been
received in this city from the headquarters of
the Fourth Delaware Volunteers, which state
that on Monday week last that Regiment,
accompanied by the 10Th New York Cavalry,
made a raid of about forty miles into the enc
my's country. They captured twelve pris-
oners, a number of head of cattle snd some
horses, During the raid the Cavalry sepafa-
ted from tho Infantry, to make q reconnois-
sance, and when they returned mistook the
Fourth Delaware for the Rebels and made
an attack on them. The result was that the
| Fourth was compelled to fire into the Cavalry
in order to prevent more serious consequent
ces. The New Workers had one man killed
and four wounded, when the mistake was dis
covered. They returned to Camp at Fairfax
Court House, on Thursday or Friday
