Yankee raid into Northumberland.[correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.] Camp Grigg Caroline Co., Va., February 25, 1863. The almost incessant rains and snows have rendered the roads impassable in many places. A citizen has just arrived in camp from Northumberland county and reports that on Wednesday last the Yankee cavalry made a raid down on the Northern Neck, in search of the conscripts and enrolling officers.
