TuE Rors EAU RAID.


Gen. Rousseau, in command OF 2,!D
Federal cavalry started for Decatur, Ala,
on the 10Th inst, on raid, the object Of
which was to destroy the bridges and break
up the railroad connecting Columbus, Ga,
with Montgomery, Ala. The distance to be
travelled cannot be much less than a hun
dred miles, and the line cf the route is one
which has heretofore been untrodden by
Federal troops. After destroying the road
aud bridges alluded to, Roeseau was To en-
deAvor to Join Gen. Sherman on the Chaita-
hoochee river.
The expedition thus undertaken Ia bold
one, and il fraught with difficulties. We
are not, therefore, surprised to learn that
the officers attached to the expedition left
Nashville with the idea that they might be-
come inmates OF Southern prison, and
very prudentiy arranged their attAirs ac-
cordingy.
