The Spoils of a raid.

--A correspondent of the Atlanta Confederacy, writing from Headquarters Morrison's Cavalry, London, Tennessee, Oct. 31st, says:

Major Stainback, A. Q. M, of this brigade (Morrison's) has just reached us. He was with the late raiding party around Rosecrans's rear. He says that at every house he passed in North Alabama and Georgia, a woman would ran to the door and say, ‘"Hilloa, mister, have you got anything to sell?"’ He says that the men had dozens of hoop skirts hung over their horses' necks and were completely loaded down with all kinds of women's goods.
