From Rebel Sources.

The Lynchburg papers of Monday and Tues.
day bring us some of the details Of the raid
through the upper country, which, in view of
the fact that Sheridan has communicated with
Grant from Columbia, we conceive ii to be pu~
Grille to withhold, and therefore lay them be-
fore our readers. The Virginian says: The
Yankee division sent in that direction followed
the Alexandria Railroad as far US Buffalo riv-
er, burning the railroad bridge at that point.
Every bridge between Charlottesville and
Buffalo, distance of more than forty miles,
has been destroyed, and much of the track
torn up, though the extent Of the damage has
not been ascertained. The nearest approach
they made to Lynchburg was New GLASGOW,
seventeen miles distant, where small party,
of them burned the railroad depot. On last
Wednesday, party estimated at from 1000
to 5000, appeared at Bent Creek, supposed to /,
be making for the southside of james river.
The fine bridge over the river being burnt ON
their approach, they contented themselves with
loud curses upon our reserves, who were sta
toned on the other side of the river. They
burnt boat of the James River Company at
Bent Creek. They had captured four of our
scouts, who were left in the hands of an equal
number of their troops who, being cut off
from the main force BY the burning Of the I've
River bridge, gave up to their priis-
oners, and were brought to this city The
raiders burned every mill they could find along
James River, destroyed all tobacco and tobac-
co houses, & carried off all horses and negroes
they could lay their hands upon They shot
about three hundred of their broken-down hor-
ses on the plantation of W. r. Cabell, below
New Market, and took off all the horses be-
longing to that gentlemen they could find.
1t is said that three hundred Yankees
crossed the river opposite Columbia OF, Friday,
but retreated to the north side The Repubii.
can of to-day says the raiders commenced at
Bent creek the work of destruction to the ca
nal which is reported to be very badly dam
aged from about twenty-five miles below here
to Columbia, and possibly further down toward
Richmond. Every lock on the canal is said to
have been destroyed In several places the
banks have been blown away. The aqueduct
at Columbia is said to be badly damaged. The
destruction of private property along the route
of the raiders is represented to be immense.
The people were stripped of horses, negroes,
and meal and bread, and many were left with
out morsel of food

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL present
military condition and successes, with their in
auence on the British markets and opinions
of British statesmen, have at length finally
unsettled the markets. for both gold and pro
ductions of all kinds in New York, as we learn
from recent and reliable intelligence the lat
ter following the course of the former, in its
Decline as it did in its advance. In addi-
ton to commercial commodities, foreign ex-
change has also given way, all of which tends
to an equalization of coin and currency, indi-
eating an early resumption of specie payments
- gea- the grave and final resting place of
the worst fabric of speculation, which the late
state of things in this country SO successfully
though unfortunately produced. The first
fruits of this new era will be proportionate
reduction in the prices of all the commodities
of life, and return of the precious metals to
this country, from the source to which they
have been exported the first shipment,
amounting to $l30,000, having been already
received at Boston, Mass. The reaction which
VIC now announce, is esteemed to be perma-
nent, and has already, as it will hereafter,
both in the United States and Great Britain,
prove the grave of many mercantile and mon
etary firms, numerous cases in both countries
having already been reported. This new state
of things when it shall more perfectly 60 into
operation, will necessarily tighten the money
market, put up the charges on loans, and final
ly block the way on all houses holding over
large stocks, and without due care draw from
them unrelentingly, sums far beyond what
we're realized in their advance. The true pol
icy therefore is, for all carrying large stocks,
whether of coin or merchandise, to realize at
reduced rates, and eXtrcate themselves from
all all Indebtedness. Past experience indi-
Gates this to be the only proper course under
the circumstances, but whether or not business
men will consent to do so, is a matter of little
moment; circumstances, cause and effect, are
straoger than human ,cill, to which all must
finally submit; resistance can but increase
the difficulty, while concilitary course, bear
ing to the inevitable laws of trade, will great

A@. Our readers will probably recollect
that we sometime since published a statement
of most mysterious murder of a portion Of
the family Of one Mr., Roosa, living near Nor
row: the head of the family at the time being
confined in a .hnatic asylum the murder be
ing charged to:a deserter, who was subsequent
ly discharged In this connection one of oul
exchanges reports as follows: .,. d
"This week one james Shoards, living near
Morrow, was taken up on charge of riot, but
the real cause was a suspicion of his being
engaged in the dreadful tragedy referred to-
He is said to be a man ofvery suspicious char
acter. Mrs. Roosa being in the presence Of
the prisoner, exclaimed, THAT is the murder.
er Of my family He attempted to escape
but was retaken, and is now in custody. 1t rs
stated that about the time of the murder he
had been at the brewery in the vicinity, inquir
ing about the Roosa family"
The effort of the prisoner to effect his es
cape, is doubtless looked upon as additional
evidence of his guilt

sarily so, taking into consideration the many
thousand miles our forces are induced. to

become impatient, but await results with the
assurance that all things are progressing in
