THE NEW YORK HERALD. WHOLE NO. 10,01). NEWS FROM WEST VIRGINIA. A Passenger Train Captured Near Kearnysville Depot, wnat The Passengers Rebbed ef Money and Vajuables. Whe Perpetrators Supposed to be a Gecab Predatory Band, Oo. ae, oe, Our Baltimore Correspondence. Barrmors, Feb, 18, 1864. ‘The express passenger train which Jeft Camden street station on Thursday night for Wheeling and intermediate peints was captured by a company of raiders when near Kearnyevifle depot, about eight miles west of Harper's Ferry. Jt appears @ switch had been turned, and the usual Bignal—the waving of a lighted lamp—made by the raiders, as the train approached, The eiccal cnused the engineer to stop the engine, The train was then surrounded by the raiders,and a numbor of 1 meo entered the cars. The passengers, among vom, of course, there was great consternation, were \ Jess muleted im the shape of ransom. Some pro- duced greenbacks, others watches, while several reluct- ‘an‘ly gevo diamonds, rings or breastping as equivalents fo; heir peraqnal liberty. iam informed by one of the sufferers, who returned to this city by the express train that reached here from Wheeling at noon yesterday, that tho aggragate amount of money takeu from passengers was not less than $90,000, while the value of the jewelry was also consid- ered large. Conductor Perry, who had charge of the train, it was ftated, was compelied to hand over a check for $4,500, ‘the property of tho railroad company. This, however, ‘Will prove valueless. The fact of the check confiscation ‘was denied yesterday. A number of the passengers who arrived here yester- dsy in the express train had interviews with some of the passengers on the captured train, and their statements widely differed both as to the amount of money, &c., confiscated, and the char. acter of the raiders. Of the former the amount ranged from one thousand to three thousand dollars, while of the latter some were certain that they were persons residing in the neighborhood, while au@ther party, a well known resident of this city, declared that he conversed with one of the muloted passengers, who stated to him that Major Har- ‘vey Gilmor, of the rebel cavalry, was in command of the expedition; that he knew and conversed with him. ‘No one was injured, nor was there the least disposition ‘on the part of the raiders to take any prisoners. Several mombors of tho Maryland State Legislature, dele- gates from the western counties, were among ‘the passengers, but om the occasion are repre- sented to have been quite taciturn as to their official positions. Their greenbacks and watches areraid to have formed s partof the booty. It was alec stated that several Union officers and soldiers wore on the train, but fared no worse than their fellow pas- wongers. After tho raiders accomplished their purpose ‘they ran the locomotive and tender off the track, causing some injury tothe engine. They taen left the train, going through the fields, in the direction of Smitnield, a small villagé in Jefferson county, Va. Although a company of Union troops were stationed within a short distance of the point where the train was stopped, none of the passengers or employes of the road ‘were enabled to get any information to them until all hope of captaring the raiders had vanished. The scene inside the train alter the affair,as stated by an eye- witness, was mournfully ludicrous, As certain of the passengers would bring forth from hiding places various amounts of greenbacks or other valu- ables, which thoy had saved from confiscation, con- gravulations and merrimont would ensue, which, however, were from time to time well balanced by improcations and mournfal annoyocements of loss on the part of others. ‘The whole affair indeed 1s a strange aad novel one. ‘This ig the first time since the war, it ie alleged, that a pas. wenger train has been captured aud robbed. As to who tho raiders really wére, so many various opinions Daye beon expressed that nothing definite can yet be stated on that score, Ie was ‘Wbought by some that it was done by a local predatory band, organized for the purpose of plundering at every ‘opportunity. The fact that no prisoners were taken off ts regarded as arguing rather strongly that they were not rogular rebels, A report was in circulation yesterday that the gdams Express Company had sustained some loss, which was during the evening denied by Mr. Perego, suporin- tendent of the company, who alleged that in the affair the company had lost neither goods nor funds. The line of the railroad where the raid took plane is not in the department under General Lockwood, but in tho department under the com- mand of General Kelley. As regards the injured engine and tender, the railroad employes, with their usual energy, repaired all damages in about three hours, and the detained train, with ite