It is plain that he has utterly destroyed the Tebels’ means of carrying om war on any con- siderable scale between the Mississippi and the Alabama rivers—an achievement of the first strategic importance; while he has also @eprived the rebellion of the aid of thousands of colored men who were up to that time labor- ing virtually to sustain it, They will hence- forth labor to aid in the rebellion’s suppression” of course. The raid of Grierson and Smith also, though mot so thorough as was designed, (through | ' are restored, provided the vacancies have not Smith's obstinacy and ignorance of the country, the western papers Assert,) was eminently a success. They, too, destroyed everything in their way likely to be of service to the rebellion, j ‘and also brought off thousands of contrabands. Their losees, though they had a dozen severe battles, were nct a tithe of what the Richmond | Papers guessed them to be—while they claim atleast three out of every four of their daily | occurring engagements to have been substantial victories. 4A BOGUS MAJOR.

THE MxanING or I7.—Yesterday’s extréor- dirary rise in the price—comparative yalue— of gold is of course due to the apparent success of the Hon.

The condition of the dis- trict is peaceful and harmonious. The official | character of the President was then passed. to deteat the suppression of the rebellion—far | more—than can be done by the enemy in the field.

From the Richmond Whig of the Sth instant, we clip the following relative to the disposition of Col. Dablgren’s body, and the Lynch law feeling erteitained in Richmond towards our men captared : “The body of Col. Ulric Dahlgren, killed in the swamps of King and (Queen, by the “th Virginia cavalry, was brought to the city Sun- day night and iaid at the York River depot during the greater part of the day yesterday, where large numbers of persons went to see it. It was in a pine box, clothed in a Confederate shirt and pants, and shrouded in a Uonfeder- ate blanket. The woocen leg had been re- moved by one of the coidiers. It was also no- ticeatle that the little finger of the left-haad had been cut off. Dahlsren was asmall man, thin, pale, and with red hair aad a goatee of the same color. His face wore an expression | of sgony. “About 2 o'clock p.m., the corpse was re- moved from the d-pot and buried—no one knows, or is to know, where.” The Richmond W hig Rampant on the Re- cent Kaid. A striking feature ot the late Yankee raid is the disproportionate number of officers among the prisoners who have fallen into our hauds. So far the number ot officers registered at our prisons is said to be about one to every ninety sivates, From the feeble show of fight made y the raiders, and the great success with which their officers have made good their es- cape, the presumption may be well founded that the latter felt special apprehension of summary vengeance upon any of them whose fate it should be to fall into our hands. It is suspected that many ot them, after the failare of their undertaking became apparent, assumed the garb of privates, in the hope that greater leniency might be meted by us tv prisoners of the latter class. But from the character of the expedition, as explained by the papers found On the body of Col. Dahizren, we can see no just ground for discrimination between the officers and privates engaged in it. Violating the laws and usages of civilized warfare, and the regulations by which they are themselves governed, itappears that judgment and sen- tence were already passed by themselves be- fore setting out, against any of their number who should chance to fall into our hands, The Whig also says: ‘Four Yankee negro soldiers, captured in James City county, were bronght to this city yesterday and delivered at the Libby, where they were distributed as far as they would go, into the solitary cells of the Yankee officers captured during the recent raid.
