Reported Raid on the b. g. o. Railroad.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 20.
The evening edition of the American pub
fishes the following:
The city is full of rumors to-day relative to
a raid on the line of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, but up to the time of going to press,
we have not been able to ascertain anything
definite.
Among the reports is one that New Greek
has been captured by raiders, and that Pied
mont is also in their hands,
We give these reports as rumors, and can
not vouch for their correctness.
New Creek has been for some time strongly
fortified. and If it has been captured, we should
have learned some of the particulars by tele-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.
The rebel ex-General Roger A. Pryor, now
private in the Confederate army, was cap
tured Friday last by the 9Th corps pickets Of
the army OF the Potomac, while attempting to
exchange papers with our pickets. This was
done in retaliation for the recent capture of
Capt. Burbridge by rebel picket, under SINH
lar circumstances. Pryor says Lee has issued
an order for the return of Burbridge on Sat-
urday and he will probably be returned as soon
as Capt. Burbridge Is sent back. Since the
capture of Pryor Capt. Burbridge has been
dismissed for disobeying orders. Pryor has
been brought to Washington and committed
to the Old Capitol Prison. -a az 81

Independent Course Of Lectures
ON THE
STATE OF THE COUNTRY,

The course of lectures delivered last winter in
the City Hall on the affairs of the Nation, by
distinguished gentlemen from different sections
of the Union, having been so universally appre-
ciated and sustained by the people; and in accor-
dance with the request of large number of our
citizens, and also in view of the continued dis
turbances with which the country is afflicted, it
is deemed advisable and useful to institute
another series of like character for the coming
winter. &S 1883
1t is believed that by this method Of obtaining
the carefully considered and best thoughts of
able minds from different sections of the Repub-
Lie, not only viii the patriotic life of the people
be quickened, instructed and strengthened, but
that something may thereby be doue to comfort
and mitigate the sutferings Of the sick and
wounded soldiers Of Maine, who have perilled
their lives that the life of the nation might be
preserved. ria
Theproceeds of the course will be devoted to
the benefit Of the ssPortiGnd Soldiers Home
The management Of the course will be under
