An energetic Raider.

--The Abingdon Virginian notices the return there of Capt. Peter M. Everett, from a raid towards the Ohio river, having brought in 46 prisoners, captured 250 horses, and killed 19 of the enemy. It says:

‘ He marched 105 miles in 29 hours, and fought an hour and a half at Salyersville during the time.--it is horses being worn down by the march, he remounted his whole command on fresh Yankee horses, supplied 40 bare-footed men with shoes, the whole command with new overcoats, destroyed 250 pistols, 400 Enfield rifles, $500,000 worth of property, and killed 19 men. He then proceeded to Jackson, on the Kentucky river, destroyed $200,000 worth of packed pork, and saved the Yankees the trouble of slaughtering 200 hogs, and all without the loss of a man, and only two wounded.
