Successful and DeatruCtlSe reucFuA
Raid.
Lvnchburs papers of Monday and Tues
day bring US some details of q raid through
the upper country, which, IN view OF the
fact that Sheridan has communicated with
Grant from Columbia, we conceive 1t to
be puerile to withhold, and therefore lay
them before our readers. The TIrgiaid'
saws a Yankee division sent in that direc-
ton. followed the Orange and Alexandria
Railroad as far as Buffalo, burning the
bridge at that point. Every bridge be-
tween Charlottesville and Buffalo, dis
lance of more than forty miles, has been
destroyed. and the extent of damage is
not ascertained. The nearest approach
they made to Lynchburg was New Glas-
gov, seventeen miles distant, where
small party burned the railroad depot.
On Wednesday, small party, estimated
at from two to three thousand, appeared
at Bear Creek, supposed to be making for
the south side of James river. The fine
bridge over the river being burned, on
their approach the enemy contented
themselves with loud and bitter impreca-
tons upon our reserve, who were stationed
on the other side of the river. They
burned the boat of the James River Com
pany, at Bent creek. They had captured
four of our scouts, who were left in their
hands. An equal number of their troops,
who were cut off by the burning OF the
Tar River bridge, gave themselves up as
prisoners, and were brought to this city.
The raiders burned everything they could
find along the James river, destroyed all
the tobacco and houses, carried away all
horses and negroes they could lay their
hands on, shot about three hundred of
their broken down horses on the planta-
ton of W. r. Campbell, below New
market, and took all the horses belonging
to that gentleman they could find. 1t is
said that three hundred Yankees crossed
the river, opposite Columbia, on friday,
but again returned to the north side.
The Republican of to-day says the raid
ers commenced at Bear creek their work
of destruction to the canal, which is re-
ported very badly damaged for about
twenty-five miles below here to Columbia,
and possibly further down towards Rich
mond. Every lock on the canal is report
ed to have been damaged; in several
places the banks have been blown away,
and the aquedGct at Columbia is badly
damaged. The destruction to private
property along the route of the RAIDERS is
represented to be immense. The people
were stripped of horses, negroes, meal and
bread, and many were left without NOR
sci of food.
News from sherman through Rebel
Papers.
The Danville Register, of Wednesday.
says: Our forces are probably withdrawn
from Kinston, and may be preparing to
evacuate Goldsboro.
The Raleigh Standard, of the same date,
says: Fayetteville was occupied several
DAYS since by the enemy in force. 1t is
reported that the cotton factories were
burned. Kinston is now in possession of
the enemy, and Goldsboro is seriously
threatened by them. Our troops have
contested the ground, at various points,
with their accustomed courage and en-
durance. We believe the forces of the
enemy will be met at some point south of
Raleigh.
The Danville Register, of Wednesday,
remarks that the recent movements OF
Sherman and Sheridan have generally de-
creased the number of newspapers pub
lished in Virginia. Daily papers are issued
at Richmond, Lynchburg, Danville and
Petersburg. Here the line gave out.
