e days. Wednesday and Thursday the enemy's batteries on the left shelled our works on the Chesterfield side of the Appomattox for an hour or so, and threw a good many bombs from their mortars, but accomplished nothing. It was reported here yesterday that a fight had taken place at Petersburg on the previous night, during which we had captured a thousand prisoners. The story was without foundation. One hundred and nine prisoners, including a captain and two lieutenants, belonging to Warren's column, and captured by General Hampton near Bellfield, were brought to this city last evening. The raid into Southwestern Virginia--the salt works Considered safe. The raiding column which, on Wednesday, burst into Southwestern Virginia, are still in motion, having met with no check.

Stoneman, if he be indeed, as we think, commander of the raiders, has also discovered that his sudden irruption into Southwestern Virginia was not entirely unexpected by our military authorities, although he did catch the citizens and railroad people asl

Stoneman, if he be indeed, as we think, commander of the raiders, has also discovered that his sudden irruption into Southwestern Virginia was not entirely unexpected by our military authorities, although he did catch the citizens and railroad people asleep. We hope he will find this out to his cost before he gets through with his raid. It has only been a few months since a previous raid of his, begun under quite as auspicious circumstances as this, was brought to a disgraceful conclusion by himself and most of his men being made prisoners. A similar fate may again be in store for him. From Savannah. We have no news from Sherman which was not published yesterday. He has captured Fort McAllister and invested Savannah on the south and west. No fighting has yet occurred.

Information was received here yesterday that the main body had left the railroad at Glade Spring and started towards the salt works, six miles distant; and that the smaller party, previously mentioned, had passed Marion and were advancing on Wytheville, which is fifty-five miles this side of Abingdon. The object of this party is, doubtless, to break up the railroad, and thereby prevent reinforcements from being sent from the east to our troops at the salt works. They will, of course, destroy as much property as possible along their route. The main body, who moved on the salt works, have, by this time, we think, discovered that position is safe from their attack; for we are glad to be able to state that it is held by a first-rate general and an abundance of troops to hold it agains

annah, and had cut off the most important routes of supplies for the troops that were hastily assembling in the defence of the city. "the tomb of Washington in the hands of guerrillas." Such is the heading of a Yankee plaint over the lost opportunity for making some odd dimes by showing the tomb of Washington to curious strangers. A letter from Alexandria says: In one respect, three years of war have made no difference in this vicinity, so far as guerrillas are concerned. In 1861, it was deemed unsafe to go from Alexandria to Mount Vernon, and there is the same danger now. The guerrillas are very bold around here, frequently coming to within five miles of the city limits; and if a courier is met by them on any of the high roads, he is unceremoniously robbed, though seldom receiving bodily harm unless resistance be made. The farmers in the vicinity have lost heavily in their stock, these rebel robbers having a great predilection for all the horses they can lay their
