Effects of the raid.

--Some of the Union people who fell into the hands of their Yankee friends on the occasion of Averill's raid in Western Virginia, were effectually cured of their treasonable propensities by the treatment they met with. One Union man named Wolf, in Alleghany, whose property was not respected by the freebooters under Lincoln's banner, is ready to bushwhack his former champions. One defenceless widow, who protested her unwavering Unionism, and alleged in corroboration that her sons were deserters from the Confederate army, on pleading with the vandals to leave her one horse to ride to mill, was met with the reply, "Ride your d — d cowardly sons to mill!"
