a Raider On asts owa Eseek.

We have road Of = solitary Kentucky rifsman
who fought through the battle Of New Orleans
s'on his own hook" bus until yesterday, We
never heard of 8 raid being conducted on the
same principle Of individual enterprise snd re-.
spoRsibility. We learn that Private Flank
Hieginbothsm of company B, (Capt HSzsard'sl
4ah regiment Georgia cavalry, left Bell Point
picket on Thursday last, and proceeded alone in
3 small boat to St Simon'g iGisld Aa-be sus

way negro and rascal, formerly owned in this
city, belonging to q citizsn OF Glynn county.

qualntsd with the locality, stated that be wishsd

miles below in 81. Simon's sound. BE was IL
formed BY Nat that a bost from the blockader
visited the island twice a weak for vegetables,
and that be would have to wait 8 day or two,
when It would MAKE its Rexs trip. Higginb0th-

lions in the meantime. On Saturday he pre-
vsiled on Nat to go with him 20 the beach 70
hunt turtle eggs. Nst went with his prisoner,
carrying with him a doubls.bArrsed gun.
While on the beach looking for eggs, our daring
raider managed to get possession OF Mats gun.
Taking = favorable opportunity, hs shot Nat,
killing him dead. He then returned to the
house and fred on the negro Harvey breaking
his thigh. Alter dispAtching him with 3 blow in
the head with an axe, he conveyed the bodies Of
the two negroes to q batteau, and eolisctins
such spoils as we're At hand, set sail for the
camp Of his company, where he arrived about
noon on Saturday. BE brought With him, be.
sides the bodies Of the negroes, three guns, three
valuable saddles, fifty pounds of coffee, .ssd
some hundred and fifty dellArs in specie and
greenbscks, with other articles Of value.
The negroes were notorious r~Aseals, who had
eommitssd$many murders and robberies. Nat,
besides stealing some seventy 20 a hundred ne
groes from the sescoast counties, was the muir
derer of Mr. s. S.. Aiken, of Wayne county,
and also Messrs. Palmer aud Davis, highly re-
spectacle c~ihEens, and we believe members of
Capt. Hazards cavalry.
We understand that tho hero of this bold, and
under sll the circumstances OF the case, we think
perfectly jastiiAble adventure, is q youth of
only some nineteen yesrs Of age. He deserves
the thanks of the people Of the seabosrd for rid-
ding them of two dangerous spies, EnurdereTs,

We learn the following from Gen. William
eooy Smiths command, by passengers who
reached this city last evening on the HtaamsT
Hannibal: Having landed at Sunny Side on
6lh,'the command took up march early Ia the
morning, under heavy rain, in the direction Of

About 9 O'Clock tire advance met the enemy,
two regiments strong, posssa upon tia opposite
bank of q bayou emptying into tbs lake. OBan-
ing FIRE upon the elemy's line with Two pieces
of artillery, they fell back to q seSond position
on Ditch bayou, leaving an open field between
our lines and our force. Two guns Of the 81
Indiana battery we're again opened upon their
line, which WAS responded 70 by the enemy
with = battery Of six guns. The intervening
distance between the two lines at this tims was
about half 3 mile, The guns Of the enemy hay
ing a % excellent range After an artillery duel
of some minutes, Onr forces desisisd from the
use of their guns, aud advanced under heavy
Are upon the enemy's lines, driving them from
their second position. Upon retiring, tbs enemy
took up 8 line Of march 10 8 westerly direction,
leaving the lake in their rear. Our forces did
not cross Ditch bayou in pursuit, but withdrew
after the disappearance of the enemy.
TIL engagements lasted about an hour, oar
loss being twenty-eight killed and seventy
wounded. and the enemy lost about equal. Our
forces suffered most in crossing the open field
ia the final assault, Being under a constant Ere
both of artillery and NAL arms. The Two regi-
ments FIRST met by our sdvancs were supposed
to be Col eray's brigade of MaTmaduke's com

present.
BrigadisF- General Mower had bis horse shot
twice while leading bis men upon tho snemy's

g. 49,
There are those who complain that G srsort
Butler has not accomplished sl that We ~,
Dscted of him in his movement up the -
river. a glance at tho history Of his opeT.
Will serve 20 convince the impartial that az
not emily lone ell that was reasonably to
peeted, but, under the circumstances, eeem
mora. -
It must be borne in mind that ths original
plan agreed upon between Butler sRd Grant
previous 20 the movement against Lee, has bsen
considerably changed. Grant certainly did not
anticipate such a stubborn and long resistance
upon the part of the rebels, and Batter expected
to be considerably reinforced before making any
very FERROUS demonstration upCn Petersburg or
he rebel cspital. Rsinforcsments intended
originally to be sentsto Butler, were sent from.
PoFt Royal, Virginia, 60 ill up the broken ranks
Of GraDPa brave army after is gallant struggle
at the Wilderness. And in addition 90 thig,
a heavy column was sent from Buffers CON-
msnd under Gen. Badly Smith, tor a similar
purpose.
This left Batter with a comparatively smsl
force; too mail to have done mere thsn hold bis
own at Bermuda Hundreds. Il may be ques,
tiOnabls whether hs could even hsvs done 50
had he not improved the tune prior to sending
the force under Smith away in making bis posi-
ton SO strong that the enemy would not yontuTs
10 attack him. Butler, however, has not only
held his own, but nj Z the rehels sensible OF
bis presence. He oceupR s6aRntion of the
larger part of the fOTcs undeT BeSuregsrd, snd
kept it from rendering sHy assistance 10 Lse
while Grant was driving him from one position
to Another; and it vas only whsa the column
sndeF Gen. Smith had gone to reinforce Grant
that BsxuregaTd wss able to send any relief TO
his cuiaf.
Phs late movement upon Petersburg shows
that Butler net only has the wisdom to plan,
but the energy and will to execute. So far As
the plan Was concerned, and the charsciSr oSthe
orders given, everything seemed to insure the
capture of tie city. That these orders were lot
stricty carried out is no evidenes of Buffers in
capacity. Had General KsVlz bean Propssly
supported by infantry, there does not sesn to
be any doubt bat that Petersburg would now be
in our possession.
Whenever Butler has besn attacked he has
the enemy handsomely, and it map be
sAfely said ne hiss put at least ten Thousand of
the rebels hors da combat -PhA lac.