mulcted passengers, arrived jo Cumberland yesterday morning almost on time. All ‘tho passenger and freight trains Tanning a8 usual yesterday afternoon, and it was ‘that a large Union cavalry force bad been placed along the line of the oad, while a similar force bad been sent out in scarch of the raiders. Additional Particulars, It ie now vory strongly suspected that the attack upon ‘the expross train on the Baltimore and Obio Railroad, ten miles east of Martinsburg, the other night, an account of which I bave telegraphed you, was by a gang of robbers and cutthroats from the loyal States, peniteatiary birds, and probably deserting Union soldiers, wbo had no con- nection with tho rebels. The robbery of the affrighted passengers was very general. Not one of them escaped losing something. One man is aid to have lost over four thousand dollars in greenbacks. ‘The passengers made no resistance, supposing they wore surrounded by an overwhelming force of rebels. A good.many of them ttew their watches, jowols'and money away, some of which have since been found. No iusalt was offered to the ladies, and no attempt was made 10 make prisoners; neither was there any eifort to burn or destroy the train, The deed was committed almost io tight of quite a strong Union encampment. All these things look very much as if tho offending party was @ band of robbers Belonging to our own siae. Had they been rebels, the strong probability is ‘that offerte would haye been mado to make all the pas- nengers prisoners,as they aid not kaow but President Lincoln or @ome other distinguished dignitary might have been aboard. No clue has yet been had to the perpetra- tore, of guerillas , as thoy are called, The cars are now running regularly aad undisturbed over the read. ‘Wo have bot jittle ton papore are dry.

JUDGMENT OF THE COURT IN THE CASE OF JAMES RILEY. Fup. 18—-The caso of James Riley, convictea a fow days ago of a violation of the Internal Revenue law, was again before the Court to-day, Riley being jbrought up to receive judgment. Judge Shipman overrujed the points taken by the vrisoner’s counsel, Mr. McKeon, who moved for a new trial, and in a long and elaborate argument reviewed the law bearing upon the case. On concluding he said tho defendant had been convicted of a misdemeanor for car- ying on the business of a retail dealer in liquors without baving taken out a Itconse therefor, as required by the act of Congress, approved July 1, 1862, commonly known as the Internal Revonuo act, and by the amendments to aes approved March 3, 1863. A motion for a new ig Dow made on several distinct ds, which have ‘Deen fully argued. The duty of the Coart now is to pass the sentence. Judge Shipman then passed sentence op the prisoner in the Logg tala | words :— Riley, you have been convicted of carrying on the business of retailing distilled spirits and othor liquors in aatore in this olty without Yering kee. out a license as required by the act of fou have had an im- partial trial, and of the correctness of the verdict of the jury no one who heard the ev: oe can have any doubt. ‘ne statute under which you have been convicted leaves it discretionary with the Court to impose a fine upon you or direct you to be imprisoned for the space of nt more than t) given your case much thought, and, as the law reposes such a large dis- cretion in the Court, I have been anxious to ex- ercise it in that spirit and manner which will best subserve the ends of justice and secure to the law that respect and observance which the publie good im- peratively demands. A severe sentence might be vindi- cated upon many grounds. The law which you have re- fused to obey was enacted to uphold and strengthen the goverament which others are seeking to destroy. It operated with no great severity upon you, cer- tainly not greater than upon millions who daily submit to its provisions. Business like yours, devoted to the of luxuries, should be the very last to escape any share of the public burdeng, Yet it seems that some of those who follow it are the most strentious in seeking to avoid the just and moderate tax imposed upon them. I thero- fore feel justified in saving tbat a severe sentence would not be without weighty reasons to support it. On the other hand, I have considered that your conviction, and the explanation of the law given by srs may have a salutary eftect upon those who have hi comply with it, under some vague notion that they were 1D some way to oseapé its operations, I have finally come to the conclusion that the lesson of your conviction will not be lost upon those by reason of a mild sentence upon you. Itrust that in this I shall not be mistaken, If such shall prove to be the case, those who continue to a the law will fiad th&t it is a mistake which [ ‘shall not be likely to fall into a secona time. The judgment and sentence