ET Our usually quiet little town was thrown
into feverish excitement some days ago, by the
news that the Jayhawkers were making prepara
tions to come and rob aud pilsg-. unr citizens
From certain informatons it would appear thai
a gang of mal-factors from Msrmento River
did come within about four miles Of our town
robbing several planters of their horses, arms
clothing &c. Ramer goes on to say That Ozent
Carriere, who commands such another gang a,
Malet did not agree with the other chief in the
projected attack upon our town, and tt1t the
movement is only temporarily postponed
The depredations committed by these desert
ers and their associates are increasing daily in
importance and audacity. Terror extends ovei
the country, and it would seem that every body
is threatened with their rnisdseds.

All the reliable information which has been
acquired relative to General Lees movements
and designs show pretty clearly that he in
tends, not to fall back upon Riebmoad, but to
aWsit tie attack Of General Grants army on
the Rspidan, where he is beirg largely re;B-
forced. His troops are concentrating At Orange
Court House. at which point the preparations
for defense can be distinctly seen from our sig
nal stations.
The runner that Madison Court House was to-
tally burned down BY the Union troops, proves
to be literally trues Il appears ths. the expe-
dition met no rebels until it reached within half
nile Of the place, and after q brief skirmish, in
which the Union forces lost nos man, but FIVE
of the enemy WaIs killed, the latter fell back
into the town, and attempted to defend them
selves from the houses, az bele1gured troops OTd.
naTily do Wbsn a town Is entered By a stSrmiug
party. Not being able to disodZe them by
other means, the UGion soldiers were ordered 20
spply the torch and burn them out. Il was
promptly done. The rebels, Of course, were
compelled to leave, and the whole town, with
all its prope y in mills, churches and fae man
sions, wks given 20 the flames, and hardly q
vestige OF it left.
A eavslry expedition set out from Vienna on
