hentic in relation to this remarkable raid will be interesting, I will venture to send you a few of the scraps I have picked up. It seems that the enemy struck the Central read at the court house a little before day on Saturday morning, the 24 of May. I have not yet been able to get reliable information in regard to their conduct at that point. The track, however, was but little damaged at this or any other point. From the court house Stoneman led the larger portion of his force to Yanceyville, on the South Anna, thence to Thompson's cross roads, where he established his headquarters. The bulk of the force did not arrive at this place until Saturday night. The day had been spent in pillaging the country between the court-house and the cross roads. They left behind them a squad at every house, and pickets at very short intervals all along the roads. The roads, woods and fields between the South Anna and the Three Chop road was alive with them; they could be seen everywhere

The Yankee raid in Louisa.[Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch] Louisa C. H., May 10, 1863. As your readers are aware, staid old Louisa has recently been rendered a point of thrilling interest. His reads have been thronged with a foe that never trod its soil in force before. --Presuming that any information that is authentic in relation to this remarkable raid will be interesting, I will venture to send you a few of the scraps I have picked up.

Harris, the wife of Gen. Beauregard's chief engineer. This most estimable lady was very harshly treated — had her house broken into, and much of her furniture, &c., broken, and every living thing on the place, save the human beings, killed. At Mr. Woodson Payne's, Col. Wm. Winston's, and Mr. Jas. Thompson's, they behaved nearly us badly.--On leaving the cross roads they killed all the horses and mules that they could not carry off with them. Some two hundred were knocked in the head. The neighborhood will, of course, for some time be intolerable. The narrow escape of Lt. Harmar Gilmer, of the engineer corps, formed one of the most interesting events of the raid.

On Saturday night most of the bridged were barded along the river, and strong guards stationed at all the force. From the best information I can obtain, Stoneman must have had some five thousand horses and six pieces of artillery with him at the cross roads. His entire force consisted of about 8,000 men. It seems that he kept up frequent communication with Hooker. Dispatches were looked for with the gr

It was virally important that the enemy should not capture it. He had also under his charge an engineer wagon. He ran into a large party of the enemy at Mr. Wm Harris's house; he wheeled and spurred at full tilt ever an open field for the bridge; they pursued him hotly for a quarter of a mile, but he cleared the bridge in safety. Hearing that they had left Harris's he crossed the bridge again, and was met by a large party of them, who were going to burn the bridge. The fleetness of his horse enabled him to elude them. He had scarcely gotten out of their clutches, however, before he was seen and pursued by another party near the river bank. Coming

It seems that he kept up frequent communication with Hooker. Dispatches were looked for with the greatest eagerness, and the whole force was once or twice ordered to the saddle, and there awaited the couriers, in order to act immediately upon the news they brought. Late Tuesday night a dispatch came which seemed to cause great confusion. Pickets and stragglers were hastily called in, the whole force mounted and dashed over South Anna bridge, and burning it behind them have not been seen since. They did not take away more than fifty negroes, consi