of the Court is that you be impeeone twenty days and pay a ponalty of sixty The Trials at Police Headquarters. THE CASE OP OFFICER DOUGHERTY, OF THE FOURTH— A CITIZEN INVERFERES WITH AN OFFICER AND GETS KNOOEED DOWN FOR HIS PHILANTHROPY—AN OFFI CER IS ACCUSED OF NOT SCREAMING ‘‘FIRE’’ LOUD ENOUGH TO AWAKEN THE FIRE LADDIRS—TWO PO- LICE CAPTAINS ON TRIAL—THEY BOTH COME OFF VICTORIOUS, ETC. The trials for the week past have not been so numerous as on some previous occasions; but there were a few of the cases tbat were long-winded enough to more than make up for any lack in quantity. The first caso was that of officer Dougherty, of the Fourth precinct, against whom roundsman Biair com- Piained that he found him lying on a coal box in Madizon street, intoxicated. The roundsman said he told the offi- Cor to get up and go on post, and that the tater got up, Dut staggered, and finally wandered off post. Upon this Blair sent him in to the station house. Officer Kennedy was called up, but could not tell much about the case, He could not say the man was drunk; at the same time he did not think he was perfectly sober. Dougherty Produced two witnesses, who swore they saw him just previous tohis being met by the roundsman, and that was then sober. Dougherty expleined that he had been hort in an encounter with a prisoner whom he had arrested that night, and that this bad affected bis head, 80 much so asto make him exhibit symptoms similar to those produced by alcoholic drinks. rie cretate Rew, it bim to appear as he did. officer could not be proved to bave been intoxicated, however, and the complaint was . Citizen Ernst, of the Eighth ward, complained that Sergeant Wado, of the Eighth precinct, maltreated him. ‘The citizen statod tbat a friend of his bad been arrested > officer Carroll, and that as he was taking nim along he ¢ it) came up and laid his band upon officer and said tobim ‘*Excuso me, sir; I wish to speak with this ‘igoner;”” and that upon this Sergeant Wade kn cked ‘im down, but did not arrest him. Three witnesses, who Prefaced their statements by saying they were chu: members, testified to the ill treatment administered, but could say nothing regarding the cause thereof. Carroll showed that there was an attempt to rescue the prisoner from him, which would succeeded but for the time- ly interference of Sergeant Wade, who struck out from the shoulder, and provented the design of the prisoner's frend The sergeant stated that he should have arrest- ] ed citizen Ernst, but had bis hands fall in assisting Carroll to take in his prisoner. The case ared rather against the citizen, and President Acton admonished him let officers alone when they were in the performance of their a 5 Bo firemen living in the Seventeenth ward complained that officer Brockheimer did not call Fire” loud enough when on his post to wake them up. One of them said ho halloced like a sick baby. Tho President suggested that be might aps have called out in German, and they could not understand it. Brockheimer, who is a German, stated that he screamed out “Fire loud enough for any- body, and produced a witness who was a fireman, and who swore that he heard Brockheimer every time. One of the complainants said to the witness ‘How do you know it was Brockheimer that called /”” theimer immediately interrupted by exclaiming, «‘How you koow I no holler whemyou be sleep?” There to be nothing in the case, and it was dismissed. Captain Powers, of the Forty-fourth precinct, Brookiyn, was charged with’ neglect of duty, by citizon Gilliland an old gentioman of a very vid school. Citizen G. state: his house had been entered and robbed while ho was away, and he did not think Captain Powers bad exercised proper vigilance in endeavoring to get the thief. Captain Powers wed, however, that he had done everything possible ‘to recover the property and arrest the perpetra- rs, and Judge Lh a ond the testimony. This and Captain Powers was shown to be ail wa = only other case of importance was that of Captain Helme, ove of the ablest captains in tne department. Roundsman Rigney, who has lately been reduced to the ranks and sent on post, complained that 7 Helme did not entertain the complaints which he made to him in writing of the men previous to bis boing reduced to the ranks. Rigney with a long list of con} ts which he had made to the Captain, but which never come to the oars of the Commissioners. Captain Helme defended his own case, and showed marked ability in 90 doing. He ‘most conclusively that the compisints alluded to ought never to have been made. He showed by the blotter that oy wae wroug in his dates, and not on daty at the tim assumed to bave made some of the complaints. He further showed that Rigney had repeatedly violated and disobeyed orders that he received from the desk. This was shown by Rigney’s own confession.

