NEWSPAPER ACCOUNT.
From the Cincinnati Commerc:al.l
The south-West virginia Raid.

From the bold and dashing manner Ill
which the recent expedition under Ger
erals Burbridge, Stoneman and Glllem,
from Kentucky through Cumberland
Gan. thence into Southwest Virginia
was conducted, and the ease with which
General Breckenridge was sout-generaled,
there has probably been failure to ap-
preciate the hardships and difficulties
that had to be encountered. That Zen
eral Burbridge should have turned up
at the mouth of the Big Sandy River, ON
the Ohio, and thence communicated to
Washington, of his grand achiey-
ment, was truly startling. We
had the pleasure last evening OF
a call from Major Moderwell and
Surgeon Hunt, of the 18th Ohio, couple
of officers who were i'll the expedition
by whom we were furnished with few
interesting incidents. The commands
composing the expedition were hastily
gathered up in Kentucky and marched
with surprising rapidity, and still more
surprising secresy, across that pairen
route through Cumberland Gap, and dl-
rectly upon the position Of the enemy

and made them nominally rich. The
shabby-looking stuff was banded about
with profuse liberality.
On their return through Pound Gap q
great portion of the command, partieu-
farly the negroes, suffered terribly from
the severity of the weather, and the
scarcity of food. Parched corn was the
main dependence for the latter, and III
the long distance tramped over-horses
having to q great extent, given out-by
men whose feet had become frozen, ana
who in many instances, were without T
shoes, they literally left their, tracks Oh

thrown into hospital by the etfects OF the

sufferers who got through were piaeeo

struggle, despite this prejudice against
slavery, has won for our people the an
disguised admiration of the world, but
has not and will not mollify that preju-
dice, or dispose the nations to recognize
US with slavery, as they understand our
cause, the cornerstone of our system.
NwHAT THE WORLD MUST BIZ CONVINCED

y If We would reap the rich blessings to
which our heroic struggle entities US, if
we would crystalize that admiration into
acts Of aid and comfort, we must con-
vince the world that We are fighting for
the selfgovernment of the whites and
not for the slavery of the blacks that the
war has been forced upon us by our en-
envy, for the purpose of spoliation aud
subiugation; that the freedom OF the ne
gro was no part of the purpose of our Gu
envy, but that commercial vassalage and
dependence prompted and inpelled this
cruel war.

that we are fighting for the self-govern-

Press DISPATCH i


NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The Herald gives
complete history of the Dutch Gap
canal 1t was commenced in August last,
and upIto the day of the explosion of the
bulkhead three regiments Of white and
colored troops were detailed for the
special work, averaging from one hun
dred and twenty to one hundred and
forty men employed dailHan an average
of ten hours. The canal is five hundred
and twenty-five feet long, and the great
est width of the excavation is one hum
dred and twenty-five feet, and the depth
forty-fve feet The width of the canal
proper is sixty-six at the top and forty
five feet at the bottom. At high water
there will be a depth of sixteen feet
From these facts SONS idea may be
formed ofthe immensity of the work.
Supposing that the canal, in conse-
quence Of the heavy batteries bearing
upon it, cannot be completed at present,
the work, as far as it has been carried, is
80 much gained in an enterprise which,
when it shall be completed, will always
he of incalculable importance tothe COM
mercial interests of Richmond. The OK
plosion of the bulkhead of the canal on
the lst inst, was witnessed by large
number Of officers, and strong body of
troops under arms to be ready for emer-
gencies.
The Tribune's Army of the James spe-
cial says: Dutch Gap Canal is regarded
as a complete success. the result OF the
explosion in the bulkhead being all that
was expected A dredging machine will

NEW YORK, Jan 5.-The Herald's cor
respondent gives full account OF the re-
cent important raid through East Ten
nessee and Southwestern Virginia OF Gen
erals Burbridge and Gillem. The injury
effected by it to the rebels was immense,
and is to them probably irreparable-
The lead mines, salt works, fifty founda-
ries and furnaces, 100 miles of railroad
Is locomotives, 300 cars and vast
amount of other property Of the rebels
were destroyed and 20 pieces of artillery

The Savannah correspondent of the
World hints that Sherman will march
first ON Augusta, and then to the rear Of
Charleston, when, with Dahlgren in front,
he will lay siege to the stronghold. Dis
patches captured on a rebel soldier di-
yulged the intention to send the rebel
rams out of Charleston harbOr at once,
thus taking advantage of the absence of
our ironclads. This led to promptly
sending all the monitors to Charleston
harbor, where they now are.
The Richmond Sentinel has report,
which it discredits, however, that Price
