The Raid through Alabama.

The teIegaph has briefly spoken Of raid

This raid is to be undor the command OF
Con Rosseau, gala mt Kentuckian.
According to Nashville letter to tho N.

road to Macon and Atlanta, Gun. Ehcrman
hopes TO cut off Montgomery from all con-

Government property at Columbus and
Montgomery may bc destroyed.
Through rebel source, we loarn that this
expedition has already beon successful in
cutting the limos running south Westward

either this cavalry force or that Of General
S,oneman.. may succeed in forcing our off.

rumors OF rebel movements in the Shen-

counts of a disaster TO our forces under

were the deaths Of Generals Kelly, Averill

ascertained are that General Averill. after
his successful encounter with Eariy's
forces, had pursued them to the mountains
beyond Winchester, where Early made
a stand, and after heavy fighting on Sat.
utday and Sunday, the rebels in the mean
time having been reinforced, Averill was
compelled 10 fall back to Harper's Ferry
bringing with him the forces at Bunker
Hill, and causing also the evacuation o
Marlinsburg. The rebels pursued. and
yesterday afternoon, occupied Martins
burg, where they cut The telegraph wires
and commenced destroying the track o
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Ou

could obtain, are now concentrated a
