Our Troops We have been informe thati some of 'the South Carolina troops, cf (en: JOIINSToN'8 army, will passr rrugli Winnsboro, in regular arniy order, in a -day or two. We hope that these Vet*. .rang will enroy peace and otmfortw RaIlroad Aoldet. We learn that about ten days ago while a train bearing a large lrumber of paroled soldiers as, ceming fem Salis bury, N. C., to Charlotte, N. 0., the en gine and ohe otar tah bif, killing fdur s6l. diers and wounding seven. Since the above was put in type we learn that Capt. DAvie, of Columbia, S C., had his leg' crushed so bad by the accident that amputation was nesseary which was performed. The Williaaton lt We learn from 'gentleman who hb just arrived here, that Col. KRas.'s raid ing party made a raid on the Greenville railroad, in 'the neighborhbod of Wil, liamstoni, a 'few days ago, capturing a train of cars and an engmnie, which they destroyed. The party then. turned back, but for what reason our informint does not know. We suppose, hohever, that this party was notapprised of the surrender of this section'6f country at the time of the raid, but learning of it, afterwards, retraced their steps. Our dtizens need have no fear of a raid in this'section, for wh'en it becomes generally known that all the country east of the Chattahoochie has been surrendered, ever' one will be left in peaceable pursuit of business, as Gen. SHERMAN'S order informs us will be. the case. The railroad wa not interferred with, nor torn up.. Death of Beyard. A Confederate officer whio'has just re turned from a flag of truce expedition to Sister's Ferry, inforpis the Augusta Con General whom he' met, says official in formation had been received at head. quarters in Savannah of SkrWARD's death. Rumors. The Augusta Constitutionalist says that a gentleman came out of Savannalt, .during the past week, and states that h. had seen it stated in New York pep.es that France, Austria and' Spain haY re 46gdited the Confederacy, .entbat they had agreed to sustain our Govermnsent 'by armed intervention. frther par * ticulars have been related, but we re -k fain 'from repeating them until they are corroborated. One thing is certain, that there is some news behind the curtain that has led to tile armistice. Time alona will develop the faicts.