PURCELL STILL ALIVE—ANTE-MORTEM EXAMINATION BY THE CORONER—ALMOST ANOTHER TRAGEDY @ROWING OUT OF THE APFAIR, BTC. ‘The excitement occasioned by the shooting affair in Chatham street on Friday morning continued al) day yesterday among the friends of the parties concerned in both the Fourth and Sixth wards. Yesterday afternoon Coroner Naumann held an ante-mortem examination, and the facts elicited throw a eomewhat different light on the whole transaction, Jt appears now that Purcell, at the time of the gad occurrence, was not accompanied by a gang of rowdies, but,on the contrary, that he went to the showroom alove, By the subjoined testimony, taken Defore Coroner Naumann, our readers will see for them- selves the true facts of this melancholy occurrence. The wounded man was in a decidedly more favorable gondition yesterday, and it ia believed that he may even- tually recover, with close attention and quietude of mind. He speaks quite easily, and appears to be composed. He bas, however, been prepared for death by the Rev. Father Quinn, of St. Peter’s church, in Barclay street, and ex- presses himself unwilling to have any harm befall Geary for the injuries he has suftered. On being requested by Coroner Naumann to give a statement of the occurrence yesterday, he replied that he ‘would feel very much obliged if they would leave him alone; the dootor had told him not to excite or distress himeelf, and therefore he desired to make no statement eoncerning the affair.” Coroner Naumann | Jereupon pro- ceeded to swear other witnesses, and took the following testimony :— Edward O'Brien, restding at No. 9 Doyer street, bel sworn, saye:—I am partner in the curiositys show at No. 145 Chatbam street: day before yesterday eveni the man who is wounded came to the above: place an threatened to break up the business unless we paid bim $3 8 day; at eleven o'clock yesterday he came the alone and smushed the tables and othor things, and as- sanited the organ player; Mr. Valentine was attacked by him at this time, and ho (Valeatine) drew @ revolver and shot the wounded man, Michael Purcoll; were about twelve fect apart when Valentine shot, when Purcell was shot, ied break- ing the things; Purcell had no knife, pistol, club or otber weapon of any kind with him that I coukl see; as soon as he was shot he turn- ed and ran down stairs; Mr. Valentine left the room, and I followed; I left and went home; I left Mr. Valentine corner of Doyer and Chatham streets; he asked me where he should give himself up; I told him at tho Fourth ward. James Geary, residing at No. 15 Bowery, being sworn, saye:—] am a showman; I witnessed the shooting of Purcell between cleven and twelve o’cloc! saw Purcell in the showroom in Chatham sti the first I noticed of him he was pushing the organ player inst a table, almost ushing him over; he then smashed a table and knocked jown & glass case anioverything else in the place; Val- entine then drew a revolver and instantly shot Purcell; I think he shot twice; Purcell then turned and rap, and that je last I saw of him; I went home after that; Valentine and Purcell were perhaps ten feet apart when the shooting occurred; Mr. Valentine’s name is Jono Valentine Geary; he is my brother William Deakin, residing at No. 15 Bowery, being worn, says:—I am a show man; I was present yesterday when Purcell was shot; 1 went to the showroom at about Dalf-past ten o'clock; Purcell oame in between eleven and twelve o’clock ; he walked ja without saying a word, went up to the organ player, who wa stand: ‘by the table, ‘and pushed him against it, breaking it: tho table was next to a glaes case and Mr. Valentine was sitting behind the caso; Purcell pushed the table, knocked over the case and shoved Velentine off his seat; he instantly jumped up ‘and sbot Purcell; he was shot immediately after he knocked over the cage and table; he ran out after he was shot, and soon after I left the place and saw no more that ocourred. Aloily Lyon, being sworn, says:--1 am a polive officer of the Tenth precinct. yesterday, about eleven o'clock, | was on duty in the Bowery, near Division street, when Valen tine came up to me and said, ‘Officer, 1 want you to ar- rest me-—I've shot a roan down in Chatham street in gelf- defence,” I thought at first the man was crazy, but soon another man came up and told me to arrest him, which T did; be requested me to take him to the station house, ‘ae he feared he would be attacked and murdered; I took bim to the station house. ‘On this testimony the jury foun nat Micheal Purcell was dangerously wounded by a pistol shot, at the hands of Johu Valentine Geary.” ‘The prisover was committed to the Tombs to await the death or recovery of Purcell. Purcell is twenty-three years of age, and a native of Ireland. He lies at 126 East Thirty-reventh street. On Friday evening, at eight o'clock, almost anether ebooting affair, growiog out of the wounding of Purcell, took place in the Bowery, directly in front of Crook’s dining saloon. anes ros to the statement of Eugene Geary, broil} the prieconer, he was accosted by Jim Bartley, who aaid to bim, “How is your murdering brother?” to which Eugene replied, “I suppoue he is locked up.’? Dan MeDermott, it is alleged, bi fered, and hard words passed between him and Geary, McDermott making use of abusive and indecent language. Ale wanted to fight; but Geary rofused to quar- rel with him then, saying he would do co at anctber time. Bartley remarked to Geary, ‘‘You are a thief,” and in- atavtiy passed 1 pistol te McDermott, who plaeed the weapon to Geary's Lead. The latter seized McDermott’s hand, and, drawing a revolver from his own pocket, tempted to biow out the brains of his assailant; but the weapon hung fire, and officer Lyon, of the Tenth precinct, coming ap at that time, separated the parties and took Geary to the station house for protection. Geary says be intends to lodge a complaint against McDermott and have him arrested for an assault with intent to take bis life.

