ROGER A. PRYOR.
WASHINGTON, Nov. %.
The latest information from the army is
probably that from ex-General Roger A.
Pryor, who was brought hither to-day and
lodged in tho Old Capitol Prison
He was captured last Monday, near
Petersburgh. Several gentlemen who
were present during conversation with
him, say he admitted that Sherman had
captured Macon and Milledgeville and
that there was little if any doubt
from the reported progress he
was making, that he had captured Angus
ia, and would meet nothing to check his
march TO the sesboard, and that with Au-
gusta in his possession, the southwest
would be cut off from Richmond, and no
troops could be sent from Lee to reinforce
Savannah. General Price talked freely
and apparently with frankness, remark
ing that the South now regards General
Sherman with more alarm than any other
officer in the service of the United States,
and that the press of the South would
not be so communicative as heretofore re-
garding Sherman's movements. He un-
derstoOd that it was reported that Sherman
had liberated a number of Union prisoners
and armed them, but the report needed
confirmation.
BALTIMORE, Nov. 20.
THE RAID.
The following are the facts, as far as
gathered, of the raid on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad:
About four o'clock Monday afternoon a
rebel force, estimated at from 1900 to
1000 strong, appeared in front of New
Greek Station, which was defended by a
small body of troops, before esrthworks.
The latter were soon overcome and others
surrendered or fed.
In short time the enemy were in full
possession of the post. They blew up the
esrthwOrEs, and destroyed all temporary
and other buildings excepting the resid-
enee of Colonel Armstrong, who is now, or
has been, in the rebel army. Cutting the
telegraph wires gave the alarm to the
railroad men at Piedmont, wbereupon all
the rolling stock and other moveable pro-
perty was sent off.
Soon after, the enemy reached Piedmont
and destroyed the Railroad house of the
company, large work shop, and consider
able private stationary machinery. So far
as known, no damage was done to the rail-
road track or bridges. The enemy are re-
ported to have left, going in a southwest
ern direction. There is reason TO hope
that the enemy will be overtaken by our
forces.
NEW YoRK, Nov. 29.
FROM THE POTOMAC.
