The raiders that came to Richmond. Glen Allen. Henrico co, May 14, 1864. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Owing to travel having been temporarily suspended on the railroad by a portion of the track having been burned by the vandal raiders on Wednesday morning last, it has been somewhat difficult to apprize your readers of said raiders' depredations in these parts, and although in this brief account I must necessarily omit many interesting details, yet enough may be written to prove that the Yankees have lost none of their thieving propensities, or that any one portion of the grand army are more moral or honorable, or braver than their brethren in arms in other sections of the grand campaign. On Wednesday morning, about 5 o'clock, a servant man from Dr John M Sheppard's, residing about a mile from this place, came down breathless with the intelligence that an immense cavalry force (say 15,000 men) were at his master's, and would soon be here, making, by the way, the th

They soon broke open the ice house, containing a quantity of bacon that Mrs Allen had stored there, taking the whole, including some few pieces belonging to the Rev Dr McCabe, and helped themselves incord at her breast, and witness with an anguished heart the repeated defilement of her child, a girl of about seventeen, Mrs Allen estimates her loan in stores, horses, mules, grain, fowls, wood burned, and garden injured, at about $25,000.

Meriwether Winston, a pious and highly esteemed minister of the Baptist Church, after stealing his small supply of family stores. In the meantime, about 6 o'clock P. M., their revels were broken in upon by Gordon's brigade, which appeared in sight, and opened the ball in beautiful style. The Yankees had one Parrott piece at Blackburn's, on the Mountain road, adjoining Mrs Hopkins's; Mrs Allen's house occupying an intermediate position between the two fires. The wretches, regardless of the life of the ladies at Glen Allen, shelled the place; the missiles bursting all around the dwelling, but happily "nobody was hurt." They also occupied Hopkins's and Rowe's houses, firing from the windows.

Providentially, Dr McCabe was in the city attending to his duties, or he too would have had to share the fate of the Rev Mr Winston.