St. Vaterrine’s Day.—The anniversary of tne patron of lovers, old Bishop Valentive, falls on this day, but for all practical purposes was celebrated yesterday, by the ‘obsorvance of the time honored custom of sending love and hate missives through the Post Office. It ts geverally considered that the anniversary was but poorly cele brated this year. The sale of valentines has been by no means large, and the Post Office authorities did not re- mark any extraordinary increase in their labors yester- day. It isevident that a custom, yoo good and laudable in its purposes, but latterly atteaded by most reputable practices, is fast felling into disuse. In a few years more, perhaps, St. Valentine will only be re memberod by the stationers.

FRIGHTFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Two Cars Run OF a |, dic. {From the Toronto (Canada) Globe, Feb. 10.) One of the most fright(al railway accidents tt has been our melancholy duty te record for a length of time, ocour- red yesterday morning on the Grand nk Railroad, re- sulting in the instant death of three persons, employes on the road. The following are tho particulars of the melan- ly as we loarned ther The Grand Trunk Railway, a short distance west of the Georgetown station, crosses over the river Credit by one of the largest bridges on the road. It is substantially cone structed in the usual manner, and ts peculiar only as being one of the bighest—if not the very highest—bridges on the road, it being no less thao one hwhdred and twerty- five feet from the surface of the to the floor of the bridge. The river at this point is vory sballow, being at this season of the year not more than two or three feet iu nat ool yesterday morning as No. 16 freight train, from Sarnia, was approaching this bridge, it waa noticed by those on the train that an axletree of one of the rear cara was brokeu. The engine driver, on being notified of the fact, at once whistled ‘brakes down,” ‘Dut owing to foe o the track, and the train being on the down grado. the brakes did not have the usual effecton the wheels, and the train could not be stopped as quickly as under ordinary circumstances. At the time the defect in the axletroe was discovered, the train was within about two hundred yards of the bridge, and going at the ordi. nary rate of speed. The persons on tho train did all in their power to stop it. All their efforts, howover, ware unavailing, as tbe train still kept moving, aod in @ few moments entered on the bridge. The engine and tender and a number of the cars passed onward in safety, but just as the last two cars came upon the bridge, the coupling of the forward one broke. In these cars were the conductor of the train, Mr. R. Kennedy. and two brakemen, Mr. J. Wadding an R.Crooker. Immediately on the parting of the train the last two cars ran off the track, dashed through the side rail of the bridge, took an awful leap into tho air, and fall with a fearful crash into the river beneath—a distance of one hundred and twenty-five feet. They were, of course, smashed to atoms. and the three unfortunate men, who & momeuvt before wore full of vigor and life, were man- gied in such a horrible manner a8 to be scarcely distin- guishable as buman beings. Their arms, bodies, beads ‘and legs were cut, smashed and crushed into one eicken ing, awful masa of creeping, jellied flesh aud bono. Tho hoad ot the unfortunate conductor could at firet nowhero be found; but after searching for a while among the ruins, pieces of skull, face and brain—all that now re. mained of it—were picked up and gathered together, THE GREAT GUN. rtamt Event at the Fort itt = ‘orke—Casting of a MTwenty-Iach jun. {From the Pittsburg Commercial, Feb. 12.) One of the most important events in the history of the rebellion, and which inaugurates a ner in the manu- facture of heavy guns, took place on Thursday, between twelve and one o'clock, at the Fort Pitt Works. A gun, with calibre of twenty inches diameter, was cast on thi Rodman privciple, in some twenty-two minutes from the time of tapping the furnaces. The arrangements for casting this mammoth piece of ordnance, were most per- fect, and during its process everything worked like clock work, The amount of metal used for this huge gun was eighty-five tons, or one hundred and seventy thousand pounds, The metal was melted in threo furnaces; which were charged at five o'clock in the morning. At twenty minntes past twelve, everythin; being in readiness, the three furnaces re simul- taneously