t a man survives. Further from the raiders. A gentleman who reached here last night direct from Ford's Depot informs us that the destruction of the vandals in that vicinity was very great.--From the 14 mile post, six miles below, to some distance above the depot, the telegraph poles have been cut down, the wire destroyed, the railroad track torn up and the iron burnt and bent. Several citizens in the vicinity suffered heavily. Mr. Wm H Beasley was stripped of every article of value; M Ed H Osborne lost thirteen horses and mules, six negroes, all his bacon, and half of his corn Mr. John D Pool and Mr. Thacker were also robbed of nearly everything. In their march towards the Junction the Yankees swept the country, burning the depots and court building at Nottoway C H. A dispatch received last night from Rice's, via Lynchburg and Richmond, states that when last heard from the raiders were moving up the Danville road, and were within a few miles of Meherrin Station.

ements of Kautz's raiders since their repulse by Captain Farrinhilt's command. Although the dispatch of Colonel Withers, announcing this success, was dated at Clover Depot, it is believed that the fight took place at Staunton river bridle, a few miles this side. The Yankees are understood to have retreated down the and it is ap prehended that they may cross and tap the railroad at some point in Halifax county. More Vandalism. It is currently reported that the Court-house of Nottoway county, and most of the buildings at that point have been burnt by the enemy. A victory in Northern Georgia. Through the energy of the Signal Corps, the following dispatch from General Joseph E Johnston was received at General Bragg's headquarters yesterday afternoon. From General Johnston's known modesty in announcing a victory, we are at liberty to inform that our arms in Northern Georgia have achieved a decided success. Indeed, the news may be regarded as the glad ladings of a gl

to be making their way back to the main body of the army. Very respectfully, etc., R. E. Lee, General. Christiansville, mentioned in the foregoing dispatch, is in Mecklenburg county, about twenty miles southeast of Staunton river bridge. From Christiansville a road leads due east to Lawrenceville, in Bruns wick county. That the yankees were on their way back to the main body of their army, as surmised by Gen. Lee, seems very probable. In the passage of the enemy through Nottoway they swept the county of horses, mules and negroes. One citizen that we have heard of was, however, exempted from a visit of the Yankees, for which he has ample reason to thank his good fortune.--His negroes behaved in a most commendable manner. When the enemy were known to be approaching, the overseer told the negroes they could go with them if they wished, but if they desired to remain they must hide in the woods, They all declared they would stay, and were the first to propose that all
