Another raid into North Carolina.


The North Carolina papers contain the following dispatches indicating the progress of the new raid which is being made into the interior of that State.

Goldsboro' July 27.-- Gov. Vance. The following dispatch just received here, at half past 10 o'clock this morning, from Maj. Venable, at Rocky Mount:

Rocky Mount, July 27--Reliable news from Col. Martin, at Hamilton, represents that the Yankees are advancing from both Plymouth and Washington, their destination no doubt being Weldon via Fort Branch. Their force is said to be three thousand, from Plymouth, and four pieces artillery. The force from Washington not known.

(Signed) T. Brown Venable,
Jas A. J Bradford.

The enemy certainly Advanced

Dr. Covey, Medical Director for North Carolina, has kindly placed at our disposal the following dispatch from Dr. Scott, the Surgeon in charge of the hospital stores at Tarboro'

Wilson, July 27
--Medical Director D. N. CoveyShall I remove the hospital stores, &c. The enemy are advancing in force from Plymouth and Washington.


From this and the dispatch to Gov. Vance there is but little room to doubt but the enemy are advancing in some force, and we have but little doubt but they will be met and driven back.

Goldsboro' July 27--Maj. J. B. Houstern and Capt. Wm. B. Avery, of the 1324 New York, were captured on Saturday by the scouts of the 6th North Carolina cavalry, nine miles from Newbern, and arrived here this morning. They were on a pleasure excursion. A horse and buggy were also captured.