tapped, and the molten metal was conveyed by means of three conductors to a large reservoir close to the mould. ‘The mould was set perpendicularly in a 1d was held in position by huge chains 8 two large cranes of a lifting capacity of forty tons each, and worked by steam. As soon as the reservoir was sufficiently charged the metal flowed from it into the mould, and in-twenty.two minutes from the time of tapping the furnaces the meuld was fified to within a few inches of the top. As the metal settled the mould was filled by the workmen with metal from fur- naces held In reserve ia case of accident. The casting was perfected without the slightest confusion, the whole being done under the immediate superintendence of Mr. Joseph Kaye, foreman of the works. We are indebted to Captain Joseph M. Knap for the fol- lowing statistics, which will give our readers a better idea of the magnitude of the castin, + 160,000 Ibs, Weight of gun in rough. Weight when finished Total length when finished.

If the gun was rifled it is th i it would throw a solid shot of one ton in weight. The amount of powder to be nsed in charging the gua is estimated from obey to one hundred pounds. This gun is snid to be the largest in the world, and to Pittsburg belongs the honor be igs such a heavy peace of ordnance to the scienco of war. The casting of the guo, as we before remarked. was on the hollow core principle, invented by Major Rodman, United States Army, core consists of an iron cylin. alf an inch in thickness, through whic! ream of r is kept continuously running during the process of casting. This cylinder is wrapped with rove, which is covered by sand, and outside of this for a short distance from the mouth of the monld is a sheet iron cylinder. Daring the casting the water discharged from the core in- dicated a temperature of from forty to forty-two de- grees. The gun will romain in the pit undergoing the cooling process some ten days or two weeks, after which it will be hauled out by means of tne large jes refor- red to, and removed ou a raliway truck to the finishing department of the works, where it will be placed in a lathe and finished. It is not yet known what disposition will be made of the gun when completed, but it is thought not improbable ‘that it will be placed in some of the aefences of New York harbor. If 80, we would not like to insure the safety of the Black Prin should they att like intent.

Between twelve and one o'clock on Saturday morning 4 Gre was discovered in the free storage store 663 Water street, kept by Miller & Conger. On breaking open the doors the fire was seen among come bales of cotton on the first foer. The flames scon spread, and extended up the hatchway to the fifth floor, setting fire to a number of bales of rags. This building communicates with No. 566 through brick arches, and at one time it was feared that the fire would'spread in that direction; but the fremev, by judicious management, succeeded in confining the fire to the building in which it commenced. A Iargeamount of tobacco and other property in 565 was preserved from damage by water by the insurance patrol, under Captain Crossin, by covering it up with tarpaulins. Tho police, under Capteio Jammiron and bis ser- eants, rendered efficient service in protecting the United States bonded warehouses adjoining.

Mosby bas been dashing upon and skirmiabing with our pickets near Manassas this afternoon and evening, but a cavalry force bas gone out in pursuit of him and may bring the Major in on a stretcher. It is reported that two or throe of our pickets were killed. A telegraph operator’s wife walked three miles out from Fairfax Station yesterday afternoon, in company witha Union lady, at whose house she remained during the night. A hundred or more armed rebels made the night hideous to the inmates of the house, yelling, hooting and occasionally pointing their muskets toward defenceless women and obildren, but committing no actual violence, It is significant that the Forty-cighth Mississippi, from which deserters came, relicved an Alabama regiment that could no longer be trusted on picket. A squad of rebel soldiers were asked yesterday, while being oscorted by a guard near army headquarters, if they were captured, The reply was, ‘No, we deserted; ‘and there are a plenty more on the otner side of the Rap- idan who would do the same thing ff they could.’* NEWS FROM TENNESSEE, Union Forces on a Scout—Fifty Rebels Killed and Sixty-three Taken Prison- ers, » he.
